Who Do You Think You Are?

Do some of you remember a while ago when Joseph had a big business trip to Hollywood, California that we couldn't share any details about? Well...now we can finally tell you. Joseph's company, ProGenealogists, was hired by the producers of NBC and Ancestry.com (a co-sponsor) to do research for the upcoming show Who Do You Think You Are? The show will premier on March 5th, 6:00 p.m. MST. This is HUGE!!! I've been dying to share the news with everyone for ages, but, of course, Joseph was under a strict contract that he wouldn't "let the cat out of the bag." Joseph's company got to research the genealogy of the 7 actor's that will be on the show. Joseph's boss even got to fly out to Cincinnati to be in one of the episodes with Sarah Jessica Parker! Joseph was primarily involved in working on the episodes for Emmit Smith, Brooke Shields, and Spike Lee. In fact, Joseph uncovered a REALLY cool slave ancestor story that will be part of the Emmit Smith episode. Joseph's company will be building sites for each of the episodes that will give behind-the-scene highlights. I'll be posting links to each site after each episode. Check out the video below for the trailer. We are SO excited about this!!! This show has actually been one of the number one TV series in the UK for the past several years.

Mark came home last week telling me about this show. They even got an email about it through work (through the Church). I pulled up your blog today and showed him that Joseph worked on some of it. He thought that was so cool! We are definitely going to watch it! :)
