Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

What was once a dream for those who could afford the extensive research time & travel has become affordable for everyone thanks to genetic services such as 23&Me and Ancestry - and the series inspires the viewer to do just that, to discover their past through genetics.

The series is entertaining and informative as well as emotive and compelling. It's definitely a must "schedule record" on the dvr as not not miss an episode.

Finding your roots pulls at our heartstrings and speaks to our senseability with their strong research. The Production Manager in this show really shines!

How can I get chosen for a research into my family roots ?

Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates is soaring high this season. The celebrity guests are awesome. The American history, the story telling, and the surprise endings are so moving. Every episode is a must watch. Science Pioneers, The Slave Trade, Beyond the Pale, Secrets & Lies, Off the Farm, Italian Roots. I can't pick a favorite because they are all so good. Keep the stories coming! I love this show.

I enjoy the show, I have learned a lot of information regarding my Irish roots, as well as places to make contacts. Many of the guest are forever entertaining.

I remember one story when the mother escaped by carrying her child on her back only to drown it when she crossed a body of water.

Tony Shaloub was one of my favorites.
