Tracing Your Roots - Series 4 - Myths and Truths

Sally Magnusson presents the series exploring the practice of researching family history, with the help of resident genealogist Nick Barratt. Lucille White has been trying to get to the bottom of a family that her great, great-grandmother may have been the illegitimate daughter of Louis XVI, but stories handed down from one generation to the next are often history as the teller would like it to have been, not as it really was. Birth, marriage and death certificates may not tell the whole story, so Sally and Nick investigate how to widen the search in order to disentangle myth from truth.
