Loved that they invited 3 non celebrities. Hopefully they can do that next season 😁

Yes indeed.

Dr. Gates is an international treasure, filling in all the mysteries and "gaps" with family facts ❤ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love every episode but I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 viewers that were picked. Their stories, the emotion, and appreciation for the mysteries that were solved were really touching.

They have all these award shows on TV. He should be nominated for the NAACP award or any other award! He needs to be recognized. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I missed the original airing of this episode so I am glad I got to see this. Love the show!

Our local PBS station is on the two-weeks-later schedule. So I won't see it for a while yet.

If Americans were 1/100th as kind and forgiving as Ms Willis, this would be a much better America!

If people learned how to control their emotions and not put their hands on other people this world be a much better place!

This is simply marvelous! I recall saying to myself, about 3 or 4 seasons ago, I wonder if Dr. Gates would ever do non celebrities? How do you get picked ? I've always wanted to have this done, especially learning more about my father's side of the family. Maybe he'll consider doing a whole season of non celebrities. Good job Dr. Gates!

This was a good show last nite. I wish he could do mines!

Amazing!

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all of thy getting get understanding 😇 Proverbs 4:7

They need to expand this show to other countries. Do non-celebrities' stories as the bulk of the show.

Curious to know if you have ever used the extensive list of slaves in your research. [The name of the list escapes me at this moment.]

Do you mean the records from the Freedmens’ Bureau?

I've done both Ancestry DNA and MyHeritage DNA tests. So far, I've only found my second cousin. It seems no one I am closely related to has taken a test.

@@daisy9910 I believe some of the ethnic peoples from North Africa, bordering the Mediterranean, can be quite a mix of looks and coloring. I guess because of the thousands of years of trade, war, and inter-breeding. (What is now modern day Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya.) Such interesting ancestry!!

Henry Louis Gates U are phenomenal. You are truly what people say, you are an international treasure. I will forever adore you. U addressed the wants and needs of people like us, you are a phenomenal man! I love you, and I adore you. Please stay with us forever. I know that's much too much to ask, but I never want to lose you. To the Ancestry staff behind the scenes doing so much tedious, mind-numbing work, just know i know because I am looking for my family at this moment and i know the work u do. One could definitely say U are the force behind the scenes doing what U do, thank U! It is tedious work this staff does and now I know exactly why the fee is so costly for genealogists and how you guys may feel at the end😢 of the day after all that work, and this team of people has a schedule, so appreciated. To everyone involved just know U bring peace of mind, U bring excitement, joy, and resolution, U answer the question even when it cannot be the complete answer wanted; there is an answer, and I thank you for doing that!😘🥰Much love to U all and all that U do.😘🍾🥂⭐️🌟💫✨🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💯☝️
