I posted a couple of months ago about the new season of "Who Do You Think You Are?" on NBC in America (there's a British version too. I'm not sure about other countries). Each episode takes a celebrity and has that person research his/her family tree.
It's sponsored by Ancestry.com. In celebration of the 2nd season, Ancestry also ran a sweepstakes where anyone can win a trip to the country of their choice (up to $20,000 in travel money), up to 8 hours of consultation time with an expert genealogist (I wonder if Joao Ventura wants to put up with 8 hours of me?), help from up to 5 experts in fields relevant to your family history, and a yearlong Ancestry.com World Deluxe membership for you and 5 family members. You can enter daily up to April 8th http://goo.gl/Wqz2v I also became aware of "The Generations Project." It's on BYU TV. Although I don't live in Utah or get cable or satellite from any BYU station, you can register to see it live online or view it afterwards for free, without needing to register. From what I understand, it's similar to "Who Do You Think You Are?" but they use just us regular genealogists (I'm guessing that they are again starting in America). They are launching the second season and again, it was posted in Legacy Family Tree's newsletter: http://goo.gl/p5TMH Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
