“Finding Your Roots” on PBS

I’ve now watched a few episodes of this show and I find it strangely fascinating. I wish they’d do my background. 


Love, love, love the show. Jealous that I am not famous enough to have my history traced. 


But wondering if EVERY celebrity has such interesting ancestors. Do they ever do someone whose result is just meh? That was a waster of time and resources. Or does everyone has a fascinating history?



Some stories are organically more dramatic than others for sure. Where there’s not much, they try to create interest utilizing actual historic events as backdrops to personal stories where the ancestor may or may not have had a direct link to those events.
