Emma Willis explores how far her ancestry connects to Birmingham!

Presenter Emma Willis grew up in Birmingham and loves the city and her fellow Brummies. She wants to find out how deep her roots are there.
Further afield, an interfaith marriage in Ireland leads Emma down two very different paths. Violent events force her to confront disturbing truths about one ancestor, while the hard graft and determination of another lead Emma to draw parallels with her own life.

I have to agree with her about not really appreciating your forebearers, until you are older.

[@Oishionna]

Oh wow, an ancestor on mine was also a horn and hair merchant in Birmingham.

Her father (2:00) looks so much like his maternal grandfather Martin Gebhard (2:05), like they were twins!

So the "English and foreign sizes" are different kinds of glue?

What is a gaffer?

[@joannedoe2149]

A gaffer is slang for a boss and a grafter is slang for someone who works hard

[@tweerden]

2:50 PLEASE as a genealogist/DNA detective (from Nederland) I please ask you to use the woman’s own surname. Not their married name, which is quite useless.

Good Lord, I hope she's having kids.

[@deckarinnan]
