"Finding your Roots" on PBS [View all]

Is anyone watching this? I find it fascinating, particularly the name changing part. I found that one of my ancestors changed his name when he became naturalized. It was German, and I had tried all the variations but would never have found it if not for a small note on one of my family papers.

Re the show, Geoffrey Canada and Barbara Walters were in the epi i watched. This show runs from March-May. Check out the website to see all of the people involved. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/finding-your-roots/
