I don’t know why this show bothers going back that far. Do you know how many 19 times great grand parents we all have? Half the population are probably related to royalty if you go back far enough.
I’m actually descended from Adam and Eve.
Because whether you go back a couple of generations or 19 it can be a very interesting story – the long and winding road.
