Genealogy Roadshow Host Kenyatta Berry Explores Her Family's Rochester Roots

PBS Genealogy Roadshow

According to some polls, genealogy is the second most popular hobby in the U.S. behind gardening.

American's fascination with their family roots has spawned a billion-dollar industry that includes websites, books, over-the-counter genetic testing kits, and television shows like PBS's Genealogy Roadshow.

Kenyatta Berry, one of the hosts of that show, is in Rochester tonight for a special presentation at the Little Theater. And this is actually an ancestral homecoming for her.
