Sometimes when a child died very young, the next child born of the same sex was given the name of the deceased sibling.
My spouse and I both did DNA tests...and besides discovering I had a half-sister, we also found one woman who is on BOTH our DNA matches. Haven't quite discovered our shared ancestor (no worries, it goes back about 7 generations, but I found it hilarious). Just goes to show that at some level the whole world is our family...and maybe we shouldn't be hating on each other.
That reminds me of a story where a family all had the tests done. The elderly parents tests came back that they were each others closest relative in the data base. They knew they weren't closely related in the last couple generations but it did turn out after a lot of research that both their families originally came from the same town in Italy many ,many years and generations ago. Then both families settled in America in the same city and same Italian community. So turned out going past the recent generations all their family starting about 150 years ago were all the same people! And all those years they never knew the connection their families had lost in history.
Many sephardic Jews in some towns of Spain and Portugal also had that interminglung of families. Upon coming to America some of that knowledge was lost. Maybe that Italian family were crypto Jews or had a similar story
We are ALL related. We are absolutely all cousins of some degree or other. 😀
My husband, of recent Danish immigrant ancestry, and myself, mutt with all of my ancestors being here over 200 years, share an ancestor back about 400 years. He was a sea captain from Wales, and my husband is descended from his Danish wife. I'm descended from his Welsh wife.
My Mom ALWAYS claimed that she and my Dad were 8th cousins. But that she didn’t find out until YEARS after I her youngest was born. And I couldn’t for the longest time figure it out and prove it with the connection. Until about 38 hours ago. I was scrolling looking for something completely unrelated. Because I had NEVER scrolled deeper down my list past 3rd gen cousins. And into my 4th generation I found 2 cousins who are related to me on both sides. I was SO EXCITED to be able to show EVERYONE that my Mom was actually correct my parents were actually related. I’m trying to figure out how right now. I’m learning so much from this channel. It’s helped me to know how and where to start looking.
Dont let the internet hate get you down, your DNA is your history, not to be hated or loved, it just is what it is. Family secrets are interesting to be discovered. Cheers.
I had a great-great grandpa who moved into MN Territory from the Buffalo NY area in the Civil War era. After having several children his 1st wife died. I can find no death info about her. This grandpa was not wealthy. He was a basket maker. I have always heard stories about them being poor. He needed help with kids so remarried. Years ago before I did my DNA I wondered what woman would marry such a poor man with many children. I even wondered at that time about her heritage thinking perhaps even his poverty was better than her former life. They had children together starting a couple years after marriage. When I did my dna I realized I had probably guessed correctly about her former life. I have dna from the Middle Passage. I have tested many cousins and am 100% confident this Great Great Grandma is the one who was probably emancipated and came up the Mississippi to marry. I do have African heritage cousins from MO. I believe she kept her heritage a secret worrying that someday some legislater would throw her back into slavery. My biggest reason that I think nobody was told in the family is a couple years after this grandpa died, she remarried. Her 2nd husband was a Klan member! Yes..the Klan even had members in WI! What an amazing woman. Over the years she delivered many babies and nursed many a sick person back to health. I hope I get to meet her in Heaven!
Wow!!! That is so fascinating! Thank you for posting about it.
She souds like a fabulous lady! I hope you do get to meet her someday. 😁
lol if anything you seemed more educated and sensitive to American history than most people who take these tests
I got a little African too! But I always thought we had a tad, but now it can be proven.
Mayflower descendants: We need a bigger boat.
For sure!
What a weird world… I watched this video a week ago just because I was waiting for my Ancestry DNA test in the mail and figured I’d watch some videos of other people who had done the test. Turns out while I’m waiting for my results, I discovered that John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley are also my 10th great grandparents. I am descended from their daughter Hannah.
Added your path from John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (as they are in my tree already: their daughter Hannah married my 2nd cousin 12x removed) to my tree, and you and I appear to be 13th cousins 3x removed through my father's mother's Terrill - Richmond-Webb line. Not exactly a close relationship, but we are related. Hello, cousin! :)
In my research I discovered that there were actually 3 separate Mayflower voyages to the new world. My ancestors were on the first voyage. They died the first winter. Their grown kids decided to fulfill their parent's dream and traveled to the new world on the third voyage.
All very interesting! Where did the little girl go missing? My grandparents are from rapid city and my grandfather was born in Lemmon. I just learned he never had a birth certificate. He had to use a baby quilt that had his birth info as proof of his birth his whole life.
