This is very important when doing research papers. However, just because one values objective information doesn't mean they can't support or use biased sources "as long as they don't use them for objective inquiry purposes.

Found out we may be related 😅

I have in recent years learned of my connection to the Patawomeck. I am descended from Wahanganoche's daughter by Ka Okee, Ontonah. As well as others. Thank you. Some of my family members died in that massacre. I did not believe it at first as it seemed too far fetched. I blurted it out as preposterous, to a friend whom I worked with and who drove me work as we worked together most of the time. Turns out he is a distant cousin and his family has archives back in Massachusetts which document my grandfathers lineage and pedigree. Since one of his relatives married my grandfather and they are descended from British nobility. Records were written and verified and kept all these long years. So, they were not all massacred there were survivors. I am living proof. Ontonah survived. Her great grandson is my direct ancestor William Waugh and he was the one who married a Miss Margaret Tyler, a descendant of Sir George de Parker of Britain.

Everything you say in your videos makes so much since to me ! Finally someone did the research and it all falls in line with what I have learned. I recently read a long list of last names of families that are related to Pocahontas. On that list were two of my family names..Harrison and Lewis both names on my fathers side. I haven't found a direct connection yet but I will keep researching until I do. Nothing came up in my Ancestry DNA but that doesn't discourage me at all just makes me more vigilant! Our family may also have Cherokee which shows up on my family tree...To be continued...

So I was busy figuring out my Maternal Grandpa's Tazewell sw VA side (White Appalachians, Melungeons, etc.?) and I found Raliegh Croshaw and Powhatan wife "Rachel Unity Ursula"? up that side. I then I looked through my maternal grandma's little further back Appalachian from VA (left early, all became Midwest Settlers) and guess who shows up twice on different branches from her maternal grandmom (2nd ggm mine). The one side I got Henry Ashton 1671/1731 son of Grace Meese 1640/1710 dau. of Mary- dau. of Wahanganoche 1615/1663 and Unknown Pettus? The other side I got Charles Ashton 1655/1708 son of Grace Meese 1640/1710 dau. of Mary - dau. of Wahanganoche 1615/1663 and Unknown Pettus? I used the Gedmatch's Dodecad World9 on my Chromosome painting at the very beginning of chr. 1 I have the red Native American markers (Chief Powhatan), Chr. 3 between 176-196 I have the red markers (Cleopatra or Ka-Okee), and on Chr. 2 I have two places: between 126-167 I have red markers and 209-240 red markers again (Powhatan) I got that information first from an online Shawnee group I'm part of.

Interesting!

This is a great video. Kocoum and Pocahontas are supposed to be my 13th GGP's, KaOkee my 12th through my Pettus, Meese lines. I do believe he existed and am currently in a ged match group study comparing our DNA to known markers of the Powhatan tribe. I have 3 of the 4 known markers on Chr 1 for Powhatan. We only have the results for Chr. 1 so far. I'm very excited about this study.

She came to the US around the 1950s with my Aunt , first New York, then Chicago. Then in Florida.

And yes she was Donauschwaben

She was from Nakadorf

That picture looks like my Grandmother's mother, my Grandmother and her Daughter survived the camps after WW2 and migrated to the US , they lived in Chicago, IL. My Grandmother's maiden name was Bergroschtje and she came to the US under her married name Zegledi. She had one Daughter and one son. I can share pictures of my Grandmother's mother and Family with you.

I think we might be related

Junaluska is the name of a Cherokee warrior who saved the life of Andrew Jackson during the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in the War of 1812. Junaluska also said that had he known that Jackson would betray the Cherokees with the Indian Removal Act of 1830 not only would be not have saved his life, Junaluska would have killed him personally. I have no idea if this is the same man, but Junaluska is a revered name by many Cherokees, including me due to his quote about killing the bike Andrew Jackson, who I despise to this day. Clearly, it seems this can't be the same man, but wow, what a coincidence is naming. Very odd, isn't it? This story is quite strange, overrall. Another issue that comes up is the commanality of the Scots and the Cherokees. Many Scots teaders settled in the Appalachians and inter~married with the Cherokees far back in the history of the Americas, some before the finding of the United States. Your theoretical family tree had merits and as I was told by the attorneys I wrote Appellate Court briefs for back in the late 1980s when my legal theory was sound, "it has legs" meaning it could be proven correct given enough research. I thought it was interesting that the name, Junaluska was featured and that name comes up in a profiund way in Cherokee history during the Warv of 1812, some time in the future is fascinating and sets me wondering what, if any, relationship there might be between the family you've researched and the onev that produced the warrior I mentioned. Fascinating video. Wado.

