- Megan Robertson embarks on a poignant quest to demystify the lineage of her great-grandfather, Green Church, who was believed to have been adopted early in his life. Originating from a longstanding curiosity fueled by fragmented family lore, Megan's journey leads her to the discovery that instead of an adoptive family, Green was actually raised by his grandparents alongside his brother Rufus Church in North Carolina.

Just streamed the entire episode on my local PBS station. PLEASE do more of these. Not to downplay celebrities, but these are people who have been looking for these answers for a long time.
We LOVED this episode! It’s great to see non-celebrities on the show. These women were wonderfully thoughtful and interesting. Please do more show like this.
this is fantastic. thank you for listening to the viewers and including some of us in this.
My favourite episode to date. Much prefer “ordinary” people to celebrities.
I think she might be my distant cousin. My maternal grandpa was James Lawrence Church, also from the Ashe, NC area.
how do other viewers get involved in this
They did a casting call early last year. They may do that again for S11.
I love this show! Ten episodes is too short a season! 😢
Green. Green? Why on earth would you call your baby Green? How very odd.
Megan's ancestor's story and the possibility that Caroline had two children before marrying and moving to Virginia rings true. This happened to my maternal grandmother. She had three children by my maternal grandfather but he deserted her during the Great Depression. She went on to have two children with another man but he gave her an ultimatum. She could have a life with him and their two kids but she had to leave the older ones.
Unfortunately it led to her having a nervous breakdown and no one won.
I think this woman may be a distant cousin of mine. I also descend from Halseys, and it's my understanding that all the Halseys in the US descend from Thomas Halsey, one of the founders of Southampton, New York.
Who here was wondering if they would match any of the celebrities who been on the show?
Can anybody just pay for the research results but just not be on tv? Lol
I agree to more of these Finding your Roots like regular people I would like to say for myself, I have been trying to trace my Roots on my Granddad and Grandmother side in which I only know a little. Some people seem to tell me about my last name all the time
We need another casting call.
My Maternal Grandparents came from Czechoslovakia in the early 1930s. We were always told that we weren't Jewish, but one day in the late 1990s, I ran into a man from there, who told me that Vlchek was a very Jewish name, where he comes from. How could I find out the truth of this ? We were also always told that on my father's side, there was a native American connection, but from some of the details, I find this eronious. So many quesitons, how to find them out.
I would suggest a DNA test to see if you have Jewish DNA in your family tree. The same goes for your possible Indigenous roots.
Very common for European Jews to hide their true identities,even from family members.
My dad had an Uncle Green in Oklahoma. I guess he was an awesome football player. I always wondered if it was a nickname, but maybe not..
It is nice to see non celebrities on the show. The show has a lot of celebrities and all from one side of the political aisle.