East of Piedmont a ways, North East of Rapid City.
@Rogue Angel I have not done it through any other companies because ultimately the country and regional designations are more for fun than anything and just an interesting tidbit that are influenced based on which genes and traits you personally got more of. What is accurate are the other people that you are genetically linked to and having that really helps in building more comprehensive family trees than I may have accomplished otherwise.
@Rogue Angel Oh, there is a huge issue with people not doing the proper research and adding people/documents that aren’t accurate and then it throws off and skews throngs farther down the line. It takes a lot of time to verify each thing and too many aren’t willing to take that time. I have been amazed at things that have shown up for me as suggestions that were far off base and I have one person on my tree that was added accidentally but for the life of me I can’t get them removed for some reason so if someone else were to look at that portion and not know better they’d just add them, I’ve also seen people add people that I know and have completely bad info but they don’t want to hear the corrections which keeps it out there.
@@BlackHillsMommy This information really hit me hard. I lived in Piedmont and knew several families who had been there for generations. To say it touches my heart to hear about that little girl being found like she was is heartbreaking. It also makes me wonder if I knew any of the family that she belonged to. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
@Carol Ann Kilgore If you’re from the area and know older families then chances are you know, or know of, the Harringtons and I’m sure we also know some of the same people. All of this type of stuff hits home more when you know people involved. Also, you probably understand more just how rural the area is to this day and how far the family was from everything around 1900.
I've been doing ancestry for 20 years and I just wanted to comment on something you mentioned.. You said "Your dad isn't showing any German yet you know he had relatives that came from there, just remember there's no borders or politics in DNA so families might have came out of Germany but that doesn't mean their bloodline is German, the grandparents could have been Irish or French and move the family to Germany but your dad nor you would've known that, just keep that in mind.. Start looking up landing deeds, marriage, birth and death certificates..it's very important that you cross reference..Also it's extremely common for white people to have 1-2% African and vice versa, most African Americans have a percentage of Caucasian..xo

I really want to see you do the six degrees of Kevin Bacon now. I can make it in 3.
This is really interesting! Thanks for the update.
As an English person, I found this very interesting, but simply had to stop watching when there was "shame" about the Mayflower connection. Stop the ridiculous guilt tripping.
My comment regarding the Mayflower connection, is that if we go back far enough in human time, say, thousands of years, even before records were kept, there were very few people living on the planet as a whole. Earlier in our evolution, humans were known to be nomadic explorers.
We therefore at some level or another, must surely all be related to these ancient people, and ultimately therefore, to everyone else currently living on earth...
Idk why, but I've been having this urger to get this test done ever since my dad died in 2019. I know it sounds weird, but I cant shake the feeling that I have a half sibling somewhere. My dad cheated on my mom, more times than I care to mention, so it seems like a legit question. If there was, Lord knows my mother wouldn't tell me if she knew. Anyone else experienced this?
Yes. At 22, I found out & demanded to meet my 7 year old sister.
This was something I never once considered, then, not until my 40s, my dad came out and told me he had an affair before he met my mother. He knew she got pregnant. It sounds like there may have been doubt who the father was but he thought it was likely him. (From my later research I think she may have been married/separated.) She didn’t want him involved with the child and that was that. It kind of blew my mind. He kept it a secret all that time that I likely have a half sister. It is definitely weird to think she’s out there and I’d love to know the truth just like you!
I’m afraid to find all the half siblings all over the world. My father was a traveler and very handsome. I know they are out there.
Talking about half sibs I know about an older sister her lovely comments (I simply can’t be bothered in knowing either one of them)! But I’ve another, do I look or do I not? Anyone have words of wisdom for me???
Same here.
My three Irish great grandparent's came from Munster, which is where County Cork is located. At first I only knew they were Irish, but then I finally found my great grandfather's naturalization papers, which listed him being from County Cork. I'm 38% Irish and have William Brewster as my 10th great grandfather, with ties to most of the other Mayflower families.
Wait, the Mayflower connection is not something to be unhappy about. Those immigrants came here because of religious persecution. They were scrappy, hardworking, people of faith.
I agree. And not all of them where racist towards the indigenous Americans. There will always be good and bad people in about all groups.
They were also slave owners
@@MichelleLuvn25 we can’t rewrite history. We are judging based on todays mores. Mankind has enslaved, since-as far back as we know. I would bet if you go back in most of our trees we too were enslaved (some you might have to go back farther than you can prove). I submit that much of the Irish while not ‘called’ slaves were virtually slaves. The very poor have always been at the mercy of the landowners/those in power. If you really want to see injustice, look at what the immigrants to the Americas did to the Native prehistoric people.
