By williamsgwynfa (627 reviews) from gwaenysgor , 10 Dec 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
this dvd series is superb. I have been researching my family history and my husbands for over 10 years now, and thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
Who Do You Think You Are? 2 follows the journeys of well-known personalities as they delve into the past to explore their family trees.
You watch as they uncover their family history, and discover fascinating facts about their ancestors, that have been hidden by the passage of time.
Genealogist Nick Barratt introduces this programme, which uses highlights from the individual stories, to illustrate how to go about tracing your own family history.
Nick shows you, how to get started with your search, the value of talking to close relatives, and the importance of physical clues such as old postcards, letters and photographs.
He also demonstrates how to get the best out of the archive trail, including where to look and the information you can expect to find.
This programme is packed full of helpful tips and useful information.
The celebrities featured are Jeremy Paxman, Sheila Hancock, Stephen Fry, Julian Clary, Jane Horrocks & Gurinder Chadha.

By a customer from Newark , 17 Oct 2008fascinating series as it shows the background to celebrities and particularly when they are themselves and they share new information with the viewer about where they came from which can be emotional and a sign that they are just ordinary people really.- Was this review helpful to you?

Fantastic
By a customer from Bristol, England , 19 Oct 2007I love this series. It always amazes me that the family histories of most celebrities usually turn out to be much different from what they believe it to be. Some of them even turn out to be extremely sad, which leave you feeling somewhat sickened. I only caught the last 10 minutes of each one when it was on TV, so like the last reviewer, being able to watch it in its entirety on DVD is great.- Was this review helpful to you?

fascinating series
By Carole McClean from London,England , 04 Feb 2007I unfortunately missed this series when it was shown on TV so was excited to catch it on dvd.It was worth the wait,completely absorbing and as fascinating for me as it was for the people tracing their ancestry! Can't wait for the 3rd series and hopefully they'll re-issue the 1st dvd with the complete programs on it ,like this one, instead of just clips.- Was this review helpful to you?
