First of all: DARRYL THIS SITE IS TRULY AMAZING. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE DONE THIS!!! IT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! AN ABUNDANCE OF THANKS AND MUCH GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE LABOR AND THE LOVE YOU HAVE PUT INTO THIS DATABASE! THANK YOU!
Now, has anyone watched Who Do You Think You Are? While I was watching the Brooke Shields' episode last Friday, I thought about this site and found myself getting a little "uppity" over my own pedigree.
How does yours compare with hers?
P.S.--I do WISH that I could find the original house nestled in the Highlands of Scotland that my ancestors came from, the way she [or should I say a hired professional] found her ancestors' house... |

I was impressed .... I had heard many years ago that I was related to Brooke Shields via the Borghese / Torlonia line - but I can only go back as far as 1875....

The Who Do You Think You Are? episode broadcast on 2 April, 2010, revealed to a wide North American audience that American actress, Brooke Shields, is a direct descendant of the Torlonia family via her paternal grandmother. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Torlonia[/url]

Brooke Shields always felt her parents were from separate worlds, but when she dug into her family history on Who Do You Think You Are? , she realized how true this really was. Her mother was from a working-class New Jersey household, and her father’s family stemmed from European aristocracy. Researching the pair, however, gave Brooke better insight into the lives that influenced each of them and that ultimately made Brooke the person she is today.