I would like some help and them people/names have popped up. I have done a DNA test through My Heritage and I also amongst GED match along with my true ancestry and a few others.. names have been changed over the years and I am in need of help..

Pocohontas is my 13th grandmother. Facinating info

Thomas is my 13th or 14th great grandfather, on my mothers side all the way down the mens side.

Im a descendent!!

Sir Giles Brent is my 12th great-grandfather. I am descended thru his daughter with his first wife who they named Anna Maria Brent. Then her son, Archibald Simpson. Turns out, we're related. Glad to see we have similar interests & you are so incredibly intelligent. Great to make your acquaintance, family.

Nice video mom :)

I am also a descendent of Kocoum … Pocahontas is my 12th great grandmother

I'm very honored to be an enrolled member of the Patawomeck Tribe of Virginia. What a privlege it sincerely is to recite my mothers Indigenous lineage back through each generation to over 400 years ago!

He IS my ancestor. There is data on Ancestry website. It was entered from archival documents held by a Massachusetts family of the English aristocracy. Since back in the day one of their young ladies married up my father's direct ancestor, a William Waugh. He is the descendant of Kocoum and Matoaka. Their daughter was raised by his family. The young man, William was thoroughly investigated and his lineage verified at the time of his betrothal to Margaret Tyler. I met a member of her family and he told me it was fact. I was skeptical and guffawed at the idea and my research results. He got serious and told me to do more research and tell him the results. I did and he said, yes those were the names. It was true.

Thank you for the video. Both my parents were Donauswabian and grew up and survived the post WW2 camps. I can still speak some of the swabian German dialect. They were in the Banat area near Rumania and Hungarian borders.

I have come across info that i am related to Ka'okee through both Christian Pettus and the daughter listed as Unknown, with intermarriage between those two lines going down as well. I cannot wait to read your book and find all the info I can about my ancestors.

Sounds very familiar. As an American-born with that lineage, I try to explain to our friends what happened after May 8th, 1945.

I’m not aware of any evidence of such a massacre. I have read that, while the war resolution was past, there’s no indication that it was acted upon, at least in the context of the Patawomecks. In the contrary, there is evidence of transactions continuing to occur between the Patawomecks and the English colonists. If there is evidence of such a massacre, I’d be interested to be educated about it.

The city of Northfield is trying to change zoning of this land and there is a meeting tonight @ 6pm - City Hall 4-23-24

❤ from Kentucky.

Lovely to see the history of my family My Grandmother Charlotte Baird came from Scotland In the early 1900s She raised my Brother and me. We spoke with a Scottish accent as children. I still know some of the Scottish songs and sing them to my Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.

IF HE MARRIED A WHITE WOMAN THEN HE IS NOT CHEROKEE OR A INDIAN THIS IS A FAKE WHITE MAD UUP BY WHITE PEOPLE

thank you so much I've been starting to think and wonder what is special about my last name and whats the story about it. so thanks a lot for the video

Cousin When I was a child I had the same dream 5 times over the span of around 7 years. I now understand that dream. Maybe I can share sometime

