London’s Olympia was packed out today with men and women of all ages tracking their family histories for the first day of the annual genealogy exhibition Who Do You Think You Are? Live .

Greg Wallace was among the guests speaking about his adventures into ancestry, and over the weekend we’ll be joined by actress Samantha Womack and former England and Liverpool football player John Barnes.

Culture Compass’s Loma-Ann Marks was among the press at the exhibition today, meeting up with the My Heritage and Love To Learn teams, whilst discovering facts about her past.

And of course, there were those who couldn’t resist taking the ginger gene test…a DNA revelation that was covered across the national media only weeks ago.

Who Do YOU Think You Are? It’s easy to find out!
Golden Goose PR is handing all media once again for Who Do
You Think You Are? LIVE. The 2012 event opens at Olympia on 24th
February and in advance of visiting enthusiasts taking in the exhibitors,
seeing celebrity speakers from the BBC version of the show up close and talking
to the genealogy experts we’ve been busily placing feature items in the media
and across the consumer chat shows.

Antiques Roadshow regular Eric Knowles today appeared on
ITV1’s The Alan Titchmarsh Show and discussed his role in the show where he’ll
be returning as the onsite Heirloom Detective helping visitors trace the roots
of their family treasures.

He was also joined on screen by Jan, a WDYTYA? LIVE previous visitor and family history enthusiast who’d written into WDYTYA’s website to take part in the feature on the show.

Eric traced back the originality of a clock she had inherited from her great grandfather who’d been given the clock as a gift in 1890.

Though the clock turned out to be worthless, its memories remain priceless.

WDYTYA? LIVE opens on 24th February
