Now is your chance to submit your stories to the team at Genealogy Roadshow as preparations for Season 2 are underway. Can’t decide which question to ask? Here are a few completely unofficial, unauthorized, “insider tips” for submitting a story to Genealogy Roadshow:

  • Ask a succinct question or share a mystery rather than a long series of long-standing genealogical brickwalls.
  • It doesn’t matter how famous, wealthy, or prominent your ancestors were. Genealogy Roadshow is all about uncovering the past of everyday Americans, like you and I.
  • Submit a picture or two, they truly can tell a thousand words. Anything that adds life to the story helps someone engage.
  • Be prepared for what might be uncovered.  You never know what lurks in the archives about your family.
  • Don’t hold back. We all have one or two mysteries in our family tree. Your ancestor didn’t have to come to America on the Mayflower, be related to a U.S. President, or have a long-distance connection to royalty to be a fascinating story for Genealogy Roadshow.
