Hello,
On Dutch TV there is a serie "Verborgen Verleden", in English "Hidden Past".
In Hidden Past, famous Dutch people go in search for their family history. Who were their ancestors and what did they do? To find out, the main characters have to travel. Sometimes very far back in the past, sometimes much closer.
In Hidden Past, the broad outlines of history become visible in the stories that are hidden in the family trees of the main characters.
In March of this year, there was the broadcast with Gover Meit.
The youth of his Polish ancestor Ferdinand Friedrich Kaczor was not explored in depth. Nor were this ancestors. It would probably have been too long for the broadcast.
