Roots

I've been trying to watch the genealogy shows "Who Do You Think You Are" on NBC (?) on Thursday nights and "Finding Your Roots" on PBS on Sunday nights. I'm usually re-encouraged to get online to Ancestry or Family Search (the LDS search site) after watching them. Of course, I'm sure very few of these people (whether celebrity or ordinary Joe) do their own research and, on "Who . . .", I'm sure their trips overseas are subsidized by Ancestry, the main sponsor. I really don't expect to go to Flasch, Switzerland, real soon, myself.
