Presented by the ever popular Chris Hollins, ‘Find My Past’ is a major genealogical, ten part series for the Yesterday Channel: three ordinary people find out how they are linked to one iconic moment in British history through their ancestors.
This format gives us a fresh insight into Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, Titanic, Jack the Ripper, amongst others, as each of the contributors goes on a journey of discovery to find out the role their relative played in one of these well known-events.
Then the three descendants meet together for the first time to discover how they are linked, be it that their relatives served in the same Spitfire Squadron in the summer of 1940 or were rescued by the same lifeboat after the sinking of the Titanic.
This very personal approach breathes new life into these remarkable stories.