@@barbarahill6365 "I submit that much of the Irish while not ‘called’ slaves were virtually slaves." No, the Irish were indentured servants. There's a world of difference between a slave and an indentured servant. Indentured servants still had, a modicum, of basic, fundamental human rights. Slaves, meanwhile, were considered 'property', a 'commodity', in the same fashion as a cow or a mule were considered property. You should never confuse the two terms...
@@nounnoun actually, indentured servants often had it worse than slaves. The owners whatever you want to call them knew they had a finite amount of time to ‘own’ them. They wore them out. Your slaves you had to keep healthy, they couldn’t work forever if you didn’t feed them(even bad food), clothe them and attend to their health needs. No they were creeps, no doubt. Indentured servants had many of the same problems that slaves had. They were just able to escape legally after 7 years, or however long their contract obligated them for. Yes,they were entitled to an ‘outfit of clothes’ when they left.
The decendents of horrid people, prove that THAT persons actions were THAT PERSONS choices.... The decendents commonly made other choices. Good people, and sometimes extroidinary people, Do come from horrid people too
However, following spell-check, is a personal choice... extraordinary as that may seem...
@@beforgiven9055 If there was a block, I would block you as a troll. People are sharing their intimate knowledge. It's really not yours to judge others.
Thank you for pointing out that we need to stop being hung up on ethnicity. It really doesn't matter in what country a person was born. It's the DNA that matters.
Sometimes you just run into a dead end. There’s one in my family tree where we can’t find records on this man before he moved to California. Even his death record lists people of different last names. They could have been neighbors for all we know. Many people headed West after the Civil War. It wasn’t unheard of for some to change their names.
By the way, I'm 1% African and know without question it is my 4th great grandfather.
I understood your first video without you having to explain it this time. It was clear the first time. Interesting that people didn't understand it.
the scottish percentage isn't all that surprising since they have a strong link with ireland, plenty of immigration over the centuries
I'm not fully understanding the aversion re: a Mayflower ancestor(s)......
BTW, several years ago, I recall reading that approximately 25% of USA population can claim Mayflower ancestry.
We are distant cousins. I am a descendant of Henry Howland, John’s brother. Henry is my 12th great-grandfather. Henry and another brother, Arthur, came a few years later to the Plymouth Plantation. So cool! Thank you for doing this video. It really shows you how connected we really are.
I love history (among other subjects, of course) and I have really enjoyed "sitting around the table" with you and hearing about your family history research stories. Thanks for sharing ...
☕🌄
I don't get it. what's so bad or embarrassing about being descended from the Mayflower ? People have moved from place to place. Wars have been through out world histy and the losers were losers. Someone else explain what's so terrible about the Mayflower,? I have all kinds of people groups in my history. The only types I'd be ashamed of was murdererss and vicious slavemasters Luckily for me no me have turned up yet. Still a person isn't responsible for someone else's actions and just be ause you share dna doesn't mean you will be or do the same things. We all have independent choice.
Reaching out ... My 9 times grandparents new your ancient grandparents, they were all on the Mayflower. You may know them as John Alden and Pricilla Mullins. I had know idea who my were being adopted. Ancestry proved it in 2018 for my mother and 202o for my fathers. My paternal grandmother was the link to the Mayflower!
There's no such thing as "ancient grandparents".
I know some of my 4th & 5th cousins and we still all go to family gatherings together. 💜🙂
No one should be ashamed of ancestry. You change one ancestor you do not exist.
My 1% Nigerian My Heritage gave me I have not been able to trace. I have all my ancestors through 3rd great grandparents. I do not know a couple of sets of my 4th great grandparents, so I assume though one of those lines. All I know is all my 3rd great grandparents can be found in census records before 1870 so none of them were enslaved. My dad had a lot of ancestors from Virginia. I am guessing my Black ancestor is from somewhere in there. I am not sure if they were freed and then passed as white, or if the ancestry came from an indentured servant who married a slave. Before the early 1700's that was common and there was no real stigma over those interracial relationships. The stigma came after England stopped sending indentured servants to the colonies. Which they stopped since slavery was more profitable as indentured servants earned their freedom after 7 or 14 years. I wish I could find out.
Also I plan to do ancestry because im doing a family tree. But for now, I have done 23&me and 1000+ are on my mom's side and I think less than 200 matches on my dad's side.
