The final episode of Who Do You Think You Are? looks to close out the season with a dramatic turn. Airing Tuesday, July 1, at 7:30 PM AEST on SBS, the program features actor and writer Matt Nable taking a deep dive into his own past. What begins as a search for an ancestor who abandoned his large family ends with an unexpected find involving Nable’s Jewish background.
Nable starts his investigation looking for a forebear who left his wife and fourteen children, beginning a wide search across Australia. This initial quest, already a compelling hook, soon pivots sharply. As Nable explores his Jewish roots, he uncovers a revelation that changes everything he thought he knew about his family’s story.
For fans of genealogy and those curious about the personal histories behind public figures, Nable’s quest holds a particular pull. It’s a look at how even the most seemingly clear family trees can hide some remarkable secrets.
