   I have worked up any enthusiasm to watch second programme after reading the   
    hype in the newspapers.   
      
   I am sure they spun it in the first programme to suggest they found the   
    village with all "cousins" using DNA when I think it was done using good   
    old fashioned genealogical searching then confirmed using DNA - if only we   
    could all afford to get a whole village tested!
