How did you feel seeing pictures of your ancestors for the first time?

"Do you see any resemblance to your mother?" Dude you could've told me that was him in a period costume and I've had bought it lol

[sarahwestling]

"Dirty pots and pans!" What a great exclamation!

[brynwest]

Shoutout to the social media manager/coordinator for responding to all these comments.

Crazy to see the facial resemblances even generations later -

There's just something about looking at photos of your ancestors, known or unknown. We search for that piece of ourselves that lies within them.

He'll do this for some "regular people" in season 10, starting January 2, 2024. Enjoy!

[christopherraymond]

It would be nice if he did this for regular people instead of celebrities

[CrystalTwinStar]

I just found photos of some of my ancestors and yes, it evokes such intense emotions. I'm very sensitive to energy so it felt like our timelines were literally overlapping. Surreal indeed.💝🙏😇

0:06 WOW, Andy’s maternal grandfather looks a lot like him! Or I should say Andy looks a lot like him.

I recently saved to my tree on Ancestry a photo that a cousin had posted of my great, great grandmother and all four of her siblings. I had done a lot of research on the Webster's because her father had died when they were all little in Vicksburg during the Civil War. So exciting.

This stuff is so powerful!!! Im gonna cry when I get my results.. im gonna find out about REAL people who lived their lives and fell in love and now im here.. this is awesome

My mother and Aunt have a half sibling they've never met. My grandfather had a child with a German woman during his deployment in the Korean war before he was married to my grandmother. There is another family out there that we don't know.

[kerrihennebury]

Oooooh, dirty pots and pans! 😂 My new favorite saying.

[JustWastedHoursHere]

You know what would be an astounding creation? Imagine a HUGE family tree engraved on the ground somewhere that shows relationships of every person alive today, going back perhaps a few hundred years. We could *SEE* how closely we actually are related to each other.

Last dudes bloodline been handsome for generations

You would think that Andy Samberg would've met his maternal grandfather. They do look alike.

My mother traced our roots on her side to Erik the Red, founder of the first colony on Greenland, c985

[lauraautry]

It is so interesting to see how people react to what they find out. I cry watching each story. I love watching.

[PecanSandees]

It would be nice to know the names of these famous people because I didn't recognize everyone.
