    I love every episode but I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 viewers that were picked. Their stories, the emotion, and appreciation for the mysteries that were solved were really touching.

    This is simply marvelous! I recall saying to myself, about 3 or 4 seasons ago, I wonder if Dr. Gates would ever do non celebrities? How do you get picked ? I've always wanted to have this done, especially learning more about my father's side of the family. Maybe he'll consider doing a whole season of non celebrities. Good job Dr. Gates!

    They need to expand this show to other countries. Do non-celebrities' stories as the bulk of the show.

    I've done both Ancestry DNA and MyHeritage DNA tests. So far, I've only found my second cousin. It seems no one I am closely related to has taken a test.

      @@daisy9910 I believe some of the ethnic peoples from North Africa, bordering the Mediterranean, can be quite a mix of looks and coloring. I guess because of the thousands of years of trade, war, and inter-breeding. (What is now modern day Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya.) Such interesting ancestry!!

    Henry Louis Gates U are phenomenal. You are truly what people say, you are an international treasure. I will forever adore you.
    U addressed the wants and needs of people like us, you are a phenomenal man! I love you, and I adore you. Please stay with us forever. I know that's much too much to ask, but I never want to lose you. To the Ancestry staff behind the scenes doing so much tedious, mind-numbing work, just know i know because I am looking for my family at this moment and i know the work u do. One could definitely say U are the force behind the scenes doing what U do, thank U! It is tedious work this staff does and now I know exactly why the fee is so costly for genealogists and how you guys may feel at the end😢 of the day after all that work, and this team of people has a schedule, so appreciated. To everyone involved just know U bring peace of mind, U bring excitement, joy, and resolution, U answer the question even when it cannot be the complete answer wanted; there is an answer, and I thank you for doing that!😘🥰Much love to U all and all that U do.😘🍾🥂⭐️🌟💫✨🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💯☝️
