“I’m so glad I got to know my ancestors. For those that did it really tough. I look at their lives and think I don’t think I would have coped. I’ve also realised how lucky I am, I found my place when it comes to family and I feel incredibly grateful for that because not everybody finds that.” Lisa Wilkinson
“… love is the through line.” Cameron Daddo Source: SBS
“Two beautiful love stories. One six generations ago. And another back through further generations yet love is the through line. I feel incredibly grateful that I have that to look back on. I come from love stories. Brings up such deep emotion.” Cameron Daddo

As always, there will be tears, laughter, shocking discoveries, emotional revelations and intriguing surprises. One of the cast discovers the father they never knew was a true patriot who devoted his life to his country, while another traces lost German roots.
