San Francisco FULL EPISODE | Genealogy Roadshow Season 1 | PBS America

I wish that this show were still on PBS. It would be the perfect show to go hand in hand with “Finding Your Roots”.

PBS please bring this wonderful show back to your network. It would be a great show to pair with Henry Gates programs.

This show has that "Who Do You Think You Are" discovery element but for regular people instead of celebrities.

I too am a 4th generation San Franciscan. My Irish maternal great grandmother married Captain Carroll who fought in the Fire Department 🚒 1906 fire 🔥

The young lady who story of Irish roots among the earthquake victims, looking at the photograph she looks so much like her great-grandmother! 💖

The walking stick story brought tears to my eyes. How cool that he has it!

I remember submitting an application to be a guest for season 3. Although not selected, I was hoping to be a future guest to learn more of my family history... and then they canceled the show. I wish they would bring it back

Pbs bring this show back its amazing

My 5th great grandfather James Reed, of the Donner/ Reed party. Sutters Fort of Sacramento. I have the diary 's passed down generations to me of their journey across ❤.

What a wonderful show. I can only imagine the overhead it took to uncover the stories for just common people; if it were celebrities it would still be going.

I can relate to those who get family stories shot down after research proves otherwise. One of the few stores we had about my dad’s mother’s side was that a 6th great granduncle was Alexander Hamilton. My aunt told me that when I was a little kid in the early 1970s and had no idea who Hamilton was. Well, after starting my own family research, I found out that I do have a 6th great granduncle named Alexander Hamilton! Problem is, mine was born 20 years after the famous one and in Pennsylvania, not the Caribbean. That was a big disappointment to my dad and uncle, since they had heard that story a lot longer than I had.

I end up crying every episode! I love these stories.

I am a native San Fransican my Grandmother Ruth survived the 1906 quake and fire. Her father was one of the special police appointed after the quake His name was Charles Mahnke.

I enjoy genealogy, live in San Francisco and worked for the local PBS station for many years. For those reasons I decided to watch this episode. Imagine my surprise when Casey Robbins appeared asking about her biological father’s connection to Ben Franklin. I’ve known her mother for decades!

This shows that even ordinary people can have very interesting stories.

I wish I could do something like this. So many unanswered questions about my families ancestry. No one ever talked about our ancestors.

It’s really wonderful to hear all the interesting stories from our past — how all our shared stories have heroes and villains, and they may be one in the same depending on who is telling the story. We all have a piece and a place in our American story and we should only want to add to this rich and complex history.

Can we GET MORE !!! If so where we can we watch ? We got hooked on WHO DO U THINK U ARE. . They shut it down Currently watching FINDING MY ROOTS and hooked And now I see a few episodes on YT and someone said these are the only episodes we can watch Come on now bring all the ancestry shows PLEASE

Yes, please bring this show back PBS
