8:00 Family Tree. Benjamin Bratt narrates a 2-hour special that combines
the history and mystery of names with a genealogical search. Traveling from
ancient China to medieval Europe, from Africa to the Wild West, we search
through slavery, the Indian Wars, and the great wave of U.S. immigration. As
actor William Baldwin and "Braveheart" screenwriter Randall Wallace trace
their family trees, we learn the genealogist's tools and look to the future.
Can we move beyond written records to prehistoric times? CC [TV G]
