Seventy-five-year-old Bill has never met his dad, but he’s about to discover life-changing answers.

Bill’s mother was devastated when his father left England after World War Two.

Now Bill wants to discover why his dad never came back and if he has any living relatives in America.

Growing popularity of genetic testing has created worldwide databases that allow people to ask questions previously impossible to answer about their families, ancestry and health.

UK viewers can watch DNA Family Secrets on BBC iPlayer.
