WDYTYA USA
« on: Tuesday 13 March 18 12:51 GMT (UK) »
In case anyone is interested, there's a new series of the US version of WDYTYA starting next Tuesday (20th) at 9pm on W Channel. The first episode is on Courteney Cox of Friends fame.

I know a lot of people don't like the US versions but I think they produced some really good ones: e.g. Kelsey Grammar (Frasier) and Jim Parsons (Big Bang). It does help if you've actually heard of them!
HELP!!!

 BATHSHEBA BOOTHROYD bn c. 1802 W. Yorks.

Baptism nowhere to be found. Possibly in a nonconformist church near ALMONDBURY or HUDDERSFIELD.

Thank you, I will tune in! I love all of the genealogy programs, even if some are better than others.

Oh I would love to see that - do we get W Channel in England? 

I have seen some US episodes before but don't remember what channel they were on.

I have rarely heard of the people on uk WDYTHYA, that doesn't make me enjoy it less. It is the ancestors and research that I am interested in.

It isn't on freeview or freesat as it is a pay channel but is on the likes of Talk Talk, Virgin Media and Sky.

A review of the Courtney Cox ("Friends") episode:

Courteney Cox hoped her forebears hadn’t murdered anyone, but found that real life is often more gruesome than Game of Thrones
