Their Roots Are Showing-Celebrity Fundraiser

Based on the hit TV show, "Who Do You Think You Are", come join The
California Genealogical Society, a library and research center, for an
evening of surprise and
discovery for three Bay Area celebrities as they journey up their family trees before a live local audience.  The show features:

  • Billy Beane, General Manager of the Oakland A's
  • Natalie Coughlin, winner of 12 Olympic swimming medals and
  • Tim “Herb” Alexander, ranked #16 on Rolling Stone magazine's best drummer list and former member of
    Grammy-nominated rock band Primus.
For anyone who has
wondered about their own ancestors, members of the California
Genealogical Society will be on hand to answer questions.
  • Don't miss the Silent
    Auction of celebrity-signed memorabilia and other items will be held in the theater
    lobby beginning at 7pm, with the show starting at 8pm.

"I am looking forward to an evening of discovery” says Billy Beane.
“Like many Americans, I know little about my family history beyond my

grandparents. I am very excited and look forward to this exciting

event."


Their Roots Are Showing will let you be a part of celebrity guests becoming emotionally caught
up in the tales of love and loss, success and despair that formed the
lives of their ancestors.  Come join us!
