I have chosen to travel back in time through my own DNA while researching what was happening in the world around my ancestors as the events in their lives were revealed to me. The first date I have proof of was in 1749 during the founding of Halifax, Nova Scotia. "The Search For Peter Martin" has unearthed some very interesting facts about living as an immigrant at the beginning of a country and why his grave along with his death records have been "lost" all these years...until now?
"By Her Roots" - Part 2
"The Search For a Rebel"
In Pre-production (Ireland)
The arrival in Nova Scotia of Wexford Ireland ancestors during 1799-1800, right after the 1798 rebellion, has taken me to the 'Rebellion Papers" and the trial of William Johnson.... is he my William Johnson?
"By Her Roots" - Part 3
"Royal Grandmothers"
In Pre-production (France and England)
Alannah convinced Kay to get her documented family history out of storage and could hardly contain her excitement when there in her family trees were over a thousand years of lineage going back through the royal lines and especially that of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Kay had never seen that part of her lineage or had any idea of the connection she had to the mother of Richard the LionHeart and one of the most infamous women in history. Alannah is taking Kay to France to visit the Plantagent castles and to England where Henry II locked up his uncontrollable wife for 15 years. Kay is looking forward to learning about this incredible ancestor.
