How they go thru documents from all over the world n track relatives for dna matching is fascinating. Thanks to some old fashioned detective work, an aunt n uncle worked years of to trace my father’s lineage to the 1600’s. What they can do now is amazing. Some come away thinking they were Italian but are really Jewish.. or vise versa. Great show
