And still people want to just brush under the rug the tremendous suffering and trauma African American slaves went through for hundreds of years.
The reason the true slaves suffered is because Slaves and Slavery was Inside a Military Entity and they served Under Military Orders from on high. Many didn't want to Obey Military Laws.
The True Slaves had been stripped of Their Birthrights of Citizenship and Inheritance Rights in Their Country of Origin. They couldn't bring their family name with them.
They had to serve 76 years before they could be given Freedom. Then they had to Wait 33 to 40 more years before The Freedman Persons abd their babies "born free" could be Adooted into a Military Officer Family and be Given the Surname of The Former Slaveowner.
The People Who Served as Slaves to Tribes were Post War Assignment Workers. They had to serve 76 years before Freed. Then they had to be Free for 33 to 40 years before being adopted into Tribe abd being given "Tribal Citizenship By Adoption."
When a slave served as a slave they had Only a One Word Name til a Former Slaveowner adopted them and gave them His Surname.
You have to look farther back on the Gardber surname to find the former slaveowner who gave Freed Slaves the Gardner name
Nothing new!
Strange way to pronounce her name. We pronounce like Keer rah.
Slavery actually continued, and still continues.
ya'll are so goofy. The fact that most black americans think like you is why you will perpetually be at the bottom, while black immigrants from Africa and elsewhere rise above, even white, Americans.
Imagine if those people were given what they deserved monetarily!!! They’d had incredible generational wealth. This is the reason why even today the playing field is not leveled.
very true!
This is painful to hear, but so deathly important to know. There are some things we could do as a country to help healing. We could have an amendment to the constitution that officially apologizes for the atrocity of slavery. Slave days are still historically recent, and there are no scars-they are open wounds.
How about a new $10 bill that features Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? That currency could be patterned after the stunning yellow 500-Peso bill of the Philippines. That near-prophet of a man has not yet been sufficiently honored. In God’s economy, blacks will be grandly compensated, for they are His people. Mark this word. Thanks so much brother Gates and Ciara.
Apologise to who? They’re dead
@@westaussie965 Hold on there, Aussie friend.
_It lives in legacy._ How does it affect people when their _families_ endured lifetimes of unbelievable degradation and loathing - both during and after slavery? We have a responsibility to help heal and make good. To refuse that is to be complicit with the atrocities, I think. G’day, good brother.
Valuing farm work and production using enslavement and then using ways to ensure “others” are still abused is still affecting millions today, while we eat.
@@edreynolds8721 You really typed that. Wow. Ok.
@@edreynolds8721 sometimes it’s a great idea to consider a shift in your paradigm- this is one, Ed. 👀
@@edreynolds8721yes if it means that other people aren’t being exploited, abused and enslaved. You wouldn’t be saying that if it meant you or your family were the chosen ones to be enslaved. demonic
Discovering our ancestors can change our lives, but facing and owning up the transgressive dehumanization they experienced, will transform humanity and give them (ancestors) a profound moment towards humanity. It might not even involve money. There should be a discussion to openly talk about what happened and be willing to go through the emotions to be forgiven and forgive.
They’re dead. Move on
@@westaussie965spoken like a descendant of the British colonial massacre of the abos
Boring didnt read
New form of slavery! So sad.
"It makes you also appreciate them". THAT is the most powerful part of learning where we came from. Whether our ancestors had horrible trials or not, it makes us a part of who we are. Can you imagine how proud her ancestors would be of her accomplishments.
Zimmerman is a Jewish surname.
Zimmermann a german name
Thank you Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. You are the ultimate teacher! ♥️🙏🇺🇸
Sorry tough year! No profits! Heard that many times before working for a defense contractor. Just like they did to her GGF. Never stopped!
“We didn’t have to go through this” 💔 slavery is something heartbreaking. I h8 YT people lmao
it makes you appreciate ciara even more seeing her evolution as a mom artist and businesswoman tracing her roots.
Hi, Ali. Thanks for your comment. We want you to know that we are sponsors for the show and there is research for people of all backgrounds and family heritages. In fact Finding Your Roots is doing research for 3 non-celebrity people on April 9th. We hope you'll tune in.
I like to see the show for various reasons.
Did you know that the country here was set up like the kingdom lands, by survey measures ?
Also it's comparable to the Wording of The King James Bible.
They were Militsry Families.
Each 1st Name is a Military Officer Rank Title with a Militsry Officer Occupation to it.
Each Family used a Set of 1st Names for their children like the Royalty Families do.
Daniel (+surname) was a Militsry Spy.
Samuel (+ surname) was a Doctor + Judge
Mary (+maiden surname) was a Virgin Mary Girl when she married. It put purity in the lineage.
Martha (+maiden surname and former married nane) was a Widow with Children when she became wife to another military Officer.
Sarah 1st name from Bible ( no surname)
Was Wife of Abraham.
Adam ( no surname ) named or renamed a firm of life. It was his occupation and responsibility.
John ( no surname) was the only Officer who could be an Influencer to lead people into believing in living a different type of life. He was only one who was permitted to Baptize the Officers before and after they had done a tour of duty.