5/4/23: Love this! I am an adoptee who at 79 finally found my birth father’s side. My lineage is typically Scotland to Ireland, to Pennsylvania, and down the East Coast over time, with many settling in North Carolina. I waited til my adopted parents had passed away, also likely my birth parents too, before I did the Ancestry DNA test. I’m comfortable with who I have found, but often that is not the case with adoptees. The typical question is, (Them)“Who did you say you are? No, I don’t think so. Not our mother!” (Me) ‘Well…yes, your mother is also my mother.’ It took a while to get past that since I was clearly the family secret, even on both sides as it turns out. Reality began to settle in for them when I had a document search organization to send them a copy of my Original Birth Certificate (OBC). That’s enough for now.
Times were way different back then but my dad didn't get his name until he enrolled in school. And then he hated his name he's had a nickname all his life even before he went to school and that's what he went by
Thanks for being a loving and kind person ;)
New to DNA people need to start with viewing the Migration of All Humans, per DNA testing.
You migh consider posting your Migration maps for other to see.
It will open up an AhhHaa understanding to most.
John Howland and Elizabeth , Tilly are my 10th grade Grandparents# as well. Using various website, resources and family tree relationship calculators. I am connected through many Mayflower passengers, as well as multiple connections on down through all of their descendants , in multiple ways through maternal and paternal. It really can get quite confusing, but very interesting!
I just watched your video from a year ago tonight. I also found out tonight that Richard Warren is an ancestor👋
My family used 23 and me and that has worked out great. Have so many relatives and interesting stories associated with them. Best of luck in you journey. I'm like Heinz 57 a mutt French/German, British/Irish, Italian, Scandinavian, Portuguese, Spanish, Ashkenazi Jewish, and Indigenous American. So I'm a mess but a proud mess. It's fun to learn about our relatives. Enjoy the journey like I am. So far on my journey 23 and me have connected me with 5th generation relatives.
I am also descended from John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley through their daughter Hannah, through the Bosworth line to my mother. They are also my 10th GGP. Hello Cousin! I've also been doing our genealogy for a long time and also have done Ancestry DNA on all my family members. DNA definitely brings research to another level. Its a great hobby and I enjoy uncovering the stories, good or bad. Ignore the rude comments of others and keep on enjoying your hobby.
Same here!! Hi cousin! I’m also a Hannah descendant through her son Ichabod. 🤗
You probably already thought of this, but, many times family lineages are found in old Bibles.
You really need to study more history. African even thru South doesn't mean slavery. there were blacks that were free and never slaves who were here prior to and during the civil war in the south. Pennsylvania is considered south to some people and the Quakers we're anti slavery and intermarried with blacks. There were also black skinned people from England snd Ireland that were not African. North Carolina Cherokee intermarried with Africans. You need to toss out that clinginess to it has to involve slavery. maybe it does but maybe it doesn't. Finding your Roots a genealogy show hosted by a black African American professor if you watch he starts out to thinking the typical Roots the series lungs juntas version of slavery and African American history and finds that it really is only. Small part of African American History. Also those in the South during the time slavery was legalized would have the lightest or the white member of a mixed family own the others on paper. This protected them from runaway slave lawd and kept families together. How bad slaves were treated depended on the slavemaster not necesdari the owner. To be sure there were some horrific cases just much rather than most would think. Also many people came as indentured servants but we're forced to be slaves their whole lives including some Irish. Chinese we're treated as badly or worse as slaves. Even some English etc were shanghaied and we're slaves. The whole black American African American and slave history is far different than it's portrayed. btw I'd luv to know what your Kansas Nebraska connection is. I think we maybe distant cousins thru the English side and thru andy Kansas Nebraska relatives.
Pennsylvania Dutch
If we are both right, we are 9th cousins 2x removed through John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley.
Our families on both my mother’s side and my father’s side have always claimed to have Native American heritage. My mother’s father has dark skin and high cheek bones. The rumor was that my great grandfather impregnated a Native American who lived with them and worked on the ranch. People said the Native American was my grandfather’s mother. We have a picture of the family and the Native woman was holding my grandfather as an infant. He was the youngest of six.
My cousin went back to the Ozark’s to the town our family lived. He met an elderly lady who was the librarian. He asked her about my grandfather’s family. She told him she is our great aunt! She remembered that when my grandfather was a child the town called him “Indian Boy.” She thought he was Native American.
We got our DNA tested recently and there is no Native American heritage. I read an article that said it may show up in my mother’s DNA. So I had Mitochrondial testing done on my mother’s side. No Native American heritage! We do have 1% Han Chinese! And British, Eastern European, etc.
