Post Videos: J.K. Rowling traces family history on BBC's Who Do You Think You Are?

As reported earlier this month, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling traced her maternal roots back to France on the programme Who Do You Think You Are? trying to find the truth about her great-grandfather, whom she believed received the legion d'honneur for his armed services.

The documentary was broadcast on Wednesday evening on BBC in the U.K., where the cameras followed Jo Rowling from Edinburgh to London, down to Paris and the French-German border to seek the truth about her French ancestors. That hour-long feature, in four segments, via sportskingtv, can be watched below. For those in the U.K., it can be viewed on BBC's iPlayer.

That was so interesting. Very moving, very inspiring. I'm so glad Jo could find some closure and some discovery as well. Seeing this has made me love her even more. I didn't think that was possible!

Loved this episode. It was so sad when she found out her great-grandfather had been put into a communal grave.

Ah this was so good. I love watching the 'Who Do You Think You Are?'s anyway but when I hard J.K.Rowling was on it I had to watch it. The programme started off a bit rocky when she found out her Great-Great-Grandfather didn't recieve the legion d'honneur but it picked up again when she found out how much he had done for France in the Franco-Prussian war.

Great show, thoroughly enjoyed it.
