What is DNA Family Secrets about?
The first episode of DNA Family Secrets will see Stacey Dooley meeting with 75 year-old Bill, who grew up without a father. Bill’s mum fell in love with his dad, who was an African American GI stationed at her local Loughborough airbase, and he returned to America at the end of World War Two. Bill's mum never heard from him again, and now Bill wants to see if he has any living relatives in America, and if he can discover what happened to his dad.
She will also help to solve the mystery of 53-year old Richard's parentage and discover whether or not Charlie and Rob's son Cain could develop Huntington’s disease after Charlie’s father was diagnosed with the debilitating illness.
In each individual case, a team of experts will help to answer pressing questions about family history, health, and anything else that DNA analysis can provide.
