I think it says somethi...Finally saw the episode. <br /><br />I think it says something that this was the most emotional of the episodes for some viewers, and the 'new information' didn't extend the family line any further back.<br /><br />Reminds viewers that the research isn't always focused on finding more ancestors, but its sometimes focused on finding more information about our ancestors.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779409214968505642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-58411099501172091202010-03-20T09:40:19.745-05:002010-03-20T09:40:19.745-05:00Best yet!

And yes, way too many...A five-hanky episode for me. And yes, way too many recaps. If these were to benefit viewers just tuning in (or to catch channel surfers), it was a waste of air time. Full episodes of WDYTYA are available at NBC.com. I watched the Emmitt Smith episode there.<br /><br />Lisa K had to know the story of her ggm's murder would be painful. My sense was the neighbor *wanted* to tell it on national TV, to prevent it happening again. But I don't think Lisa was quite prepared for the mass grave, or standing on the spot where her ggm and so many others were slaughtered. But then, how can one "prepare" for that?<br /><br />Despite the excessive recaps and painful subject matter, I too think this was the best episode so far. <br /><br />Joanna/JamaGenieJamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-6299040209136232192010-03-19T21:20:15.321-05:002010-03-19T21:20:15.321-05:00Thomas,

But, it was time to reflect and soak in, what had just happened.<br /><br />As with the previous 2 episodes, they started and home and ended at home.<br /><br />I did see a couple of comments about Lisa not taking her father with her. My take was that Lisa had to do it alone. The two previous "stars" also made their journey alone. But the storys that were brought home, were awesome.<br /><br />Saw a little more of Ancestry.com. Not a negative, but its out there, and the use of modern technology to have a video call to reconnect the family.<br /><br />Who'da thought a couple of years ago, to be able to do that.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-1908735225642674982010-03-19T21:06:23.733-05:002010-03-19T21:06:23.733-05:00Only three?

So far all three episodes have dealt with some tragedy. Why do the horrible things in history leave more records than the happy things?Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.com
