    I was in Los Angeles on business around 1999 or 2000 and my work crew and I were in a very nice restaurant late one night and Ed was sitting right behind me. He was with a woman who was on a sitcom at the time but I don't know who she was. Ed had on a pair of glasses with a scruffy beard. As I got up to leave, he looked at me and I just gave him a thumbs up. I didn't ask for an autograph, I didn't bother him and I think he appreciated that. It was pretty cool to know that Al Bundy was having dinner 6 feet away from me.

    I remember reading an interview with Christina Applegate, I believe it was in the later years of or just after MWC ended. CA was talking about how the cast became a surrogate family, and being closest to Ed. She then said that in the early years of the show, she was in a very abusive relationship, but just didn't realize it. Ed saw her try to cover up a bruise, which was difficult given that her wardrobe was a bit revealing. Ed lightly held her by the shoulders and told her she deserves better. That no one deserves to be treated the was she was being treated. CA said she broke down and started sobbing in Ed's arms. He just held her and told her to let it all out. He the told wardrobe to give her more clothes to wear (which she been asking for for quite some time) and had words with her abuser. He got that a-hole out of her life, made her feel more comfortable in the workplace, and gave her a hightened sense of self worth. CA said she will always love Ed, her 2nd Dad.
    Obviously, that story stuck with me. What a wonderful man.

    Two sons my my great great great Grandfather along with 3 brothers in law joined the Union Army though they were Southerners. Only one of them came home. They were raised in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and were of Scottish descent. Scotland had a history of being against slavery. That is why they joined the Union Army instead of the Confederate Army. I'm proud of my ancestors for doing that. At least one of their sisters would have been good as a soldier too. Their father made rifles, and one of his daughters was a good enough shot that she got to help test the rifles that her father made.

    • @greencello599
      @greencello599 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      A sad fact of our female ancestors is that not all of them were very educated, if at all. Only the ones that were in families that were extremely wealthy could send their daughters to school. Even when there were schools, not every child had a chance of an education. What was learned at home was prevalent in those cases. Reading and writing was very basic education, but not everyone could do that. Reading gained ground after Guttenberg invented his printing press. Writing was limited until that time as only royalty and clergy knew how to read and write.

      @stephanieyee9784 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      It doesn't matter if the women and girls had a formal education or not. That means little in a time when most children had very little formal education. Boys had more education than girls as they were expected to get jobs when they were about 13 or 14. Girls were taught housekeeping skills as they were to be married off.
      It is good to see Ed's g-g-grandmother was a humanitarian and helped tend wounded soldiers. The conditions would have been horrendous.
      She was obviously a courageous and good woman.

    Mr. O’Neil’s grandmother is an example of why it is a good thing for women to have rights, and to be able to serve America in the civilian workforce, all branches of government and especially the military. She proved women are strong, smart, brave and strategic. I say strategic because she obviously figured out a way to get to and from where the soldiers were and survived! Women can make right decisions about themselves and others. She helped pave the way for me to proudly and successfully serve my country. Thank you Mrs. Tyrell, and for the program!

    I've been wanting to do the ancestry thing but in a way I know it doesn't matter and I really don't care but at the same time I am curious what should I do?

      I also have a sister I can't find, she may not even be alive anymore. I'm also looking for my biological father. It's no guarantee but I think the DNA sites like Ancestry are the best bet. I found my biological father's family but I can't get in touch with any of them. I have used Ancestry family tree to trace my sister as far as I can but her mother remarried many times and her name changed a lot, I lose her in her late teen years, she would be in her 50s I think if she were alive today. I didn't know she existed until I was 17, my dad was dying of cancer and he told me he had another daughter from a shotgun wedding when he was 18. I have been looking for her ever since, I'm 34 now. I have letters and pictures but the letters stopped when she was between 8-12 years old. The last picture of her she is in some kind of motel, I believe in California. I hope someday we are both able to find our sisters, I wish you luck in your search!

    Thank you. What a patriot.
    I didn't realize KY fought for the Union. However., they never abolished slavery before or during the war. MIissorri and Maryland did at the beginning of the war.. However, MD was like DE, some people wanted/did to continue as monsters.
    2.Having the Confederates to the East and/ South of the four states was extremely harder.
    3.I wonder if and how many KY men fought for the Confederates. . History notes a good number of MD and DE men did.

      Four times as many Kentuckians fought for the Union as fought for the Confederacy. Unfortunately, Kentuckians seem to have forgotten that, as there are Confederate flags all over the state these days.

    The area between Ohio and Louisville was NOT a war zone, it was well behind the lines and other than Morgan's 45 day raid through IN, OH and WV, they were not under constant threat or worry. Not sure where in Ohio his ancestor lived, but if she could get to a bigger city, she could catch trains pretty easily to Louisville! And as to travelling further south to southern battlefields to tend wounded soldiers, again, this would be behind the lines with the Union Army hospital corps and she would have not been in much danger from confederate soldiers. Her biggest danger would have been disease.
