#WDYTYA with the awesome Diane Morgan. She is, of course, brilliant.

But her forebearer who had multiple illegitimate children, who took the fathers to court. 4 times? And won 4 times.

I mean, she was clearly both somewhat, erm, loose in morals. But also, not to be messed with.

Watching Fred Sirieix’s episode of Who Do You Think You Are. And there was briefly a photo with a gigantic bottle of cider in it. Which reminded me of my Dublin gg-aunt’s wedding photo. Look at the two blokes in the back. Not cider! #genealogy #familyHistory #Dublin #WDYTYA #Guinness #TV #Ireland #photography

A black and white photo of a wedding group. At the front are seated a very tall groom and his bride wearing a very 20s outfit. The groom has a young child on his lap. At the sides stand two women. And behind are two tall men holding extremely large Guinness bottles.

Watching #WDYTYA with Andrew Garfield. His origins are in Poland, and members of his family were murdered by the Nazis.

And I watch this knowing what Trump is doing NOW, along with his cronies like RFK. And it is the same.

And in decades time, people will do these shows and say that their family was murdered by the Nazis in the US camps in El Salvador.

Just watched #WDYTYA with Olly Murs. Fascinating, if quite sad, story.

Watching Paddy McGuinness’s Who Do You Think You Are, and getting very annoyed by how much they’ve totally ignored another Irish ancestral line! That popped up earlier in the research, but has been totally skipped. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ireland #WDYTYA #TV #PaddyMcGuinness

Did anyone see Who Do You Thin You Are last night, with Paddy McGuinness?

Fascinating how he knew almost nothing about his grandparents -- not even names.

But, can he talk... He never seemed to stop. :qq_043:

Who forgot to tell me 'Who Do You Think You Are' is back for a new series in the UK?

I rely on you guys! 😉

I don't really watch TV so never saw any promos for its return.

Watching Lesley Manville’s Who Do You Think You Are, and spotting many echoes of my husband’s ancestry, including long term non married couples (in his case his Cornish great great grandparents married late in life, after a first spouse died) and ancestors transported to #Australia (a g..uncle in his #Suffolk ancestry). #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #WDYTYA #LesleyManville #Cornwall #Transportation

In an online #WDYTYA Magazine article, #workhouse expert Peter Higginbotham explains what a workhouse infirmary was, who was treated there, and how to find the records in which your ancestors (or #OnePlaceStudy residents) might be found: whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.co

Lesley Manville hits the #Whodoyouthinkyouare jackpot with a trip to Australia. A prize second only to a part in Death in Paradise. #WDYTYA

Anyone on here been involved in the making, or research, of a Who Do You Think You Are?

Catching up on Chris Ramsey's #WDYTYA - turns out that Russian degree is useful after all...

Watching Chris Ramsey’s Who Do You Think You Are episode, and remembering my own great granddad’s experiences at #Gallipoli. Here’s something I wrote about it. vivsancestry.wordpress.com/201 #WDYTYA #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #WW1 #Melrose #ScottishBorders #Scotland
