From the makers of the hugely successful BBC family history series Who Do You Think You Are? comes a new and inspirational documentary programme for ITV1 that will aim to trace and reunite families.

Imagine not knowing one of your parents, or not having seen your father since you were five; imagine never having met your big brother or little sister, or discovering at the age of 25 that you have a twin. In Britain today there are tens of thousands of people in this position; people adopted as babies, children of unknown fathers or with a sibling they’ve never met; people whose dads were never on the scene or whose mums walked out when they were tiny. At some stage in their lives, they will often develop a burning desire to find family members.

But tracing a missing relative can be complex and time consuming, involving a big emotional as well financial investment. In many cases the obstacles prove too great and the search goes cold. For those people, this is the series with the expertise and detective skills that they can turn to. With a team of experts in tracing and finding people and in providing trained emotional support along the way, the programme will aim to reunite those on a quest to find their family members.

Each programme will tell the story of two different people who want to be reunited with a relative. We’ll follow these individuals along their journey as they seek reunion. The programmes will explore the issues involved when families separate in a sensitive and non judgmental way, as well as exploring the lengths some go to reunite and find answers. By featuring positive stories about the search and reunion process we hope to make family reunion more accessible and inspire people who have long thought about tracing a relative to take the next step . . .
