This week Lisa McCune discovers some gruesome history in her family tree.

2014-08-17_1705This week’s episode of the always-excellent Who Do You Think You Are? features Lisa McCune who discovers some gruesome history in her family tree, as she seeks to learn more about her grandfather and his family.

As a teenager Lisa learned that the man she knew as her grandfather was not her dad’s biological father. Her dad, Malcolm, was fostered out as a very young child and his brothers were placed in an orphanage. Lisa’s Dad knows little about his biological father beyond a name – George Bloomer.

In the new Australian series of Who Do you Think You Are? Lisa embarks on a quest to find out about the mysterious George Bloomer. She discovers two: a great grandfather caught up in a gruesome and sensational Gold Rush murder; and a grandfather struggling with mental illness and the pressures of war – with tragic consequences for his young family.
