Great programme. Echoed a similar experience of mine when I finally plugged into the blood line all the way to Charlemagne and beyond

How fun.
Now I can tell all those church folk that I'm related to Jesus.  Wink

I felt it was more of a history lesson this week, but was still very interesting to hear about cousin Matthew's family.  Roll Eyes

WOW - what a great direct line and so good to see someone genuinely interested.

I enjoyed this episode, but what am I going to watch now on a Thursday, mind you they did say that WDYTYA will return next year.

Gateway Ancestors are particularly handy when you are broke. Alls that you need is an internet connection. So far I've got the Dukes of Bavaria and the Electors of Brandenburg to name a few!

My Gateway ancestor was a London lawyer's daughter  without a noble name or title... but had an aristocratic background.

Never ignore maternal lines.. most "Gateway Ancestors" are women

I loved this episode too - and what a nice guy he is.

The only thing I thought was a shame was that that last revelation was foreshadowed (and therefore "spoiled") in the BBC trailer for the series.  I wish the news had come as a surprise to me as it did to Matthew Cheesy

But what a fantastic document that old parchment scroll was - Wodun, Adam and Eve, Jesus, God.  Can't beat that!
