How 'Finding Your Roots' Solved Alabama Woman's Family Mystery

Terrie Morrow has always considered herself somewhat of a family historian, so when she heard that 'Finding Your Roots' was searching for viewers to appear on an episode of the PBS show, she was thrilled. But she almost missed her opportunity to decode a mystery that has troubled her family for over a century. “The casting was about to wrap up by the time I saw it,” she tells TODAY.com.

“I’m not mad at her. I feel bad for her because as a mother you don’t forget. You have to forget on paper when people question you. You have to pretend. But as a mother you don’t forget,' she says. Still, Morrow thinks her great-grandfather would've found comfort in knowing that Chambers' other children took care of her later in life. Sadly, both Chambers and her daughter Mary ended up dying around the same time and Mary's daughter was sent to live in an orphanage.