I think a lot of families have these myths about Native blood. Remember Elizabeth Warren has a similar story. In my grandfather’s case they called him
an Indian because he had black hair and dark skin. But his mother had black hair also. And he was in the sun a lot. Maybe these racist comments were passed down through the family to me and my cousins. I think these rumors are very common in whites families.
Just another example of how people gossip and don't have a wit in their heads--- just alot of hedonistic desires that they project onto INNOCENT people, such as the young Indian maid and your grandfather, in this case. All the best to you; while it's too late to mitigate that young woman's undeserved suffering and ostracism, maybe, somehow, she'll be exonerated by the truth coming out. She was merely a maid/nanny; not a mistress.
We had a Native American story also. Regular DNA did not show it but mitochondrial DNA did.
@@suzannegogranogo9464 Oh! That’s good.
@ cami... I may be wrong, but perhaps you did the wrong test as mitochondrial DNA in your mother will not pick it up. This is because mitochondrial DNA is only passed through mothers. That means your grand dad, will not have passed his mother's DNA to his daughter, your mother. Hope that makes sense.
All the best.
@@donaenoble7835 Oh! That makes sense! I need a female relative of my grandfather. . I dint think I can find one though. Maybe 23 And Me.
Bad stuff was never talked about. Also, children 2 and under were not talked about as if they did not survive birth. Mainly because many died before two years old
To get to the Grandmas’s missing sister go to 20:30
was there ever a cause of death for the little girl? if it was so cold and icy at that time (which is why she wasn't found until later in the season), she could have got lost or disorientated, found a hollow to seek a bit of protection from the elements, died of the cold then got covered over with the snow. In the video she's described as being in a shallow grave. If something was dug, then the accidental death idea doesn't fly, but I just thought that it might be a relief to realise that a more mundane but still heart-breaking little-lost-girl-in-the-snow history might match the circumstances just as well as the more dramatic one
I've wondered if it was a death by misadventure. The mother may have been away for several hours and left the older children (the 14 and 7 yr-old on the premises) to keep an eye on the younger ones. It would have been strange for her to leave the baby, who should still have been nursing.
In the other video something was mentioned about the 7 yr-old saying he let her out to go look for Papa. Maybe he did, and something happened to her before they fetched her. Or perhaps she was throwing a tantrum and one of the older kids lost patience.
The most interesting part of the story to me is if she was deliberately buried, and if so, by whom. I would believe the death was accidental, but who tried to hide her? Again, I'm thinking the older kids are a possibility.
Btw, I'm a Mayflower descendant through John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, too. And about half the passenger list. If you have Richard Warren, I'm descended from him through his children Mary and Joseph.

Is it getting a trifle incestuous in here? (In that Baker line there are 17 first cousin marriages. Third cousins for grandparents is like not even being related, lol)
I hear you on trying to find the name of the little girl that was found dead by her father. So sad for them all. Life was cruel enough as it was and plenty of people died before becoming adults too. I was puzzled why having people that came to the USA on the Mayflower was a problem, I just don’t understand.
I have a long line of history in one area that reaches before a birth in I believe it is 601 AD. I need to try to find out if my Dad had a 1/2 sibling ( if his Dad ever had another wife and family) and I am thinking that I have the best chance of finding out if I get one of my brothers to do a test. I wish we had had the internet and all the search possibilities in the 1960’s when more of the older generations were still alive. Thank you for sharing
I don't know if you know this but tons of people from the UK have viking DNA just due to how history happened so that Norway DNA you see is almost guaranteed to be viking DNA.
On the website, it's says that humility Cooper is one of my grandmothers fr9m the webb side, my grandfather's last name is finley and so is mine, but one of his grandparents is a webb so the nore I went through that line, it said I was, and also through the same line is that shakespear was my 1st cousin 15x removed or something
I love these surprise DNA findings video's.
We share John Howland and Richard Warren
Pride check? Trust me I get it, we thought my husband’s family kind of proved you could be wealthy and not a slave owner in the south. We didn’t know about the dowry and maiden lines of slavery as protection. I spent days bawling when comparing ages of women of his maternal lines and the ages of their kids ages, and their children. The wife probably had kids within months of each other and the their connection was probably half siblings as the mothers were probably half sisters. They lived together after the war intact their kids stayed neighbors for years. But at the moment all I could think was, did they team up and murder him?? He died rather early and never remarried
Norwegian and Finnish is probably the same source, via the vikings who settled in the British Isles. As far as I've understood, the modern English population has about 6 % "viking" ancestry, while closer to 16 % is common in Ireland and Scotland.
