I just LOVED Christina Applegate's episode tonight. I thought it was really interesting and a really good mystery she was able to solve. And what a beautiful ending with the monument for his mom. Sad though, that she died so young, and from the cause of death, apparently his dad was right about the mom...one of the better episodes I've seen, and truly memorable.
I love this show. As the family genealogist, I watch for helpful tips. Having said that, I am really disappointed that there are no people of color on the show this season.
I watched the Christina Applegate episode tonight and it was touching to know there was a good reason why her father's mother didn't raise him and that she didn't die a violent death. It was sad though to find out that she was an alchoholic.
I watched this show for the first time and found it very interesting. I have never been interested in genealogy--my family has lived in the same town in Italy for hundreds of years (although no doubt there are always surprises). I was fascinated to learn about the U.S Census and that things like weeks out of work and highest education level was recorded. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Was anyone else curious about what had happened to the mother's sister Delilah? She also died at a young age. I wonder if that family just fell on hard times during the Depression or if there was more to it? And where was their mother buried (dad and two sisters were in the same plot)?
Actually, Lavina and her sister Delilah are buried next to their father, Ovid Shaw. There is now a nice gravestone with the inscription "Mom, I found you." From the site Find A Grave: Lavina Victorine Shaw Walton (1921 - 1955) - Find A Grave Memorial
Does anyone know, are new episodes being produced? I saw this episode some time ago...had forgotten a lot, so I watched it again on the website.

Christina Applegate's dad had that stone built after Christina found out what happened to his mom and how she died for her episode of WDYTYA, which aired July 30th.
This is a new season with all new profiles. NBC had this show but cancelled it. TLC picked it up after a year and so far, there have been two new profiles: Kelly Clarkson and Christina Applegate. Next up is Chelsea Handler. Others this season are Chris O'Donnell (NCIS-LA), Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory), Zoey Deschanel, Trisha Yearwood, and Cindy Crawford.
This link has all three previous seasons, and the celebrities profiled. They were all wonderful!
Oh yes, I got that part. I was curious about where Lavina and Delilah's mom (also named Lavina) was buried. I know she died a little earlier--it sounded like her death in 1946 is what may have prompted Robert getting turned over to his paternal grandparents. I just thought it was strange/sad that they were not all together.

There is a new season starting July 23 with Valerie Bertinelli, Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Graham, Cynthia Nixon, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Rachel McAdams with her sister Kayleen. It's at 9/8 p.m. on TLC.
So no longer is it going to be on NBC now it will be on TLC? ok kool. I also wish there were more people of color or even latinos etc. I find these things interesting.
