Great Granny Williams, the Dorset button maker !
|
 we all were once !
I enjoyed this one ... it had what we expect of a TV genealogy programme; the paper-work and the foreign visits ! Even just a few tears !
The Jewish pogroms and persecution was terrible. But Zoe was lucky to be able to find a family grave ...

I've always loved Zoe in her acting roles.
It was lovely to see her just as sensitive in real life. And what a fascinating line we followed. 
My favourite of all so far.
Thanks acceber (again I believe) for the heads-up.
Paul

Is the custom of putting a stone on a grave a Jewish one? I have seen references to it before but I'm not sure where.
I agree that her Grandfather's life story was a wonderful (interesting and useful) document to have. If only...

Hi Kate *waves hello*
Its only a film reference i know, but i saw the holocaust survivors do this in the movie Schindlers List. At the end of the film, all the people Oscar Schindler saved that were still alive, filed past his grave and laid a stone on the grave to remember him by. I am pretty sure that this is a jewish tradition.

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode - not only because there was more emphasis on the research - but also because of Zoe's reactions to the various revelations. I like the idea of leaving a stone on the grave when you visit it. I may adopt this custom myself.

What about her mother's side of the family? Who did her father marry?

Definitely the best so far, much more records and actual "researching"... 100% better than last weeks.. but for me, id still like to see the shows concentrate more again on going further back, to see how far they can go, but thats just me i guess lol
Much better episode tho

I'd like some of the good episodes spread over a couple of weeks, so you could look at both sides of the family, or go a bit further back. There's only so much you can fit into an hour, and they did cram a lot into this programme.

I thought it was an excellent programme far superior to the others in this series and good to feel the mixed natural emotions of Zoe.

I think it was one of the better episodes of this series, at least I did not fall asleep this time (after having looked forward to it all week), but it would appear that I am alone in thinking it is still disappointing compared to the first series.
In the earlier series the length was the same but it felt like 10 minutes because it was full of interest, forever on the move and that tree kept growing and moving further back, further than some of us without such resources/experience/time, can ever hope to achieve.
This series seems to concentrate mostly on just one ancestor. The FBI/Communist part of this episode was interesting but I was very glad when they eventually moved on.
Zoe Wanamaker came over as I hoped she would, a lovely lady with genuine emotions but I must be one of the few who would not mind who's tree (celebrity or not )it was as long as it was entertaining, interesting and informative.
