    3. A mailing list posted this blurb about the program -- all the more reason to watch! I believe this program was shown last year, but I plan to tune in again. "DNA technology has added a new aspect to genealogy. On Saturday, April 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CT) on The History Channel a two-hour special follows a group of Native Americans, who turn to ancestral DNA in an attempt to win tribal recognition from the government. Actor William Baldwin and Braveheart screenwriter Randall Wallace trace their family trees and a British historian traces two deadly genes through the European royal family to solve a decades-old mystery surrounding Queen Victoria." Description from the History Channel website: Benjamin Bratt narrates a 2-hour special that combines the history and mystery of names with a genealogical search. Traveling from ancient China to medieval Europe, from Africa to the Wild West, we search through slavery, the Indian Wars, and the great wave of U.S. immigration. As actor William Baldwin and "Braveheart" screenwriter Randall Wallace trace their family trees, we learn the genealogist's tools and look to the future. Can we move beyond written records to prehistoric times? >Regarding the Family Tree Special on the History Channel, Saturday, April >06, 2002, 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM, >Here is what Robert McDougle sent: >"My TV schedule shows this program on from 9 to midnight. >Now, I'm on satellite, not cable, so the schedule might be different but >I suggest you check your TV schedule."
