The show, I am certain, will draw others into the search for their own roots.
While I watched Sara Jessica Parker's coast-to-coast search for details about family members she had never known, the following quote came to mind:
In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage--
to know who we are and where we came from.
Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning.
No matter what our attainments in life,
there is still a vacuum, an emptiness,
and the most disquieting loneliness.
-Alex Haley
