For anyone on the list and those of you in Canada that can watch, this show looks good. Faces of America With Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The Promise of America Wednesday, February 10, 2010 08:00:00PM Station: WGBH/Channel 2 Feed Common Name: WGBH

Hello, Prof. Gates offered a previous series of "genealogy shows" a year or 2 ago, and I watched the whole series. It was -very- good. It wasn't just about the important people he was doing up a family-tree for; it showed "how" he did the research. There's another genealogy-type show coming up in March, but before 5 am I can't remember what it is. Don't forget you can find out about the shows at PBS on their web site: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/facesofamerica/ This is the series I watched a year or 2 ago: http://www.pbs.org/aboutpbs/news/20050713_africanamericanlives.html http://www.pbs.org/wnet/aalives/dna/ And, in some of the "History Detective" shows, genealogy is discussed. Are the PBS shows shown in Canada?
