Sally Magnusson presents the series exploring the practice of researching family history. Sally and resident genealogist Nick Barratt explore family roots in India. Sam Merry's Indian great-grandmother was disowned by her family when she married a British soldier. Moving with him to Nottinghamshire, she never spoke of her homeland again. Now, more than a 100 years later, Sam wants to trace his family's Indian roots, and wonders what his ancestor's new life in Mansfield would have been like.
