I have had the distinct pleasure to assist the TV show, Finding Your Roots hosted by Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on a number of episodes.  The two I can mention are the Terry Crews and Julia Roberts episodes.  It was a pleasure researching Terry’s paternal line who were residents of south Georgia and discovering the information about his father and grandfather who were not really a part of his life.  I later worked on researching Julia Roberts’ paternal line and learned that one of her ancestors was not truly a Roberts since his alleged father died during the Civil War, several years before he was born.