YUP!!!
Yup! The closer your ancestors lived to the Danelaw section of England, the more Viking DNA you may have.
Re that great great aunts name, something I have found in my husbands family tree. They were a VERY prolific family! I found a number of times that when a child died young the name was “reused” for a subsequent child. Almost always that name would show up again in the following generation. Could just be a thing with this family as I only found one instance of this on my side, but... I doubt that is of any use to you but I thought it was an interesting concept.. I did very much enjoy both of your videos.
Or there may have been a lingering human spirit... ie "unclean spirit" like Jesus cast out of people.
Sometimes when a name was reused, it belonged to either a well loved or well monied member of the family.
Is your family Irish? That was a pretty common practice in Ireland
@@kelly1827 I’m not sure about his family. I never got back far enough to find out and he isn’t interest in doing DNA. My family has Irish, Scottish and English on my mother’s side and English and German etc. on my fathers.
Well, we all originated in Africa
I find all of this absolutely fascinating ... and I love your attitude towards YT haters. 🤣❤️👍!
P.S. My Mother 2 Mother side, has 26+ countries going back to the 1600's with higgest match genetic famiky-matches.
This includes Sweden - Findland - Norway AND a very tiny, less than 1% Algeria. Africa.
In Louisiana, the Catholic church records are a lifeline for the descendants of the formerly enslaved. The church actually recorded the names of Blacks whereas slaveholders often did not document names. Please check those Catholic records!!!!
There were also the Barbary Pirates who ranged up and down throughout the coasts of Africa, and the shores of Western Europe, and the undefended islands of Great Britain/Scotland/Ireland. Could have come from the south, but also could have come from Ireland, or Wales, through the not so raiding parties. That’s where the Black Irish come from.
Both of my maternal grandparents were natives of Switzerland and emigrated to the USA in the early part of the 1900s. I thought I would be 50% Southern European (where Switzerland is located). But it was only 19%. I rechecked my results today. The categories have changed. I have NO Southern Europe now. LOL! And my results now say I am 50% from the British Isles (with 30% Scottish). Scottish wasn't even on my last results. I know that the migration of ancient peoples is a big part of why your DNA Ancestry is different from your Country of Origin Ancestry, but it is interesting to see those differences.
Thank you so much for all your work and effort plus honesty!
The Scottish part might be related to the Plantation Plan "forced" migration by the English, wherein Protestant Scots were relocated to Catholic Ireland in an attempt to "outbreed" the Catholic Irish. For example, my ancestry has some of that, as well. Plus, there's the whole migration within the Commonwealth.
In addition, some Irish were conscripted into the Continental Army of the British and sent to fight against the US' Colonial Army. For example, one of my Irish ancestors was so conscripted, then was captured by the Colonials and SWITCHED SIDES to fight FOR the US 👏👏 We have copies of his pension paperwork post-Revolutionary War. Kind of cool.
Anyway, have fun. There are always interesting things to find. I haven't done mine; I'm researching the accuracy of various tests, just in case.
Have you checked the genealogy database of the Latter Day Saints? They have an extensive database of genealogical connections even external to the LDS members, so you might want to check that.
I was watching a video about TriRacial Identity on TH-cam and perhaps it has to do with the portion of DNA findings from your African results. One of my ancestors is described as a Tuscarora warrior and in trying to find what that meant I think it indicates that there was a mixture of blacks, natives, etc. over time. DNA results in my family do not show Cherokee (4g gm) nor Powhatan and also we don't have the dip in the back of the skull that is Melungeon. If there was Native American, what would it be? My son (who shares no DNA with me) has 1% Aleutian--his sixth g-gm was Creek/Muskogee. I wish I knew more about this but your point about private persons is well-taken. I think my family secret also relates to a murder--in the 1850s, my 3g gm did not marry her baby daddy and all who knew are long passed. I think he was the person who donated the 3% to me and his father may have been the murderer. Her son, my 2 g gf was very handsome and had crystal blue eyes. Mysteries are so intriguing! Happy tree growing.
I found I had ancestors were on the Mayflower (Pearce & another) & some that went over not long after, then some that fought in the Continental War (War of Independence.) All of my line eventually went back to England & Scotland. I guess there would be very distant relatives in America, somewhere.
Every Caucasian person will have that 1% because that where the R1a/b Comes from about 100000 years ago. Even me.
