Today Show Discovering Their Roots

Today Show Discovering Their Roots Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak from Rootstelevision.com posted this message on her Facebook Page: "Way back in the Dark Ages when I first became a professional genealogist, one of the first things I had the opportunity to do was research the roots of one of the anchors of the Today Show.

The main thing is that they are making even more people aware of how important and revealing it can be to travel back in time through your own DNA. To discover some of the elements that make up who you are and how you came to be shows us how very special each and every one of us are while also showing our interconnectedness. download file now
