OT History Television

I am just too excited to not share this :-)

My family was chosen by the makers of the TV show Ancestors in the Attic and the airing of the show is today! Yay! I can't wait to see the TV version of it all, 4 of my family members took a trip to Ukraine last spring and met family they never knew they had over there, amazing stories and pictures came back with them and the show is about my grandfather and his trek to a new life in Canada.

Maybe I should make a Ukrainian themed quilt one day. My mom does needle work and there are some amazing fabrics out there.....

FANTASTIC!! I just googled the program and although it's possible to watch full episodes online there, we can't get them 'down here' :(( (I have absolutely *no* knowledge of my ancestry--not even parents--so it's really exciting to hear fascinating 'stuff' like this!)

Sidor was my Grandfather :-)

It is so neat to know more history of the family.

I forgot to ask - how did your family get involved in this? Allison

My cousin's daughter is really deeply into genealogy and she contacted the show a couple years ago. She simply wrote in with the information she had already and asked them if there was a way they could help her find out if there were living relatives in Ukraine still.

It took a long time in the making but what a wonderful journey for them all :)

I love things like this. And Meet the Ancestors...

I'd love to take part in something on these lines. My brother has uncovered plenty, especially tangled messes amonst the Robertsons!

I watched this show for the firsdt time and was very touched by both stories. It reminded me a bit of History Detectives on PBS.What a gift to remaining family members. Thank you for letting us know. Larchie

My brother is a pilot, mostly flying very large charter-type flights in

747s. A couple of months ago he was in Luxembourg, which is where our grandfather's dad (or granddad?) came from. There are entire cities of people with our surname there, although they told him he spelled it wrong (the spelling was simplified when our ancestor came to the U.S.). It would be fascinating to spend some time there!

Just be thankful that English surnames don't vary with gender as you would end up being a Woodreeve. It must complicate things - I know that in the past married Icelandic couples would have problems in hotels as they had different surnames despite being married.