Very interesting to hear your story! I think that the Mayflower connection is very cool--just for the fact that it indicates that your family was in America so early. You aren't responsible for ancestors' behaviors. Isn't it frustrating when you really want to know the facts, but just can't get them? I wonder if she wandered out into the cold and died from the cold. My great grandparents went out to the neighbors one night and the house caught on fire! This was the late 1800s, so who knows what was acceptable parent behavior at that time...
I just found out through DNA test, I was switched at birth at a military hospital in Munsan, S Korea during the Vietnam War. I'm so emotionally and mentally distraught. I have no where to turn to. I feel lost.
Hello cousin…. John Howland is my 10th great grandfather on my mother’s side
If you stop and take pause to consider the implications of social constructs and how negative they effect humans personally and humanity overall when we scramble, hide, lie and deceive the "natural" understanding that we are biologically and most certainly pre-determined before birth and after death, so shouldn't the paper trail reflect that? Gender AND lineage are only involved when exacerbated by another construct of society and humans like money or greed. To the people of this world ....let's stop all this bullshit putting so much emphasis on skin color and gender. Be who you are express how you feel- and look to each life and embrace the genuine beauty and love for all diversity. Love every life and appreciate being individual. The more mixture in you brings out the intrinsic richness that is indicative and reflective of true strength and beauty.
But who killed the baby girl??????
My mom’s family is from western Pennsylvania, of German descent, farmers that married their neighbors. In researching my ancestors, my tree looks more like a spider web with all the intermingling! 🕸️
I have 3 relatives that were on the May flower one was William Brewster.
Should have used whiteboard or visual. This was too hurried and rambling. I found 1/2 sister.
it is absolutely astounding the lengths people will go to - to fixate on a few percent which is noise and ignore the massive percentages which actually show who they really are....BIZARRE!
I’m late to the party I know, but have you checked birth records and census records for the little girl’s name?
For your info, your MtDNA traces back to Africa, as in does your Y chrome poo some. Human beings have been on the move for millenia. Any tests only cover more recent migrations
Funny how different people see things. I have ancestors on both sides who had slaves as well as possible Mayflower connections. No pride, no shame. I just find it interesting to learn about my ancestors.
What a racist comment that you have black roots but brush it off and said it was just a very small percentage and that your kids won’t have any of it. Shame on you.
We’re all from Africa. It’s the cradle of life. The Nephalim are the exception.
Finland - that's the Viking ancestry.
So , if you’re from cork , you’re relatives were catholic . Don’t forget you can check the churches there for information.
So many may not want to hear this but it is a fact after so many years and generations they do repurpose graves when they run out of space and there is no longer any living relatives. I’m saying this because it’s possible that the grave no longer exists now.😢
I found out my 2nd G Grandfather took his step fathers name. So my grandmothers maiden name was not correct. I know all to well about the Benin, Togo, Cameron and Bantu in my family. I believe that a GGGGGrandfather was a plantation owner in New York. I thing that is where the low percentage was from. My 5th great grandfather was Col Eleazer Lindsley. I have like 44,043 matches, 2,200 close dna and 41,755 distant matches.
The Catholic Church would surely have Baptismal records….
Only if she was baptised
@@FrozenViking110 Wouldn’t it be strange for a Catholic child of that age to not be baptized?
@@rdbare4216 Like she said, this was the wild west, she cant even find her burial.
@@FrozenViking110 It is a very odd story. I feel that a Catholic child of that age would have been baptized but it was indeed the wild west and who knows what might’ve happened to the records.
You can't help who an ancestor has zex with. While it was common for a slave owner to rape a slave, this child carried his name, so it seems to have been a legitimate relationship-- and, perhaps, with a free black? Not every black was a slave. There were free blacks, who were never slaves. You may never know. So, the situation may not have been as condemning as it may appear to be, at first glance.
I'm descended from Schrab that ended up in Texas close to San Antonio at Hocheim.
Her name would be in the family bible. So, you probably you don't have it but it is worth a look even the thrift store
Just goes to show how connected we really are across the artificial lines of race classifications and nationality.
You might want to check old property maps for family cemeteries or ones that are not there anymore. 😉
yes, i am going to correct this again. Countries are not ethnicities.
i can see your Irish eyes...i know my own kind.
You might be interested in looking into the information language origin chasers have uncovered as to where some disbursement of people’s have come out of and moved through. They have traced the movements of the Tribe of Ephraim, whose last historically recorded movement was northward away from Jerusalem... up through Syria, and Then???
