Genealogy geeks will be happy to see that PBS has a new series coming out on Wednesday, Feb. 10. “Faces of America” with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. This time Professor Gates traces the family tress of actress Meryl Streep, political comedian/commentator Steve Colbert, actress Eva Longoria, cellist Yo Yo Ma, chef Mario Batali, and skater Kristi Yamaguchi.
It’s always interesting to see what Gates turns up through DNA and good old fashioned dilligent records searches.
More info is on the PBS website: pbs.org/facesofamerica
