I have no doubt. I've done a lot of genealogy myself, including some of the folks in the BBC show where there's a New England element (that would be Boris Johnson & Jodie Kidd). I understand the US version will kick off with Lisa Kudrow (who's responsible for bringing the show to the US), Susan Sarandon & Sarah Jessica Parker. We'll see how it goes (few UK shows wind up doing well here, one exception I can think of off hand was All in the Family).
