Felicity Huffman was featured this winter on Finding Your Roots, with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. As a professor, I wonder what he's thinking about her now, in light of the college admissions scandal. I'd like to go back and watch that episode, because if I'm recalling correctly, she had a troubled relationship with her own mother, who casually told her one day that she was the product of an extramarital affair. And, she felt her mother didn't handle that very well. Multi-generational parenting issues, yikes.

My brother has forbidden anyone in the family to get their ancestry done.
I’ve asked him “Why? Have you committed a crime and if I get my ancestry done, do you think the police will have a link to catch you? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? ARE YOU GOING TO PRISON?”
Cracks me up every time.

I can't possibly be the only one who's wondering why your brother's so paranoid!!
Can't wait until October 8th!

Has anyone heard anything about a new chapter of WDYTYA? being broadcast? I realize that it would be hard, what with the world closed for repairs, but it's my understanding that a lot of people are using this time to work on their genealogy.

Yay!! I love this show! I will admit that some of the more recent guests are not as well-known to me, but I'm a little out of when it comes to recently famous/young celebrities.

I did a bit of research into my family and I think I've worked out my % of heritage that I know of, but I'd love to get a genetic test and see how much I'm right lol.
Has anyone done DNA testing?

I sent in a 23andme kit a few weeks back. Haven't gotten the results yet. No medical info available here anymore.

I have to admit that I missed most of last season's episodes. Tonight's was great, even though a little painful. At least Ginnifer didn't try to cover up her ancestors like Ben Affleck!

JK's episode is on YouTube - it was originally aired on the BBC series of the show, so if you want the narration in a British accent, go for it
