The McHenry County Genealogical Society meets at 7 p.m. Sept. 10 at The Pointe, 5650 Northwest Hwy., Crystal Lake. The program is "PBS Genealogy Roadshow experience in St. Louis," presented by Gail Lukasik. When "Genealogy Roadshow" solicited applicants with family mysteries related to New Orleans and with historical relevance, Lukasik sent them her family mystery. The show was so intrigued by her family's story, they sent a film crew to Libertyville to tape her, and then filmed her and her family in St. Louis where they revealed her mother's life-changing secret. She will discuss her experiences from the initial application to the final reveal, as well the research that went into her family discovery. Even after the show aired, the story is still unfolding.
