This is my family tree
1:10:08
going back 300 years.
1:10:12
Doug found this website in Salt Lake City
1:10:15
that has the genealogy
of everybody in the world.
1:10:18
You type in your credit-card details and up
comes your family tree. It's amazing. Look.
1:10:24
Here I am - Vera Edwards.
1:10:26
And there is Alicia.
1:10:28
And then there's my dad.
And there's the person he married.
1:10:32
- Your mother.
- Right.
1:10:34
Then there's Grandma Edwards.
1:10:36
That's her maiden name,
except they've spelt it wrong.
1:10:39
- No, they haven't.
- Yes, they have. It's Kendal with one I.
1:10:43
Then you get up here.
This is where it gets good.
1:10:46
Here is Godwyn Edwards
and his wife, Abigail.
1:10:52
Do you know who those two people are?
They're everywhere! Look!
1:10:59
Godwyn Edwards. And Abigail Edwards.
1:11:01
The people that founded Hope
are my ancestors!
1:11:04
- Good heavens!
- I know. I couldn't believe it. It's amazing.
1:11:08
But that's just the start.
1:11:10
- There's more?
- Yes.
1:11:14
You know there's this annual Cannon Ball
thing that happens on Saturday?
1:11:18
Apparently that's when they choose
the new Queen of Hope.
1:11:21
Queen of Hope?
1:11:23
Doug chooses who will represent the town
as its queen.
1:11:26
The ridiculous thing is, he thinks, because
of my family history, I should apply.
1:11:32
- To be queen?
- I know! It's preposterous, isn't it?
1:11:35
I mean, it's absurd, even for me.
Isn't it?
1:11:38
- Is it?
- I don't know, you see.
1:11:41
Is it something
I should really contemplate doing?
1:11:44
I don't know.
What does being Queen of Hope involve?
1:11:48
It's just a week of engagements
and things like that.
1:11:51
And they want the queen to
promote the new mineral water this year.
1:11:54
He wants to build a whole ad campaign
around it. TV spots, public appearances.
1:11:59
- Her picture on the label.
- Presumably you'd have a crown?
