Probate TV’s Lineage Series 2 to Launch with Special VE Day Episode

[London, UK] 29.04.2025

Probate TV is excited to announce the upcoming launch of Lineage Series 2, kicking off with a special episode commemorating 80 years since the end of World War II. This episode will feature leading probate research firm, Fraser and Fraser, as they undertake a poignant case, with support from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, to uncover the family of a fallen soldier and locate a photograph.

In this special VE Day episode, Fraser and Fraser will delve into a case with deep historical significance: a soldier who perished in the Netherlands and was laid to rest there. For years, grave adopters have longed to find a photograph of the soldier, known only by his name on a gravestone.

“This episode of Lineage is particularly special,” says Andy Loakes at Fraser and Fraser. “It’s a moving tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and it highlights the important work that probate researchers do to connect families with their past – in this case, to connect grave adopters with a photograph.”

Will Fraser and Fraser successfully trace the soldier’s family? Will their efforts lead to the discovery of a photograph, finally giving a face to the name?

Viewers can tune in to find out. The special VE Day episode of Lineage will be available on YouTube starting May 8^th.
