On this season of 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy Slaton’s family wants to learn more about their history.

For years, their mother Darlene told everyone their family came from England. In fact, she even alluded that they were distant cousins of Queen Elizabeth II. This prompted Amy and Chris to meet with a genealogist and plan a family trip to London. 

In tonight’s new episode, fans will get a chance to learn about the family’s history and what they discovered while speaking with a specialist. Check out the teaser to see what to expect.

“That is surprising,” Misty adds.

“So our 9x great-grandfather brought the pilgrims over to the United States,” Chris concludes, with the genealogist confirming that their ancestor helped the ship land at Plymouth Rock.
