Received the following from the Johnson List Deanna New Ancestors series to air in June Date: Thursday, April 06, 2000 12:23 PM Ancestors, the highly successful PBS series, returns in June 2000 with a new format, thirteen new episodes shot on location around the world, and the most current information about the quest for family history. After the first series aired in 1997, viewers asked for a second series with more specific instruction about researching their roots. The new Ancestors series rises to the challenge with an exciting new emphasis: the world of records. The series highlights records that family historians use, such as newspapers, immigration records, military records, and the census. Each episode weaves dramatic personal stories of family history discovery with expert instruction from the nation's top genealogists and librarians. Seasoned genealogists will gain as much from these tips as those who have an interest in family history research but don't yet know where to begin. FGS and GenTech members who have seen sneak previews have received the new series with enthusiasm.
