I've just watched my recording of this and found it fascinating, especially because I had a gt. gt. grandfather who died in the American Civil War. I got the pension records for his widow from the National Archives and Records Bureau in Washington - about 20 pages of incredible information about my family that I would never have known otherwise.
The thing that has bothered me though is what was said by the BBC announcer at the end. Something to the effect that WDYTYA is "taking a break" because something else is being shown at the same time next week. Does that mean we won't get to see the rest of this series until some unspecified time in the future? I have my recorder set to record the whole series and there is nothing showing in the recording schedule after this week. It's only just started and now it looks as though it is being snatched away from us!
