 Good morning. Yeah, Betsy is climbing mountains out in the Rockies and she posted a picture this morning of her trail out the mountain and no thank you. No, no, no, no. How are you? How is everybody? Y'all doing good? Doing well. Doing great. Greg Clark, as you're Robinson are here with me. I'm Mags Golden and this is a Saturday morning live cast. We are alive. We're live. We're live. And we have lots of fun things to do. I do want to point out something that Chris Whitten did a post this week about diversification on WikiTree. I thought it was so on the mark about how WikiTree is the product of its volunteers and how the volunteers have different areas and interests and how I really don't see WikiTree as just American centric because I live in Canada. And my goodness, we have two Canadian hosts here this morning. I don't see WikiTree as American centric, but I do know that we have there's a lot of European ancestors around the world. And so there's lots of European type stuff. But you're interested. I don't know if you can find that and put that link up for us. That's a really good post he did about how WikiTree has grown from a very core group of people to something so much bigger. We really, really are worldwide. We really are as is evidenced in our what am I going to bring up now? Question of the week maybe. Yeah, there we go. Which is fun because there's answers in here from all over the world, which really speaks to the fact that WikiTree is so worldwide. And I talk about that in my talks that WikiTree is such a big global family tree. It's such a big wide world tree. Question of the week is have you found something surprising? Have you ever found anything surprising in your tree Azure? Oh yeah, lots of surprising things. Oh, that sounds like that's something you don't want to talk about. I actually do need to do a video about this, my mother's grandfather. She didn't know who he was. We thought it was this guy. Turned out it was this guy. He was just going by of alias, so yeah. There's a lot of those this morning. There are. And Greg, what about you? Any big surprise? I think though one of the biggest surprises I found was doing research on my biological family. And I found there was this one distant cousin who showed up and her birthplace was like here and there was a marriage record at the church I went to and turns out that led me to discover that my biological side on my adoptive side are actually cousins to each other. So I'm related to myself twice. That's like at the talking Houston Peter's sure you're land was talking about how he was working with these two adoptees and they ended up that the the children of these adopt of these two people were engaged. They had to break off the engagement. They were the children of the to the birth in that crazy. Yeah, that's a little close to home. That's we have lots of great great great things in our question of the week. This is one of the ones I loved. I just discovered this is from Tommy Bach. Tommy, you in the room? Tommy. Tommy, yeah. I just discovered I have a second great grand aunt Elizabeth Sarah Elizabeth Baker that lived for 103 years. So surprising if you have a short life spent and you find somebody that lives 103 I have a I have an ancestor lived 114 Yes, no way. Yes, I did. Wow. And it's in the newspaper and everything according to the obituary. She has 73 grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren and of course, she married a baker. Baker so fun. Thank you, Tommy. That's great. Both these azures azures up voting them as we talk getting a run on to another one. Here's a fun one. Read that for us, Craig. Oh, no. I can't This is from Zora Novak and what he says here is that he discovered not enough information. He was looking for information on his half brother. There's you know, some interesting connections there, but he didn't find what he was hoping to find but I'm giving you big looking Zora and I hope you find your half brother in the future. Okay, so you must have translated that with Google translator or something. No, of course not. It's Slovenian. Yes, I did do it with Google translate. I did. And is it Slovenian then or Polish? It was Slovenian. It is Slovenian. Okay. I figure this is a cousin of Lash's maybe. I have no idea. So nobody had commented on his post. So it's so easy to drag to truly to take something out and put it. It's so easy these days. I know have the ability to do that. AI can identify the language and figure out what it says. So I talked to answer this comment there. Let's go on to the next one. I have queued up. Let's see. Oh, yeah, people were talking about how they had relatives who were really, really, really rich. So Jeffrey Tobin here has one of the Rockefellers murdered his wife according to a Wiggy Tree distant cousin of mine who's given name and surname are the same as my first love who was Chinese. So I don't understand quite what that means. But the Rockefellers are descended from the kitchens who are from my mother's family from Cornwall. So okay, there's that connection. I knew that two cousins of my mother's married American servicemen during World War War II moved to their home country. I recently was contacted by a granddaughter of one of those cousins. Her given name is the title of one of my favorite songs, but of course he's not going to tell us. No. Jeffrey. What could it be? Could be Mandy. Could be Lucille. Was there a surname, right? No. Or was it surname? So her given name. Or Roxanne. Roxanne. Let's see. So Jack McDonald Hilton he says I was surprised at how many royal and noble lines I'm associated with. When you start making those connections on Wiggy Tree, we were doing that before we came on air. We were looking at the connections of the week seeing who we were connected to and who our real cousins were behind those degrees. So yeah, you can find royal and noble connections. I like this, this short and sweet one. Larry Vertimann says Audrey Vertimann Auslander was an American poet. She was the youngest winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry at age 24. How fun is that? That's pretty cool. Let's run right on over here. Kathy Brier. That's how we would say it in Canada. Maggie May. We've got lots of people. Yeah, that's Jolene. Maggie May. Let's see. My eerie cousin now that's not a scary cousin. It's not capitalized but I'm just assuming it's eerie Pennsylvania. My eerie cousin and our grandmother are a witch. So maybe it is scary. Maybe it is scary. I'm the eighth cousin twice removed from Vincent Price. What surprised me was when I