After last week’s “Who
Do You Think You Are?” hiatus, I’m looking forward to this week’s episode featuring
actor Blair Underwood. I’ve admired him ever since “L.A. Law.” (I don’t have to be
a special fan of the celebrity to enjoy an episode, but it does add that extra element.)

In this preview clip, a genealogist guides Underwood through finding family in the
1860 census on Ancestry.com—and
Underwood realizes his African-American ancestor Delaware Scott was free in 1860,
and owned real estate.

And check out this
article, in which Underwood
talks about filming the show and meeting relatives in Cameroon.

The episode airs at 8 p.m. Eastern/ 7 p.m. Central on NBC.
