Production is currently underway on "The Genealogy Roadshow," a new 4 x 52 minute format from Big Mountain Productions which aims to uncover the extraordinary family histories of ordinary people. The series is set to shoot in Kildare, Meath, Limerick and Galway in May and June and is presented by Derek Mooney.
The show will enlist the help of a historical and genealogical swat team in a bid to reveal the historical origins of members of the public. Several stories from a range of ordinary people will be featured and investigated on each episode following which a team of experts will determine whether the interviewees are related to famous historical figures or if they have any close connections to celebrated Irish historical events. The experts will also look to give audience members advice on how to track down a family history.
