The Forsyth Saga
That sums up Who Do You Think You Are? tonight on Bruce Forsyth. The program was mostly about Bruce’s great-grandfather, Joseph Forsyth Johnson, who was a landscape gardener and bigamist. East Enders had nothing on him for relationships and drama. Incidentally, forsythia is named after Joseph’s father.
I didnt watch it, the show irritates me because, actually, tracing your family tree in real life is not like it is on the show! You can spend years trying to find bits of information which on the show someone finds instantly. I have back to 1600s with one of my lines, and can take the name itself back to 11th century.
