BBC America’s Relative Secrets returns Monday, June 9 at 10 PM ET with a case that’s both a historical puzzle and a deeply personal quest. In Dawson Family (Episode 2), genealogists Jane and Natasha take on the case of a 99-year-old World War II veteran who carries a heavy burden of guilt—and a nagging suspicion that something terrible happened to his grandmother.
The veteran believes his childhood neglect may have contributed to his grandmother’s disappearance, or even her murder. Jane and Natasha dig into the family’s history, hoping to ease his fears and uncover the truth about what really happened decades earlier.
Like the best genealogical deep dives, this episode weaves together historical context, personal stories, and a touch of mystery. It’s a reminder that even seemingly ordinary families can harbor secrets that ripple across generations. For viewers who appreciate a blend of historical research and human drama, Dawson Family looks to be a compelling hour of television.
Tune in to BBC America on Monday at 10:00 PM ET.
