WDYTYA? USA - Valerie Bertinelli

Last night's WDYTYA? USA episode featured Valerie Bertinelli - a US actress more well-known in the states than over here.

Her episode focussed on the Italian and British sides of her family. The Italian side of her family led to a case of attempted murder - it really does surprise me how often US celebrities have a link to murder in some way.

Valerie's British side led to a gateway-ancestor, which means that their family is well-documented and usually very posh/noble to boot. Mere mortals may only dream of a gateway ancestor and royal connections - but WDYTYA? USA just waltzes straight in with one, still, it makes for an interesting facet of the story.

Also featured were elements of Pennsylvania's history and its founding, as well as its Quaker connections.
