Who Do You Think You Are? Sarah J ParkerSeason 1, Episode 1 - Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica has always assumed that her ancestors were recent immigrants to the United States. She knew that her mother was born and raised in Cincinnati's German community, like her parents and grandparents before her, but didn't know much more than that. However, a visit to her mother reveals a distinctly non-German sounding ancestor - Lillian Hodge. Intrigued by this, Sarah Jessica heads to Cincinnati, where she discovers her ancestor, John Hodge died on a journey to California in 1849. Wanting to know more, Sarah Jessica travels to the gold fields of northern California. Digging further back, her journey takes her to Colonial New England where she uncovers a collection of 17th Century trial papers, revealing that another ancestor was involved in one of the most terrifying events in American history.
