I saw an ad a while ago for the Jewish Museum in London and I thought at the time it might be useful for anyone with Jewish ancestry (none in my lot so far!).
The historical collections look interesting anyway http://www.jewishmuseum.org.uk/

I enjoyed her story very much, but I am sorry to say Nigella is not my cup of tea at all.
I felt that she wanted the 'grander' life not that she hadn't had one, 
It must be nice to visit all the places your rellies lived without a care in the world - no babysitting to arrage, make sure you have enough cash to go to with, can you get a train etc etc

Yes Jane I agree
and look up census records on ancestry and find them instantly. Walk into the FRC and come out with death certificates.

I really enjoyed the programme, in as much as it covered new ground with the Jewish connection (as I have found my brickwall of a GGG grandfather, was possibly Jewish).
Nigella on the other hand dropped in my estimation. She did have delusions of grandeur (as L.A.Blue mentioned) and what a fitting end to the story, need I say more!
Still love the cookery books.

Apparently what does it for some men is the voice and the fact that unlike most celebrities she has curves!!!!!
So I have just been informed!

I totally agree with you Jane about Nigella, she isn't my cup of tea now either!
To be honest because her history had already been mapped out I felt it lacked the element of surprise.
The footage of Belson was shocking and very emotive, but why was this shown in such detail when it was only assumed her grandfather had been there?
The cynic in me hopes it wasn't included to dramatize quite a lack lustre programme.
Could it be I was so looking forward to it and it wasn't as good as I'd hoped?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (who traditionally resides at No. 11 Downing Street) is the government's chief financial minister and has equivalent ‘rank’ to a Secretary of State, (rather than just a minister, as there are several Treasury Ministers). He is responsible for raising government revenue through taxation or borrowing and for controlling overall government spending. The Chancellor is the most senior figure at the Treasury, although the Prime Minister holds the additional title of 'First Lord of the Treasury', since he is the Prime minister.
I can't understand all the fuss about Nigella Lawson - so, she cooks ..... and.....? I bet she's glad her father wasn't called Sidney or Horace - Sidella? Horacella? Nah!!!

My main complaint, which is very small as I love these series, is how they don't give equal focus to the women. I really dislike the way the graphic of the tree lists the women under their married name - in my mind it should ALWAYS be birth name. Pam
Pleased they have started using the womens maiden name in the trees instead of the married names

Sadly that is probably only because Nigella was using an already prepared tree.
I really really agree with you though geordie lad, it is the correct way of doing things.
