The films were documentaries about discovering a persons, which in the films were all famous American celebrities, family tree and their ancestry and to show that everyone has an immigrant to the U.S. somewhere in their family tree. The films showed the host with one person at a time going over a book that had been put together for them. Through that process, the guest with whom the host was telling them about their ancestry would come across at least one, and at many times more, surprising fact or item they hadn't known.
People learn new things and come to appreciate things that they didn't know before or didn't appreciate as much. They learn about what type of culture, background, environment, and hardships their ancestors come from and endured. This brings cause for a new appreciation of what they went through to get to the U.S. and their experiences, which if not taken from diaries or journals come from secondhand accounts. This leads you to the realization that there are many things about our past history that we aren't aware of.
