Who do You Think You Are is one of my favorite shows! I wish the average Joe would have all that "extra" help if they'd go to all those libraries and county offices, etc. My family is aware that our grandfather was orphaned at age 2 and lived with another family (whose name we have). But when we found the adoption papers a few years ago we saw that they adopted him at age 17 1/2. We wonder why, or for what reason would they wait for until he was almost an adult?

"I saw where Reba said some of what she found out was disturbing, and she had to do some soul searching. What was that about?" I don't recall exactly to what she was referring, although I do remember her making that statement. It might have been the fact that her 4x great-grandfather George Brasfield was a slave trader. Also, Reba wanted to find out which of her ancestors was the first to set foot on American soil. Her research found that her 6x great-grandfather, also named George Brasfield, arrived in the USA at the age of nine, and he was an indentured servant. She found out that he had made the journey without any other family at all. She couldn't imagine why anyone would send their child, alone, on a journey would took several months, to end up in another country. Reba was upset with her ancestors for having sent their child on such a journey alone at that age. She ended up finding out that young George's mother, Abigail, had died, and in those days it was very difficult for a man to raise a child alone. So, George's father, Thomas, sent him to the States. Apparently it was sort of common in situations like this for a parent to send a child to the US, in the hope of the child eventually having a better life than would have it they had stayed back in England.

I'm not a DWTS or Bachelor fan but, I would have loved to have seen them have the girl who lost on as one of the women if they were going to have Jake as a contestant. (Just my perverse sense of humor) I'm one of those flip around the dial people so I catch snippets of a lot of shows. I did catch a glimpse of Mrs. Buz and am glad someone else agrees about all the work she's had done. I also think Buz has had some work done although not as much.

Got my dvr set.
