This 4 part PBS series attempts to trace the roots of 8 guests using genealogy, oral history, family stories, and DNA analysis.

Absolutely brilliant...you really never know where your relatives are from until you are tested!

This was a great series--great scientifically and great &quot;sociology&quot;. A number of prominent African Americans undergo historical research, genealogy research, recollections and DNA testing to understand the origins of each&#39;s own family. With slavery disrupting all social bonds and separation of the young from their parents, many peoples experiencing slavery and servitude in their past genuinely don&#39;t know &quot;where I am from&quot;. The DNA testing is very extensive--not the usual $99 special that testing companies offer. In this PBS special they do maternal and paternal line tracing, and also population features--and EXPLAINED everything. This was really very cool without the silly horror music and making science seem tricky just to give it &quot;mystery&quot;, so everything was very straightforward. Highly recommended--best science documentary since the COSMOS seriously.
