Special episode tonight tracing relatives for 3 WW1 soldiers whose remains were recently uncovered by a farmer in France.

Not a fan of Davina but her French is fluent!

Despite the many years since the deaths it seems the family members all know of the relation who died in the conflict.

I thought it was a very good programme and it is always worth reminding people that the Search Teams are still at work as well as the Research Teams in the UK. Clearly resources are an issue, as they were only advertising in the Manchester Press for relatives to come forward for one man - relatives could be anywhere. I wonder if they use the general DNA resources out there as the programme has done previously, especially with the recent interest of people to find out 'where they are from'. This wasn't made clear.

It was nice for that man who was put in an orphanage at a young age to find out that he did have family.
