“My family is going to freak out and bug out.” We were able to trace back John Leguizamo’s lineage over ten generations, learning that his 15th great-grandfather was the governor of the Pompeian district in Spain.
Watch the full episode at: www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your...
#FindingYourRoots airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on PBS. In the February 15th episode, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. helps John Leguizamo and Lena Waithe recover crucial, missing pieces in the story of their ancestors’ journey to America.
