On a 2023 episode of ''[[Finding Your Roots]]'', Roberts learned that the surname of her biological paternal great-great-grandfather was actually Mitchell, not Roberts.<ref>{{cite web |title=Julia Roberts Isn't ACTUALLY Julia "Roberts"?? - Finding Your Roots |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sXCRjTtHNU |website=Ancestry | date=January 3, 2023 |access-date=6 January 2023 |archive-date=January 6, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230106025153/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sXCRjTtHNU&gl=US&hl=en |url-status=live }}</ref>

Roberts also learned her ancestors owned slaves: "You have to figure, if you are from the South, you're on one side of it or the other. It just seems very typical of that time, unfortunately. ...
