Ordinary folks wouldn’t attract enough of an audience to get advertisers for the show or even cover production costs.

It may seem unfair but it is an economic fact of life.

It is to bad that Ancestry chooses celebs for this as they could well afford to do it on their own.I understand it makes better media….however those of us who have paid to belong to ancestry.com for many years and still hit brick walls over and over…we would like a break.
I do enjoy the show and would enjoy it more if ordinary people got this wonderful experience!

My parents are 8th cousins, twice removed. One brother stayed in Connecticut, and another was a founder of Newark, New Jersey. 280+ years later–here I am.

If I were watching “Who Do You Think You Are” without having searched my own ancestry, I would have been quite sceptical and thought “Sure, they are celebrities and would have an interesting background.” Once I started down the jouney of finding my great grandparents, I would have never dreamed of the “Characters” in my family. I have a 7 great grandfather cousin to President Buchanan’s father, My 5 great grandfather built a fort that Daniel Boone often visited, My 7 great grandfather was executed for being a contributor in a kings death. I have discovered potters who pottery sets in a museum in Kentucky and is very valuable among collectors. My ancestors in Kentucky are not “handsome” as in the advertisment for ancestry, but lean against a barn in dirty overalls and all heavily armed, as they were engaged in moonshining. The celebraties have nothing on my very colorful ancestors!!!
