Finding out my two times great grandmother was a Irish famine orphan was a revelation and I like to think I’ve got her resilience . My great great grandparents Ludwig and Elisabeth were one of the German couples that James McArthur brought to australia this is the start of Australian viniculture
I was in my fifties when I discovered the man on my Birth Certificate wasn't my biological father. I felt like my whole sense of myself was a big lie. I wish I had a show like this that researched non-celebrities.
You cut the more interesting part of the Joe Manganiello episode. It was interesting to see his German relative in his mother’s side (whose other decendents were Nazis officers) but on his father’s side not only did he was not related to his Manganiello granfather, but his actual grandfather was a mixed race man. Manganiello’s great grandfather was black. But it was even more incredible that they were able to trace than paternal ancestor back to his actual African ancestor, who was freed and later served in the Continental Army during the revolution. Thiose are both highly rare; finding an actual Revolutionary War veteran ancestor, and even more rare, tracing a black ancestor back to the ancestor who actually came from Africa. Here they found both in the same person.
That’s very cool and interesting. Do you have any others?
is your name a nod to Field of Dreams?
My great great grandmother divorced my gg-grandfather back in the 1880s. After that, he got drunk and went hunting for them (ex wife and children) in overgrown Kansas farmland, threatening to kill them. He was arrested, and moved into a boarding house in Chicago where he lived until he died (like being run out on a rail, I'm guessing). They had his body shipped back to "make sure he was damn sure dead" and after he was buried, someone removed the brass nameplate on his grave, so for decades his gravesite was lost.
My ggggrand uncle was the youngest member of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
That is cool
I’ve always been into history and learning more about where we come from. Sometimes it can be difficult to discover the truths but also a rewarding opportunity to share light on someone else’s journey that eventually led to you.
I found one ancestor I'd never want to be left alone with tbh. Some of the structures he built are pretty cool and even still standing centuries later (like I could actually go tour some of them), but he was a notoriously awful little man. A lot of his exploits were pretty well documented and so was his relationship with his first wife, who I just feel so sorry for omg
My mother’s family has a book with all the names of our ancestors that traces us back to the original farm we came from in 1670 in the Shenandoah Valley. My father’s family goes back to Alexander Hamilton. I am a daughter of the American Revolution.
How special.
I remember watching the Jeff Danials episode and having a very visceral reaction to it. Being a descendent of one of the victims of the witch trials (my ninth great-grandmother is Rebecca Nurse) I’ve long been curious about the reactions of those who discover ancestors who were accusers. It was very interesting to see.
Sara Jessica Parker’s ancestor was wrongly accused of witchcraft.
Pocahontas is my grandmother too, the Native American tribe is called wicocomico, my uncle researched our family tree!
I need to use one of these ancestry sites because I'm Afro, Italian, irish, and possibley native American.
Eres Argentino?
Yes. Do a DNA test. Check out various sites, cuz some go deeper than others. What an interesting heritage you have!
My paternal grandfather was related to General Benedict Arnold by marriage. He was also connected to actress Katherine Hepbburn, also by marriage. My maternal grandmother was/is the great-granddaughter of a woman who had two illegitimate children and two husbands. It was family tradition untl last year, when two distant cousins paid for a DNA test for my great-uncle. I am now the genealogist regarding both of my parents' sides.
Mandy Patinkin not being included surprised me. It was a gut-wrenching episode.
I do a lot of genealogy research and I'm related to the Cash family.
Like Johnny Cash? 😮
@haven_lady675 Yes ma'am I don't remember exactly how but I'm a distant cousin on my dad's side of the family. I'm also related to his wife's family the Carter family and I'm related by marriage to the country singer Johnny Russell Johnny Russell was a first cousin to my second cousin 1× removed that is 86 she is still alive on my mom side of the family.
His ancestor accused my 10th maternal grandmother of witchcraft and she was executed on 09/22/1692 . RIP Mary Ayer Parker
😂
Descendant of Martha Carrier here. Witch blood forever. 💖
I've always wondered about my ancestors. I know some of my paternal grandparents are from Germany. Love this program.
We love you Wes Studi 🫶🏽
Same here. Want to be friends?

He played some of the scariest antagonists, yet he seems so kind in interviews. He is quite a convincing actor.
@alioh7615 I’m a girl. What do you mean?
They could have left Lena Dunham off this one…
Why???
She’s a dark family reveal in her own right..

Happy monday night, Phoebe, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
Descendant of King Edward 3rd of England. Still looking into how far my ancestry goes.
I looked into my ancestry and i'm related to my mom, brothers, and my dad. Wild stuff.
I wonder how much research they can do on my ancestry. I’m 80% indigenous American, in Mexico to be exact. But there’s VERY little paper trail due to the Spanish colonizers. I tried for years to find family past my great grandma but it’s hard.

