Set your DVRs! On April 22nd, “Finding Your Roots” will dip into Robert Downey Jr’s past to reveal some information about his family. Along with RDJ, the sixth episode of the series will feature Maggie Gyllenhaal. The hour-long show will air on PBS at 7pm. For more information, visit the official site, or read a summary below:

Many American descend from a dense soups of European ethnicities; we could call them mutts, with ancestral roots across every country in Europe. Actors Robert Downey, Jr. and Maggie Gyllenhaal are textbook examples of Americans with a rich tapestry of European immigrant stories making up their family trees. We delve in to their deep American roots in early colonial communities, and we meet their Eastern European Jewish ancestors, who share almost identical migration stories From the Mayflower to Ellis Island, we journey through centuries of immigration that shaped and built our melting pot nation.

We have a new layout! It was created by the wonderful Night and Day Designs. I hope you like it as much as I do!
