I watched last night's episode on Katherine Ryan's family tree, and it got me thinking how come these celebrities all seem to have a long and interesting family tree?
Every venue they visit seem to keep a long and ancient documented history of their families.
Can it all be for real or is it specially put together for our entertainment?

Well for a few generations all you really need is to sit at a PC and check the BMD certificates. Back further is more of a pain, but if you find a relative who has already done research that can speed things up. Probably not a massive amount of investigation before zeroing in on likely programme celebs to check further back.
they get an offool lot of info and it is honed down
if the celeb wont play, they do the - what-it-was-like-to-live-in-his-street bit
Lawrence Lleellelybn Bowen said no thanks ( and shook his pretty curls)[ nay - tossed his coiffed long locks] when they had done a lot on Aunt Kittys lost inheritance. look! here now and bloop! gone!
had she lost it, had it been plucked from her bazoom, or had she sold it ?
whilst the arteest was tossing his curls there was a quick frame on the case so I looked it up ( Chancery 1853). Kitty had a jointure which the husband said was his and tried to sell ! ( it was gonna be a will-be jointure - she stood in line to inherit)
the chancery court said no it isnt yours to sell
and hubby said "yes it is, all hers is mine, by current victorian property law so sell I will !" The requisist chancery rule is given.
it goes to someone else - and Kitty spends the next 60 y regretting the loss of her fortune - hers! - it was hers and no someone elses!
