LONDON, July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Family connections are a core value for renowned entertainer Donny Osmond. His ancestral roots go back to Wales, Devon, Oxfordshire, and other locations in the United Kingdom.

Family and family stories are also very important to me. I'm excited to speak about my heritage at this exciting event."
Family has always been an integral part of Osmond's life and international career, which spans over five decades. He joined his older brothers singing on The Andy Williams Show at age five. At eighteen he became one of the youngest variety television show hosts in history with his younger sister Marie on The Osmonds which aired in the UK on BBC1 on Sunday afternoons
