Horrific stuff... have to admit I had heard of partition but knew nothing of the atrocities that happened after...

“Gangs of killers set whole villages aflame, hacking to death men and children and the aged while carrying off young women to be raped. Some British soldiers and journalists who had witnessed the Nazi death camps claimed Partition’s brutalities were worse: pregnant women had their breasts cut off and babies hacked out of their bellies; infants were found literally roasted on spits.”

I'm going to trace my ancestry back until I find a criminal event that caused my family tree to grow the way it did, resulting in me NOT being born with a silver spoon up my arse, then I'm going to sue the cunt of a government millions of pounds for letting it happen.
That's what it's all about, isn't it?

Yeah.
My grandad on my Mum's side came from an orphanage in London. My grandmother on my Mum's side has a family tree going back to the mid 18th century. Looked like they had decent enough lives.
On my Da'd side its either miners or before that itinerant farm workers. Nothing implies that life was anything but hard.

Always a good show, whomever they have on you onlyy need to go back a couple of generations and your grandparents often led really shit lives with madness and death surrounding them.
The good old days never existed except for the elite shall we say.

I saw her on It Takes Two and she has cracking pins.
Not big on family tree type things, but a lot of the stuff the uncover about people on that show is pretty amazing.

Was superb, if extremely harrowing, viewing.
It's normally quite a boring programme, but this one was very good.

I like it and obviously GENEALOGY is a big thing these days which makes it a popular show.
Assume they keep the costs down by using bbc staff.
I see Frank Gardner the bbc correspondent is related to William The Conquerer.