Seriously, that's so FUCKING sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 1:00
so much pain spread throughout the world by these doctrines that are still so pervasive to this day. my grandparents were holocaust survivors with most of their family killed in camps, and the trauma and the fear and the pain are generational. my line will end with me, because i cant bear to bring children into such an evil world. It's crippling to know how easily you and your entire family could be obliterated simply for existing...
I totally understand your reasoning for making that decision, I never wanted to bring children into this world either 😢
My granny didn't fully know when her birthday was, she thought it was either the 11th or 14th of November. Shortly after she past away my uncle found out that both of those dates were wrong and she was actually born 11th October 1925!! Lol another thing he found out that my great granda (her father in law) was an old-time IRA member long before my granda was born. The other side of my family (my daddy's side) I don't know alot about, apart from that my granny was related to the hunger striker Kevin Lynch, the Guildford 4 and the Maguire 7. I don't know anything about my Granda Lynch other than what I've heard from his family about him, (he died when I was 9) but nothing about his ancestry.
She was Edward Norton's 12th great grandmother. Interesting but not too genetically significant. After all, Ed Norton has 8,192 12th great grandmothers...we ALL do. An individual's genetic footprint shrinks very quickly as generations pass.
My great great grandmother was a slave she was freed when she was eight years old
I really need to research my family. I knew my great grand morher and my great great grandmother both died within the last 4 years. My nana can't really trace back the history of our family. My aunt is native American and African American. My mom is Hispanic and African American and creole. Im creole and african american. My sister is islander (dont know specifically which) and african american. My brother is japanese and african american. Like... where did we come from? That 23 and me is so expensive.
yall brainnwashed blacks in america are not african weare indians no africanswere slaves here got proof that they been lying to us for almost 124 years
I discovered that my father had been married before he married my mother.
I found out that my grandfather isn't my DNA match. Meaning he is only the man who was married to my grandmother not my father's father.
The people who take credit or blame for the actions of their ancestors are fools.
@cosaosa No, that makes them human!!!
@@bwenluck9812 exactly. They're just highly empathetic.
why so mad?
That includes material and financial assets too, right??? Can't take the spoils and not the responsibility for how they were gained..
Johnny Cash marrying and having kids with a black woman at that time. I knew he was a G.O.A.T
On my 56th birthday I was told I had a long lost sister. Thanksgiving of that year I texted her for the first time. Since then we have texted constantly and I will be seeing her and my brother in law in a few days. The only downside (lol) is that of the half dozen eggs, I'm the only one cracked!
🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️✌️
Happy monday night, Phoebe, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as
I found out I'm related to Jeffrey Dahmer, Lizzy Borden and Joseph Stalin so I just came out of the closet this week and registered as a Republican...

Hey y'all 😮
Yeah, well, this appeal to heartstrings might work with young people under 30. The rest of us just see it as the things that happened over 100 years ago. Farther back, we all have horror stories in our families. The word "slave" comes from the Muslim word for "Slavic people" and my ancestors were enslaved by Islam. Where are the reparations? I say let bygones be bygones for anything before 1970. Good only for historical analysis. Don't get too emotional or it will cause division. But the far-left extremists want to cherry pick certain "atrocities" to remember today. I found the history wonderful. I really think we should end welfare payment to mothers. Instead, the government should take the children and raise them in public institutions where every kid is considered equal. Stop paying poor people to have more babies. The old days had it right. Instead of welfare, give them work on the roads, bridges and infrastructure. No kids to worry about.
Melenials proving that they think that the world revolves around them, I didn't think anyone could have a low iq until I read this comment 😁😁😁 and just cause YOU don't care about ur ancestry doesn't mean others don't
@Ryan You need to get out more!
Melenials try not to be miserable challenge go.... and u failed
the transatlantic slave trade was the worst in history since it was based off of SKIN COLOR, u snow flakes get so triggered by the word slavery it's hilarious, by telling balck ppl to get over slavery is like telling Jewish ppl to get over the holocaust or 9/11 survivors to get over that traumatic day or native Americans to get over the genocide that has happened to them, and I thought u didn't care for ur ancestry but all of sudden ur ancestors were slaves😂😂😂
I agree with some of your response (all families have seen horror), and I also agree that a minority of people aren't happy with any group's acknowledgement of bad behavior, or apology; wanting more from a perceived aggressor in the form of reparations. We forget that all of us have experienced (at one time or an other) aggression for trying to start life in a new country. I feel that N America is full of immigrants and I can guarantee every one of those immigrant groups went through some form of prejudice, or unwanted attention, and unfairness , Every group!
So who, exactly, should be paying reparations, and to whom, and who determines which parties are involved? Then, who determines which group pays, and which groups should receive?
The best reparation we can offer each other is to actually pay attention and understand our questionable past actions, and how we got to here, Then we vow to NEVER repeat history, again.
...you think children should be taken from their mothers and raised in public institutions because of MONEY and you think the "far left" are extreme? 😂 You have NO perspective at all 😂😂😂
