I am a huge fan of the Who Do You Think You Are? series that was recently canceled by NBC. However, before I was a fan of the NBC show, I was a fan of the British version. It happened for me just like Lisa Kudrow, who saw the British version and fell in love. I’ve been very lucky to be able to view the British version of the show and I’m now here with my top five Who Do You Think You Are? moments. I want the American audience to know exactly what the charm is about the British version. It didn’t matter that I had no idea who 80% of the celebrities were throughout the seasons (or series if you use British terms).

With all my heart, I really wish this show would come to BBC America so that Americans would at least be able to see this really charming, intelligent program. These are in the order that they aired, not in any rank.

I was catching up in Google Reader earlier today and I noticed that Randy Seaver is having the SNGF Genealympics. It all sounds like a lot of fun to me, so I thought I might see how much of it I can fit in. I’ve had a little bit of a break from my Family File Cleanup  recently (notice I have a category now! I just have to go back and fill it. haha.), so I thought this would be a fun way to motivate myself again! Much like the rest of my blogging, I don’t intend to be super serious about this fun project. I think it’s just an awesome motivator to link in with my current Olympic spirit!

My basic goal is to “compete” in as many of the events that Randy posts and the events that were posted during the 2008 GeneaBlogger Group Games.

Today I’m going to try a few of the events:
