Genealogy Casting Call

Friday December 10, 2004
Are you one of those people who loves digging into history's mysteries? Do you sometimes wish you had been born a century (or two or three) earlier? Do you get excited at the prospect of a cemetery visit or learning the real truth about mysterious great-aunt Tillie? Do your special talents include the ability to read a foreign language or old-style handwriting, find just about anything on the Internet, or explain why you should always be a little suspicious of details found on a death certificate? Or are you a professional actor (non-union, please) who can "play nice" with obsessed roots-seekers? If so, the producers of a new family history sleuthing series want to hear from you - especially if you've ever been described as charismatic, flamboyant, quirky, opinionated or eccentric!

Auditions for the joint US-Canadian venture will be held in three locations to find a host and on-camera regulars for a new family history sleuthing television series. Interest and/or experience in genealogy a definite plus! Auditions will be held by appointment in January and February 2005 in the following areas:

Provo and Salt Lake City, Utah: January 10-14, 2005
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: January 31 – February 2, 2005
Toronto, Ontario: February 3–5, 2005

For more information and to submit a preliminary application, view the press release at Honoring Our Ancestors. All submissions must be received no later than January 6, 2005.
