    What is clear from watching this series is how much time and effort the Brits put in to preserving their historical records. What's important is not so much to feel all guilty about things your ancestors did but to learn and accept what they did and learn the lessons of history. In this way you would hope to not have any more wrong-uns in your family.

I think Jack's episode is actually one of the best. He represents majority of us. Not everyone is as lucky as Brooke Shields and Cindy Crawford with ancestors Lords, Knights, Kings and Queens.

    this is so interesting, I can only go back 4 generations and every single one of my ancestors was a farmer in punjab. Things only changed when my grand father's generation was conscripted to fight for the British (without pay or renumaration) 3 of my grandfather's brothers died. my maternal and paternal grandfather both made it back alive after going to Burma, Egypt and elsewhere. Not much record of it either. my maternal grandfather did lose his toe and often told my mum that Egyptian women were very beautiful.
