St. Louis - Union Station FULL EPISODE | Genealogy Roadshow Season 1 | PBS America 

This is amazing! We need this kind of history show back on the air!

Great episode. I too loved the grandma who finally found out where she came from. Dirty laundry or no, she was just thrilled her mom found love and she was born. Great lady!

I could watch this show for hours on end! Love it! Thank you so much for the full episode!

Emma Belle Musgrave was the SWEETEST Story. What a beautiful personality she has (as well as her son has). Really enjoyed watching them learn of their family.!

I wish they'd bring this show back. I've always loved it. My family was able to get back to the 1600's in England to Sir Francis Drake. But we are majority French from my fathers side and my mother is full German as our ancestors came here from Prussia. That tiny bit of British is from my father's mother, as she was mostly French. Genealogy is fascinating.

What a great episode! I wish that this show was still being produced. I love family history. Connecting with one’s ancestors is vital to understanding who you as a person are.

16:10 When they get to Jacques Remy (1672-1738) and further up they literally just showed my entire family tree to my on that side of my family. Im literally stunned that my distant cousin was on this show!

Union Station looks sort of like a castle. Love the history.

Several of the family histories made me tear up. I hope all the families find answers and peace.

That mom made my whole day!!!

Oh my that elderly woman with dementia just made me giggle. She loves life and doesn’t care about the dirty laundry and embraced it.

Wow! Each person profiled had an amazing family history/story, which has the same current human behaviors we all see & live with. Great episode!! Thank you!!

I never new that there was a genealogy roadshow n I absolutely loved watching this episode. I’ve always wanted to know my family history but unfortunately I can’t afford to find this out. ♥️

I’m so upset I missed this in person!

My 8th great grandfather was Governor John Endicott the first Governor of MASSACHUSETTS bay Colony around 1620. He was also the first person to bring. The pear tree to AmericaThe original tree is still living. The entire story is on RU-vid.

I’m so happy to see an new video! I enjoy this series so much!

So many stories of all of us, who had family come to America in various ways, some good, some bad, but without their struggles, we would not be here. Life isn’t fair, but all of our ancestors overcame adversity of all types to ensure their descendants right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That makes us all connected in so many ways we can’t even fathom. ❤

Wonderful episode! The jazz song brought tears to my eyes! Powerful.

I think this would be such a kinder nation we all knew where and who we came from. Even those who think they came from junk, go back far enough and there is treasure in all family trees.

Wow! 17:20 I can trace my French ancestry back to Hubertus de la Feld in 1066,fighting alongside William the Conqueror, but WOW, this gentleman can trace back another 500-600 years earlier! That's incredibly rare because family names weren't widely used in that region before the 11th century, not to mention how often church fires destroyed the key documents.

The orphaned children, my heart 😢. Ms. Roberts sounds as great as Roberta Flack ❤

The old lady was so happy and funny so joyful to see her family history and her laugh Musgrave

Everyone has a story. Happy their found theirs. Being descended from St. Remy was something pretty special in my view anyway. What a birth date 427! Few can reach that far back. How fabulous. 💖💫🙏🦋🌱🌎

This show is new to me . MORE of this instead of more “ movie stars “

Fantastic stories.

Loved this episode! I’m also related to the Donner party vía The Backensto family. Virginia Backensto Murphy Reed.

I wish I knew about this show before. I see they came to Saint Louis 😢

good episode

As an adoptee thats all I wanted to know was who i was and where did i come from...😊

35:12 What an incredible story!!! They should be so proud. This would be a great story to make into a movie.

The white guy finding out he’s just white 😂. That was the highlight of this show lol

The Mom and son are lovey!

Donner party left Springfield, Illinois on April 14, 1846

I wonder if the first Busalacchi on Sardinia was from Crete. Many Cretan surnames end in lakis.

42:21 Thats alright with me!!😊

I've found relatives on my father's side from the Netherlands (36% Dutch, 14% Danish and Swedish.) going back to the mid 1500s on Ancestry. My 50% Irish mother is a different story. With no official census until the 1900s, it's hard to go back. There's too many Burkes, Brady, and Murphys! 😂

The waters name was one of my so many great grandmother's in Virginia. I am also total European.

