Genealogists search for their ancestors - people long dead; but sometimes they have a need to find a living person to help with genealogy research.

Kim Cattrall on U.S. WDYTYA?
February 26, 2011, 9:42 am EST - Genealogy - Ancestor Search Blog
I watched Kim Cattrall on Who Do You Think You Are?, and found it very emotional, heartbreaking, and moving. But I noticed that this WDYTYA? show had a different feel than the other shows this season. Kim was interested in finding out what happened to her grandfather who walked out on her grandmother and three young children. Her search for her family tree stopped when she solved the mystery

Turns out that when George Washington was 16, he surveyed Tim McGraw’s ancestor,Jost Hite’s land in the Shanadoah Valley and wrote about this in his journal. It

Tim McGraw and his Palatine ancestor Jost Hite
February 15, 2011, 3:54 am EST - Genealogy - Ancestor Search Blog
After seeing the show Who Do You Think You Are? last Friday night, I realized I wanted to know more about the German Palatine ancestry of Tim McGraw. Having Palatine ancestry myself, I feel a connection to his story. I like to find out how a family’s history fits into the history of our country.

I found it interesting to hear about Tim McGraw’s German Palatine background when watching him on the TV show Who Do You Think You Are? . The historian on the TV show said that the term Palatine is what the English called the Germans, and while that is so, the Palatine is actually a specific area of Germany. See map. Having Palatine ancestors myself, I feel a connection to Tim McGraw’s
