PBS Genealogy Road Show

READ THIS! ---I am a producer working on a great new series for PBS called "Genealogy Roadshow." Like "Antiques Roadshow" this series will have a team of experts traveling all over the country. Instead of helping people learn the history of their family heirlooms, these experts will help people learn their own family history. We are looking for people in Detroit and the surrounding areas who believe that they may be tied to our rich American history in some way or maybe reunite families with long lost relatives and answer questions about their past, their history and their lineage. I came across your organization in my research and wanted to reach out to you in hopes that you would be willing to pass my information along to your community. Perhaps you or someone involved in your organization would be interested in our show? If so, you can email me directly at grshowcasting1@gmail.com. I am attaching a flyer with more specifics that I hope you will share with your community. One thing we all have in common is that we have a family history. We want to meet people who have questions about theirs!
