Eldest daughter's fiancee killed in car crash, eldest son hospitalized in severe/critical condition.
Kind of weird considering that prior to the accident, when the youngest son was really sick (they didn't say, but I'm guessing food poisoning or adjusting to the water supply, as several other people were affected by it), the father was just about in tears talking about what it must have been like to have watched members of your family die back in the 1600s and being powerless to stop it.
Oh my - that is a horrible. Very sad.
I've always found these shows interesting. I didn't know they were doing the colonial times one.
Saw one when I was in England about a family who went back to WWII and what it was like to live in London during the bombing by the Germans. VERY interesting ...