It has Scientific Basis to it. The baptism would wash away the unclean Aura and Replace It with a Clean One, when they would be baptized in a River of Flowing Water which has Everlasting zlife in it.
The Aura had to be Powered so, on the Riverbank stood all the Persons who possessed Lesser Level Mentslity. They possessed Pure Love. LOVE conquers All Things.
There was a meal served after the Baptism. The persons with disabilities had brought Loaves abd fishes. It was their Officer Responsibility to do.
They were Asdociate Officers. They carried God's Love. LOVE Conquered All.
The person who was Baptized couldn't Carry War Stuff to his Home & Family. And he couldn't carry his Family Aura into the Battlefield so he had to be baptized before and after a tour of duty.
GOD'S POWER IS IN THE AURA that surrounds a form of life all time.
The Creation of a New World, and putting everything into place was the Making of an Almanac. Took 7 days.
I will be featured on this program one day....
Ciara is pronounce Ceera in Ireland,
How can regular people get on the show ?
ty.. so important to know this heart breaking information. And remember. This was in America. The land of the free.
Reparations are owed
She has white in her too guaranteed
..to those who experienced slavery, not to those who never worked for free one day in their lives.
The ancestor had already been Adopted into a Gardner Family surname
Ciara is so beautiful and smart
As a slave, u didn’t even kno YOUR OWN BIRTHDAY 😤😡🥺, Also, the contract her ancestor signed, was known as “sharecropping”…and NOW, we ALL call it corporate sharecropping, or to those still in willing illusionment, employment 😑
I’d like for Mr. Gates to help me discover my roots. 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching Finding Your Roots, Dr. Tselane. We hope you’re enjoying season 10 so far. Our hope is that by showing inspiring stories via videos and social posts, all our members can find inspiration and research tips to use within their own research. In addition to having many celebrity guests, this new season also features three lucky non-celebrity guests chosen from a contest last year. We don't know if PBS will run such a contest again, but you may keep an eye out across our social media pages in case this is announced later on. However, we would not be in a position to offer free family research for all our members unfortunately, but you can use the tools we offer on our website to research your own family history. Our subscriptions start from $24.99/month, which will give you access to many historical records and our family tree program directly from your computer at home. We can recommend the following article for an overview of what to expect from an Ancestry membership: support.ancestry.com/s/article/What-to-do-with-an-Ancestry-Membership. We appreciate your interest in exploring your family history and hope this is helpful!
I would love him to help me
Thank goodness for the Union Army and the defeat of the confederacy. Farming is always brutal.
That was always going to happen. They weren't fighting because of humanitary reasons. It was about profit ; the north was more industrialized and the south was more slave driven and farming. Most of the slave states wanted to succeed. This is why they had their "president" Jefferson Davis they wanted to be a different country than the US. Will the north wasn't having that so they had this war this is why during the gilded age after the Civil War the north was pain close to 40% more in wages and the south was still in shambles and hasn't fully recovered.
That was the Union Army, but the United States Army crushing a rebellion here in this country.
HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER EVERYONE WAS TREATED LIKE TOTAL GARBAGE BACK THEN, MINERS WERE ONLY GIVEN COMPANY MONEY THAT THEY COULD SPEND AT COMPANY SHOPS
Thank you for sharing. 💔💖

But the state of Florida wants to just forget this ever happened.
How do I find the full episode
Hi, Yjuania . For information on watching the full episode and more, please visit: www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your-roots

The male Ancestor because of the Gardner surname
So after doing this and say you find out about brothers or sisters you never knew you had how would you connect with them?
Hi there, Mrs Hudson, and thanks for reaching out to us. We would be happy to advise further on this.
When a member takes our test, they are provided with a list of their DNA matches. You can thenr each out to those matches via direct message and connect with potential close family this way.
We hope this helps!
Ciara is an Irish name pronounced Kira
😥
Were her reactions to this weird to anyone else or just me?
Me too
And she is?🤷🏼♀️
Better known as the wife of NFL Quarterback Russell Wilson
@@shaunstrasser1she’s an artist in her own right, plenty people outside of the USA have no idea who her husband is. He’s known as the husband of Ciara
She has white in her too you can tell
yeah and?
Most African Americans have white in them whether they are dark skin or light skin. Your point?
She looks like many West African Nigerian Yoruba women I've seen though, but all Black Americans have white ancestry duh.
@@windsurfer8824right. Like I’m just trying to understand what they needed to say that for. She looks very Fulani to me
It's a bit of an assumption that those on the contract were not paid. Often they were share croppers. I'm sure many were not paid but maybe not everyone suffered that
lol
Guaranteed she has white in her to that's just one branch of dna
@@jadcock1023why do you keep commenting that, it’s weird. Many African Americans have white in them and it’s because of the monstrous things that happened to trafficked enslaved Africans by their European enslavers.
That’s exactly what he said- they were share croppers but they never got a share of the crops and it was rare to get anything. Most were indebted, living in the slave shacks they had been in before “freedom”. Just a different form of slavery.
Making 1 person feel entitled per view.
Making one more European- American irrationally angry anytime they hear “slavery” or “black” ❤
