Finding Your Roots

I'm a big fan of Henry Louis Gates's books, Faces of America and In Search of Our Roots, so I'm pretty excited about his new PBS show, Finding Your Roots , which picks up where the popular NBC ancestry show, Who Do You Think You Are? Actually Gates's show is far superior, going outside the realm of celebrity (though he does feature quite a few celebrities, along with some lesser known politicians and thinkers) and using DNA research, a valuable tool when records are scarce.