I would like to add some input to this mystery. I am a Brown Family YDNA male Descendant. We match no other Brown Last name anywhere in the world thus far. I have been doing DNA research for well over a decade. Our male DNA is rare. Again, no Browns or Septs around the world match our brown Family here in America. The few matches I do have all connect to our same Fam tree in America last known male Ancestor : William Brown (old Rowan County North Carolina. We had land very early near Tradings post, Trading Ford, Saponi Town as early as late 1600s. Family oral tradition of an alliance marriage with a ship captain for trade reasons. There is one person with last name Donnaho that overlaps our Brown ancestor exactly. (We share a common Ancestor) Our Family was once listed in a court claim of land and they listed our entire Family by name as a Mix blood colored family. I narrowed our family down to being Catawba or Cherokee. I took a DNA signature tests with DNA consultants showing fair amounts of Cherokee Ancestry. Early in my research My make DNA did Match Absolom Billoat Brown Cherokee The Catawbas have strong Brown family history and last name in their tribe , as well. There is a big possibility our Brown family was not placed on the Cherokee rolls because the settlers burn our homes down 3 times within a two year time frame. Slightly before the Trail of Tears my family followed the LDS Mormon Church and the Mormon trail out of North Carolina and finally went to Utah. We would never be listed on the Rolls. We had a triangulation of marriages between the Brown-Stephen-Williams family with multiple intermarriages between the Browns and Stephens. The Browns married Stephens and Stephens married Browns. Sometimes two Brothers would marry two sisters. There was a documented Elizabeth Brown Stephens that did walk the trail of Tears. My addition to your video is: Are the Brown and Donnaho family the same since our male DNA is the same? We were living close to the Piedmont region of Eastern Cherokee.

We’re still here, still loyal and still fight for what’s right. It’s in our blood thanks to our ancestors.

I just found out that Kocoum and Pocahontas were my 13 great grandparents. Where do I go from here to get more info or to verify those family tree roots?

My great grandfather came to U.S. in 1913 from Yugoslavia Gaborik

Aho

Thanks for the video.

Amazing work.

Thank you for this video. I had no idea that my grandfather was Donauschwaben until I recently researched my ancestry. He never talked about it. His father came from Nees Austria-Hungary (now Romania) and settled in Milwaukee. I first leaned that my ancestors came from Hungary from talking to a great aunt that was 93 years old back around year 1995, but the brief conversation did not reveal any details. Similar to the author of this video, further leaning of this history shook me. I am still learning, but I am so grateful that my great grandfather left in 1905 and escaped the horrors that came later. I learned that life became very difficult after Franz Josef, the Habsbourg Emperor/Ruler of Austria-Hungary, gave the keys of Hungary, so to speak, to the Ethnic Magyars. It appears to me that between 1967 and 1918 (WWI) ethnic persecution of Donauschwaben in the Banat was the cause of the exodus that drove my ancestors to America. Some sources describe this persecution as violent and extreme. Germans were spared if they "Magyarized"---I didn't make that word up, I swear. I read about it. Magyarization was an assimilation or acculturation process by which non-Hungarian nationals living in the Kingdom of Hungary, adopted the Hungarian national identity and language in the period between the Compromise of 1867 and Austria-Hungary's dissolution in 1918, according to Wikipedia. Thus, the head covering by women in the Banat at that time. Learning from this video, the head covering didn't always help. The Donauschwaben felt abandoned and betrayed by Emperor Franz Josef and the Hapsburgs. The Donauschwaben in the Banat were then under an oppressive and hostile Hungarian government without any representation. Seems like there was an eye of the storm between the world wars, but WWII brought almost total devastation for those that stayed. I guess you just need to know when to leave.

Waiting for my book to arrive! Very eager to get started reading this and your next book as well.

I'm going to save this video and link for when I can afford this test. I've taken other DNA tests

Hi cousin. I can't wait to read this. I am related to Ka-Okee through the Pettus family. Ka-Okee is my 10th great grandmother. I've always felt a strong connection with Kocoum before I even realized who he truly was.

Just received my copy of your book today in the mail. This book looks great full of great information and graphics that are easy to follow.

Okay People Update, I Traced My Family Line Of My Grandmother's Grandmother Back To Pocohontas & John Rolfe Backed Up By Historical Documents; I Even Have Rolfe Cousins On Ancestry, But Surprisingly It Is Not A Family Line Coming Out Of Virginia But 1500's-1600's New England; Even Though I Was Born In Virginia & I Can Trace My Family Back To Jamestown There & Have Cousins Who Go Back To Pocohontas Thru The Bollings. I Will Have To Look At The Exact Family Line & Post It Here; Life Is Full Of Surprises. It Is Also Possible To Be Related In More Than One Way But You Dont Know How Till You Trace It Back.

He’s in my tree

y dna makes no sense to me whatever
