· Bryan Cranston uncovers an ancestor’s heroic dedication during the Civil War.
· Ginnifer Goodwin, who sets out to learn about her mysterious paternal great grandparents, whom her father, regretfully, does not know much about either.
· Alfre Woodard, who strives to find out more about the paternal side of her family, and explores how her surname came to be.
· J.K. Rowling, who sets off to uncover her maternal French roots and discovers a surprising twist in an old family war story.
