Hi Kerry
Yes, I had noticed that there's many more online than usual at this time. But lets be honest, if we weren't all addicted to all things 'genealogy' we wouldn't be on here in the first place, would we? So we all HAVE to watch it!

If only it was that easy though, you just walk into a registry office and come out with death certificates!!!

Yes, but they do make it look so easy!

I wish they would make a program about my family, it would be so lovely to have.

It was so nice (?not really the right word) to see he was so moved by what he leaned.  I welled up a few times  ::)

Well I personally think it was a vast improvement on the first series (yes,they do still make it all look so easy). Greater depth and background and then just when I was beginning to think that JP might actually be human he goes and declares that he doesn't care what people think of him. .... must be the Scottish blood mixing with the yorkshire strain  ;D

Wow that was an emotional ordeal. I found bit of it upsetting. His family really had it bad. It's lovely to see how well he's turned out. Brilliant. Well done Jeremy.
