More MCGG Genealogy TV Show BINGO: Version 2 Cards -- Try It!

It is just over six hours until the third episode of the Who Do You Think You Are? TV series on NBC.

Last week, we experimented creating our own MCGG Genealogy TV Show Bingo cards. As we said it was our first attempt, Version 1.

We've played with the cards some more to make them more adaptable to whichever genealogy TV show is airing. By condensing some items like vital record types and ethnicity, more spaces are available for items that could apply to all subjects of the show. Give these Version 2 cards a try.

There might be a third version -- the two main genealogy TV shows have different formats though both feature celebrities as the subject of each show. In one show the subject is presented a book and given a narrative of what was discovered and almost always covers DNA. In the other show the subject essentially goes on a journey discovering/revealing a narrative and rarely covers on DNA. Striking a balance between the two situations and yet adding in some quirks genealogy-aware viewers experience (Uses/Doesn't Use Gloves! not to mention Puts On/Takes Off Reading Glasses) while watching is the challenge in developing a generic card to use for most genealogy TV shows.

Remember, these are for personal use and not for commercial resale.
