PBS Show and the Martín Serrano Lineage
I received an e-mail message from Titi Yu, a producer of the new PBS show “Finding Your Roots” with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/finding-your-.... The show first airs on March 25th and takes “viewers along for the journey with one celebrity pair bound together by an intimate, sometimes hidden link, treks through layers of ancestral history, uncovers secrets and surprises of their family trees and shares life-altering discoveries.”
One of the celebrities that will be featured has roots in 17th century New Mexico, in particular a lineage tracing back to the Martin Serrano family. Ms Yu was looking for verification of parts of Martin Serrano lineage that was compiled by her team of consultants from some of my research. She was also interested in any copies of original documents.
I sent her my comprehensive history and genealogy of the Martin Serrano, originally published in ‘El Farolito,” Spring-Winter 2008, Vol. 11, Nos. 2-4 (journal of the Olibama López Tushar Hispanic Legacy Research Center, www.hispaniclegacy.org) as well as several digital images of some original some primary records.
It will be interesting to learn who the celebrity is with deep New Mexico roots and to watch the episode in which the Martin Serrano lineage is featured.
“Finding Your Roots” airs March 25–May 20th at 8:00pm ET/6:00pm MT on your local PBS channel.

The celebrities are Linda Chavez and Adrian Grenier. Thier show will be the last episode of the series, most likely airing May 20th. Read the recent NPR interview with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in which he mentions that Diego de Montoya is a common ancestor of Chavez and Grenier.
