Patrick Stewart I have just watched tonight's episode of Who Do Think You Are? about the actor Patrick Stewart, born at Mirfield in 1940. I don't think I have ever seen such a superb and moving programme in this entire series (and I mean all series ever since it started). Possibly Stewart being such a brilliant actor made it all the more watchable, however I thought the fact that the entire programme revolved around his search for the psychological truth about his war hero father - who was also in later life a violent wife-beater - was utterly compelling television. It just went to show that you don't have to take someone's ancestry back centuries and many generations to make family history utterly fascinating. Do listers agree? When I looked him up with Google I realised that Patrick Stewart was born just nine days after me! -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Famous family trees blog: http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/tag/roy-stockdill/ "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
