And I've just uncovered a tad more of the story.....I thought I had but it was the wrong direction....   :-\

Oh well, I might just be patient.

like everyone else it seems i was lucky that i saw the prog was on.  i was looking for something else and am pleased foxtel has a good epg on it.
i do think some of the family learning things should be shown. amanda redman taking her newly found cousin back to meet the family was a classic.
still not watched this one but i am looking forward to it

I enjoyed this episode very much.  I like Shaun Micallef as a comedian but it was interesting to see another side of him as was presented when he so was touched by the findings. 

I also went to school with a Micallef, pronounced Mick-a-liff.  I can't understand how the name came to be pronounced the way it is, but I suppose it might have been slightly Anglicised (?) when his grandparents came to Australia.

I would love to just go and knock on the door of the past homes of my grandparents to have a look around like they do on WDYTYA.  What a buzz that must be!

So would I Nina!     We did get a chance to do that once in Tasmania - but there are other places we've found where I'd love to go back - specially the one I knew my grandparents in and which has now been done up!!

I'm going to be interested to see if I've discovered a little of the O'Brien story in Queensland......and the right gg-grandparents!   :)   :-X   :-X

Mustn't spend any more time on this....why is it so addictive?    ;D

'cos it is like doing a jigsaw puzzle - just put one more piece in to see the picture emerging!   It is our way of doing jigsaws!
