Golden Globe-winning actress Valerie Bertinelli rediscovers her lineage on her mother’s behalf on PBS’s Finding Your Roots.

“Valerie would you please read the occupation that your ancestor had in 1910?

He was a baker! It goes down through my history!

I’m so grateful and I want I can’t wait to share it with my family”
