Published in 1990 as a continuation of Volume 1 (1981), Volume II has been

remaining supply of these books to free up storage space, and to give
"possible" consideration to a third publication. Effective January 1st 2007, the
price for Volume II dropped 50% to $25.00. Cost for shipping the book is $8.00.
Books may be purchased at each of the three libraries in Stokes County -
Danbury, Walnut Cove & King - for the discounted price of $25.00. Mail orders

Stock up on the popcorn and get ready for the new NBC hit show “Who Do
You Think You Are?” The family history-focused series will lead seven
celebrities on a heart-warming journey back in time as they discover more
about the ancestors who came before them. Lisa Kudrow, who executive
produced the show will be featured in the episodes, along with Sarah Jessica
Parker, Spike Lee, Matthew Broderick, Susan Sarandon, Emmitt Smith,
and Brooke Shields. Ancestry.com is a partner with NBC on the show.

The idea for “Who Do You Think You Are?” originated from a show that
has been phenomenally successful in the UK for several years. Since the
show aired in 2004, the UK has seen a surge of interest in family history,
and we hope and expect the same reaction from “Who Do You Think You
Are?” in the United States.

Typically, celebrities play the role of someone else, however in this show
they play no one but themselves. Because of this, “Who Do You Think You
Are?” really shows the human side of these individuals, who experience a
myriad of emotions as they learn their family history. Viewers can’t help but
feel inspired and intrigued as they watch the episodes. Naturally, the show
will lead viewers to begin thinking about and asking questions around their
own family history.

What is wonderful about the show is that, with the celebrity appeal, the
genuine emotion they experience, and the family storytelling nature of the
show, “Who Do You Think You Are?” is perfectly poised to appeal to the
masses – not just professional genealogists or family history experts.

Tune into NBC Fridays 8/7c beginning March 5. For more information

The potential is great! You and your friends have an important role in
making “Who Do You Think You Are?” the next biggest family history
phenomenon since Roots!
