Celebrities profiled on the Australian series include Jack Thompson, Kate Ceberano, Geoffrey Robertson, Cathy Freeman, Dennis Cometti and Ita Buttrose.

The success of the series led to SBS TV and the National Archives of Australia jointly organising a "Shake Your Family Tree" day on 27 February 2008 to promote genealogy.
