I enjoyed the show, but would like to see everyday people. Some of the ones that seem to be lacking in basic history about endentured servents, soldiers for hire from Europe in the Rev. War and why they would stay here. Some of the stories from the South included slave owners and the surprise of the "star" was almost laughable. If you family is from the south in the time of slavery you have a good chance of slaves being in the picture.

It was a nice show, but it might have been more interesting if they did it as a kind of Reality TV Show with regular people.
