Ah but is it a 'new' series,there has been nothing to advertise it,so I wonder if it might be rejigged repeats? Hope not though  :)

I've just had a look at the BBC1 website and find it's the 2nd part of a series of 20 that we started last year. Episode 11 is on Monday.

Having been contacted by Finders International last year, I'd be interested to see this. Thanks for flagging it up, KG.

I wonder if they'll feature the company that contacted my family last week - subsequently found they were barking up the wrong (family) tree, but I think I've found a living relative for the right deceased.

I think they cover only a few HH firms/business.  I guess it depends on area..

Well done Liz, your FH 'nose' seems to have possibly Sussed it, at no charge I guess :)

Well done (& nice of you) Lizzie & don't be surprised if they are in touch with you in the future!  :-\

Just goes to show how the 'Experts' can sometimes get it wrong!!!

I have told the HH they have wrong family but not that I have possibly traced the right family. I don't think they deserve it for the ridiculous mistakes they made on my family tree. But I think I should tell someone. I have got address of the descendant from electoral register, or should I go to one of the bigger HH companies. I doubt if a big estate, the deceased was a spinster and died in a care home in 2008.

Sounds an idea, a firm who know what they're doing  ::)
