The show is apparently sponsored by GenesReunited and he did a family history spot with"UK content manager at Ancestry.com" according to
some woman called Miriam Silverman.

I thought I knew everybody in genealogy in the UK.
but, honestly, I'd never heard of her! She offered a few trite observations about how to
research your family history which any of us could have done.
Really, this is not sour grapes - she's much prettier than me to start with, but who isn't? - but I
can't help wondering where television gets these people from. I can think of at least two
dozen people who would have made a better fist of it and been more authoritative. Then
there was some chap who apparently appears on The Antiques Road Show telling someone
what their family heirlooms meant. Really, the whole thing was rather trite and meaningless.
Who Do You Think You Are? it was not. Whinge over!
