Meh, we're all the same about that .... (I focus on the musical great great grandfather to the detriment of the others in my family tree ...)

I saw a couple of shows in the Australian series where they found some quite surprising information about one of Maggie Beer's ancestors. Turned out there was a bigamist in the family. In another one (actor Ben Mendelson), they hit a couple of dead ends and all of their original assumptions were wrong.
