The Generations Project is produced by BYU television and follows individuals as they discover their heritage. The website describes the show in this way:
Have you ever wondered why you're such a great musician? Where you get your love for politics? Why you're so independent? The answer might be found in the lives of your ancestors.
The Generations Project is a new reality series that helps those who have questions about their family history investigate their own identities by walking in the shoes of their ancestors. As they undertake these journeys, they often uncover the identities in family pasts, and come to see that in many cases the best way to know who you are is to know where you came from.
The thing I love about the show is that it is a modern take on family history. It's not looking at microfilm or filling out pedigree charts but rather takes the "contestants" to the places where their ancestors lived to gain a great understanding of life for their grandparents or great grandparents. You can watch entire episodes online.