Yes cork is in muster ,Are you a quilter regards from Ireland
I have found I just don’t have the patience for quilting, but I do sew a wide variety of other things as well as crochet. I’ve also found more specific info including that I belong to a heritage group from Beara and am slowly learning the nuances of certain names (I’m a Coabach Harrington, the Coabach is new to me as it didn’t carry over with my great grandpa or his family members that were here).
@@BlackHillsMommy that’s a really beautiful part of the country very wild but beautiful hopefully you will get to see it someday
I was surprised to find I have 1% Cameroon,Congo, western Bantu. My father’s side goes back to pre American revolution. My mother’s didn’t come to America until mid to late 1800’s. Positive my surprise is from my dad. Trying to get my brother to get the test done. I only wish I could have gotten my parents done before they passed away 15 and 8 years ago. But I have had matches with some of their 2nd cousins. My mom would’ve loved this as she loved a genealogical mystery.
Hi cousin! John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley are my 13x great grandparents!
I’m on Ancestry and 23 and Me
I have found the “Public News” section very helpful. We all loved gossip even back In the day lol , I think some of that might come from your Irish side. I have a tattoo to represent my Irish ancestry which I’m super proud of, but only to start the genealogy journey and imagine my surprise to find Scottish and French and my great grandparents had names of Fernando and Himez(?) census takers sometimes have rough handwriting in very uneducated areas.
Not to mention trying to interpret speech around foreign accents and missing teeth!
Spanish names were somewhat popular in English-speaking countries during the 19th c. Maybe they sounded romantic or were popular characters in books or plays. Himez was probably Ximenez, Gimenez or Jimenez (same pronunciation: H (closest English approximation) for X, G or J). I know a South American called Ximena, a female first name.
Don't know if you looked into this, but is it possible, the final resting place grave of your relative, ( the little girl), is actually on the property where she was found. It was not uncommon to have an area on one's land, where family members were all buried. Another possibility, is that, she was buried , properly where she was found. By this I mean, something simple was done, such as piling more dirt over her. You have to consider the location, and the time of year. Also, how deep was that family's pockets. Did they have the money, to have for her body, to be transported to where a funeral could be had, and more money for burial, which would have been someplace else, (another transportation fee ) in addition, there was probably a cost to open a grave, for her to be buried in. Were most people inclined to have a today type funeral back then ? I have read a lot about wakes taking place in the home, and services. Looking up what were common practices for the deceased in regards to funerals and burial practices during that time period, might be very helpful to you. Just keep in mind, how the financial status of a family played a factor, am sure in how they buried their dead.
I was under the impression that each person inherits different amounts of their ethnicities which is why full siblings show up with different results when taking a DNA test at the same time from the same place with both of the parents having taken tests to prove that they are the parents of all of your full siblings? Is that still true about DNA results?
You need to connect with your great-aunt because she may not be around that long and then you'll be sorry that you didn't
Perhaps the Catholic church might have a baptism certificate?
Thanks for the update! I'm thinking about doing a test. Seems like some family members have verbally written out family members they didn't like. My grandmother completely denied we were in any way related to her own grandmother's family on her dad's side, or the fact her mother's sister married into that family. Hahahaha! When I confronted her, she said both of them were old bats & no relation to HER! I miss that feisty old war horse!
😆 she definitely sounds like she was fun, one of my grandma’s would say things like that.
My family would call her a “hoot.”
Thus, WHY do the test to "find" so-called "lost" relatives; if they didn't keep in touch over the years/generations, maybe there's a relevant reason why?
@@beforgiven9055 Because I live in a place where I can't spit without hitting somebody related to me, and I kinda like NOT being involved in incest! If THAT'S not a good enough reason, I never heard of one.
@@beforgiven9055 Not really. It is an absolute individual societal responsibility to know who your parents are, your relatives etc. I wish I had the time to explain it all but I am not fast at all in typing. I am aware in certain communities in West Africa there are strict rules who you can marry, and taboos regarding who cannot marry. I think that was why for hundreds or thousands of years, the rate of abnormalities in the communities were low because inbreeding was rare. Until recent or modern times it was instinctive and automatic that a mother out of wedlock and family would move heaven and earth to ensure the man's family knew this is 'your son/daughter '. I believe it was forbidden not to know, also it carried à stigma not to know, it was worse I think than not being born in wedlock. The implications é. G. Who you cannot marry etc.
You’re not responsible for anyone’s actions.
