Who do you think you are?

The hit family history series is set to return to our TV sets January 21 8/7c! I, for one, cannot wait!  The celebrities to be featured have yet to be released.

for those of you that have never seen the show, they help (read do the research for) celebrities to solve the mysteries in their family trees.  They offer tips and tricks along the way for those of us doing our own research and though they are not doing the leg work, their stories are rather interesting.

The first series was rather short and I am hoping for a few more episodes this time around.  Definitely looking forward to this season.  It has felt like ages since the last episode!

WDYTYA Brooke Shields Episode **Spoiler Alert**

I watched this a bit earlier in the evening and wasn't too sure whether I was going to comment on it or not.  I found her tracing of her royal blood not all that interesting.  A lot of people claim to have royal blood, and as it turns out *gasp* they don't.  She, did in fact, have a royal line.

The interesting part was her grandmother.  She had faced tragedy so many times throughout her life.  As Brooke said it best "she never did recover from it".  Her mother died when she was 10 leaving Brooke's grandmother to help her father raise 2 other children.  Her younger brother drowned at age 13.  What a tremendous loss!

I thought it was an OK episode.  Nothing compared to Lisa Kudrow's heart-wrenching story.  But that is the joy of genealogy.  Every family has a story worth telling.  No family is a "boring" family.