The "crest" you investigate is not a crest. It's a coat of arms. There is no crest shown in the painting. Makes me wonder how much of the other information is wrong.

The Geneology expert at the beginning looks like Will Wheaton (Wesley Crusher) all grown up.

There should be a concerted effort to digitize historical records such as those in Italy. If those buildings burnt down, they'd be lost forever, besides just going "missing".

Wonderful!

My dad and I did our DNA a few years ago and we came back 93% & 83% Eastern European (Polish) and we were able to find the village in Poland my dad's side decended from. We already knew that my mom's side is directly descendants from Poland as well. The geniology lady told my dad she's never seen those numbers before. My dad said there was scandal when his Polish grandmother kept going to Poland and bringing men back to New York. After they died, she'd go get another one. (confirmed with census record). He also said there was an Uncle of his involved with the Nazis but we can't find that evidence. DNA is WILD. We are so advanced but continue to lose the stories of our ancestors. 😢

Racism also factored in the tragedy, in that they rejected any assistance from the local Native American tribe; indeed, they proposed shooting, killing, and eating them. After the tribal members found out about THAT idea, they left the pioneers to their fates.

The only thing you got wrong was the Donner party wasn't in 1864 it was in 1846

Hello Missouri! You're a shy 3.5 yrs from me geogrshocking

I believe they left in 1846. Not 1864. I know this because they were coming into California which was still Mexican territory at the time.

I adore Emma Dasenbrock. What an incredible lady!

How does one get on this program? My Great-great grandmother may had come to America on her deceased little sister's papers.I lack the tools to find the truth.

Is this a new episode or a repeat? Is joining the DAR still a thing??

Bro was so white his records went back to 500 AD 😅

My family is from termini Imerese!

I can't find any indication that Saint Remy had any children, in which case he cannot have had any direct descendants. If someone has a source to suggest that he did have children, please reply.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I wanna know if I'm related to Joshua Taylor!

33:44 idk how legit that is. Theresa article that says "Self Taught Pianist, 11, On VIDEO"? How is it "Video" 90yrs before video was invented? magic?

I would have loved to research my husband family. From what I understand they are some how related to Abe Lincoln. His grandma was Lena Lillian Lincoln

Is the emergency eye wash station's water being supplied by the unfiltered water from Otter Creek? Would anyone not want to think twice before they decide to wash their eyes with that water?

13 April 2009

Do me! Do mine! Please do my name? Confair

If anyone is checking comments here, when are you coming to Nevada or close to Nevada?? We are trying to find my husbands parents, he was adopted as a baby and the birth certificate is wrong, no actual birth in that hospital on that day and time for him, his adoptive parents are listed as parents. So we don’t know where to go. Can anyone help??

My father is a Donner

Did they find the uncle for the older lady with dementia?

1846 or 1864?? 😂❤🎉

Loved this show. I prefer it to Finding Your Roots for the following reasons. First, they delve into the ancestry of regular people, not celebrities. Second, they don't go to great lengths to connect their ancestry to slavery. I have a great deal of respect for Henry Louis Gates Jr., but it's like he goes out of his way bring up slavery whenever he can, given that the majority of his guests are African-American. Even when the guests are Caucasian, it seems he intentionally tries to tie their ancestors to being slaveholders. It's a shameful period of our history to be sure, but I really don't see any value in bringing it up and beating society over the head with it every chance he gets.

I left at 44 mins. No future or further offspring, but feels entitled to find her past.

My late best friend's maiden name was Remy.

Jemery they also need to change the office , with a plexiglass window (for safty) to open that up to see ho in the libary make it safer for the clerk and citizens. Let me know what you tthink.😊❤

There are not different races of people on this earth. We all came from Adam and Eve from genesis in the Bible. It was during the Tower of Babel that the color of skin was changed. But we are all one people
