    Love this show

    I am hooked on this show. I find the genealogy mapping fascinating. I want more episodes!

    Very good

    I don't know how you cannot like this show. Very family oriented. The good guys win, the bad guys lose. It's nice to have reality show that about real people not some scripted reality show

    A new way of figuring things out

    Being a genealogist I really could relate to this show and this new science. People have no idea how much work goes into keeping family records, names and events alive What's wrong with one more way of solving crime and putting scumbags where they belong?

    Informative and entertaining, with satisfying results.

    I dislike true crime shows that don't end with capturing the perp. These all do and that's a big plus. Most other shows are populated mostly with civil employees; city, county, state and federal - and they are all acting in official capacities and their demeaner is "official". But not CeCe. She's an ordinary citizen, with exceptional knowledge and skills, helping solve cold cases. I don't mind the casual filming from her home or introducing us to her husband, who's in the kitchen. This is not your usual true crime show, and for that I'm grateful. I hope there are many more episodes.

    This will be interesting!

    Can't wait for the next episodes. This is "state of the art" true crime solving in an emerging field.

    This first episode introduces the main characters: CeCe, GEDMatch and Codis. Future episodes will certainly focus on the mystery and "whodunnit"

    Looking forward to each episode!
