Genealogy, once a specialized research practice, is increasingly a common social  practice enabled by digitization and cultural intermediaries that support the construction of  family histories. The idea of finding out about oneself through an exploration of the character  and lives of ancestors is a growing social practice reflected in popular culture. Tracing one’s  personal traits through past family members and extending the sense of family and identity  back in time potentially enriches personal identity and link personal, social and cultural memory.  In this paper, an episode of the popular BBC TV program  Who Do You Think You Are?   is presented in which, it is argued, the celebrity guest embarks on a quest to construct a personalized  history of the present as a way of resolving personal problems and understanding the basis of their  celebrity. The implications of this analysis are expanded on to aid an understanding of the media  representations of genealogy as a social practice and the media representation of the relation  between history and memory.
