Genealogists uncover fascinating family stories at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia - Historical Society of Pennsylvania Genealogy Roadshow

Premiered February 17, 2015

One woman’s ancestor may have sparked historic labor laws; a pastor may have an outlaw in her family tree; a woman learns about slave genealogy and – with the help of DNA testing – gets the answer she has waited for; and another woman learns her ancestor may have helped others escape the Holocaust.
