If you’ve never taken the time to watch “Finding Your Roots” on PBS I urge you to do so. Celebrities come sit with host Henry Louis Gates jr while he reads all the details their crack team could find about the persons ancestry.
And while they’re not always THIS interesting, they’re always worth a watch.
On this weeks show, actor Edward Norton learned “Pocahontas is indeed your 12th great grandma,” historian Gates Jr told him. His 12th great grandfather was John Rolfe. He too has a long wiki entry.
You just have to check out the episode, because that’s not the only shock!
