Follow a diverse cast of participants on an emotional journey that uses history and science to uncover their fascinating family stories. Each individual’s past will link to a larger community history, revealing the rich cultural tapestry of America. Season 3 of GENEALOGY ROADSHOW features participants from six American cities—Albuquerque (May 17), Miami (May 24), Houston (May 31), Boston (June 14), Providence (June 21) and Los Angeles (June 28)—who want to explore a genealogical mystery.

"Our Favorite Stories" - Genealogists Joshua Taylor, Kenyatta Berry and Mary Tedesco revisit their favorite stories from previous seasons, and three memorable guests return to share what has happened since their appearances. Tedesco reconnects with a man whose elderly mother received the gift of a lifetime when she learned about the family she never knew, while Taylor catches up with a woman whose reunion with a cousin has reshaped her life. Finally, Berry hears how the revelation of a mother’s identity has extended the branches of a mystery writer’s family tree. GENEALOGY ROADSHOW was produced by Krasnow Productions.