looked at our common ancestor who tended to have to be Rebecca Town Nurse. She was accused of witchcraft, tried and hanging Salem. Thank you to Wiggy Tree for finding that I'm a witch. No, you didn't have to say that. I'll be seeing he says underneath in a previous Wiggy Tree Challenge I found that Rebecca Town Nurse was a direct ancestor of San Francisco author Louis McMaster or Lois McMaster Bujo is also one of what's that? Sci-Fi. Sci-Fi, not San Francisco. Not San Francisco. I mean she may live in San Francisco but when you talk about an SF sci-fi author doesn't mean she didn't live in San Francisco. Biscuit. You haven't had your biscuits yet this morning, Megs. Thank you, joke. Thank you, joke. You guys keep me sane. Keep me honest. The other thing I said to as this morning is why do people put novella in the question of the week? You don't have to put a novella in and she said maybe they just want to talk. And I was like, oh my god, stop it. That is so right. People just want to talk. That's cool. So Robin Tracy always knew that I had a strong character. So Robin Tracy always knew that I had a strong Irish roots as my paternal grandparents came to Australia on their honeymoon. I grew up and I grew up with many tales from my dear mama about her life and with her family in London Dairy. Mama did not realize that she was not just on a trip to Australia and would never return to her family in Ireland. Is that like heartbreaking pulliers or something? I just thought that was just so sad I wanted to share that. She talks about how wonderful the lives were and all of that. So that's funny. Proud she found them. What a crazy story. People who do those kinds of trips make sacrifices so that can be yours. That's pretty cool. But first I was very surprised to have American ancestors dating back to before the American Revolution. My cousin joined the DAR and always thought my grandparents were fresh off the boat. And interesting that this is from Patty Ellis. I'm sorry it's just a coincidence that her name is Ellis like Ellis Island right off the boat. I had to bring Greg in on that. Yeah I didn't make that connection. John Howard Payne from Rob Glover my surprise is that on my paternal line I'm connected to each and all of the Mayflower immigrants through John Howard Payne. Was he the progenitor of the Mayflower group? And also through John... I didn't think it was one family. Yeah I'm connected to all but one of the American presidents but one is Lenin B. Johnson on my paternal line. Somebody needs to figure that one out for me. John Howard Payne. So did he have a big family and they all married into all the other families? Oh maybe. They weren't all connected. They weren't all related. I didn't think they were. I didn't think they were at all. But it wouldn't be good if they were all connected. It would not be good if they were all connected. But if it's small enough you'd have to go to each of the other doors to knock, you know. Down the trail or whatever. Let's see and a couple more here. One of the biggest surprises is from Von Niven. I've discovered in my research is a distant cousin who has what I believe to be one of the most unusual names in the English speaking world. He has been to all 416. His registered name at Berth was Cyclone Cape Dove Four Bells Gorn Bindol. It doesn't even roll off the tongue. Who was that? What were they talking about? Cyclone Cape Dove Four Bells Gorn Bindol. What is that all about? Really? What's it? Was he born at 4 o'clock? Was there a cyclone at the Cape? It was there a cyclone at Cape Dove and they were ringing four bells at four in the morning. Yeah. But Gorn, I can't figure out the Gorn. I mean... Well, when you hear Gorn, the first thing I think of is the Star Trek episode when Captain Kirk had to fight the Gorn. Oh yeah! On that same rock on the same rock they've used in every other planet. I have to do a shout out. Mary Sleppy. Hey Mary, I saw you come in a long time ago and Mary and I had a dinner together in Houston. We did. Mary was in Houston as well? Yes! She followed you from Baltimore to Houston? Well, I don't know if she actually followed me. We asked her to come and have dinner with her which was fun. Let's see. And that is... This one is... I mean, everybody... This is so common now. From High Sanders I hope I'm saying that right. I have two big ones. First, via DNA I found out that my biodad was someone else. Wow! Second, I found that one marriage put me in Sally Heming's family tree. My great aunt married the two or three times nephew of Sally Heming. She was an enslaved person that lived and worked for Thomas Jefferson. And he was the baby daddy of all of her children. And that has recently been a big research project that's been proven. So, knowing that you're connected to that, that's pretty big. That's pretty serious American history. And then anonymous Harris is funny that anonymous is telling us that I have people that changed their last name maybe because they didn't like it. Anonymous is telling us that harm. A little ironic there. Oh, that's funny. To balance Max Biscuits, Greg gets Fabanachi. You should wear your Fabanachi t-shirt. Yes, yes. So that happened during WikiTree Day. People started writing Fabanachi in the chat. It was my business. Little do you know we love Fabanachi on the morning. We talk Fabanachi numbers. That's all we do is we talk Fabanachi numbers all day long. That is the question of the week. Wow. That's it. Well, you already sort of led us into the we're talking about connections and so the connections this week are all political families. Which political family are you most closely related to? We have a whole pile of them. Because coming up this week is the 60th anniversary of the assassination of course US President, John F. Kennedy. November 22nd. Which is an important day in our family because our youngest son was born on November 22nd. And we like to think of that day as the feast of Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music. As opposed to the much more tragic event that happened that the rest of the world thinks of that date for. Right. But it's always an important date in our family. But probably not for the same reason that many others. So I'm just going to I've got some of these lined up. So the first is not in the same order they were here. These are sort of random orders that I must have clicked on. So the first Azure, I see somebody says we need Fibonacci t-shirts. I have a Fibonacci t-shirt design that I will give to wiki tree. I will make it a wiki tree that I do. That's awesome. Yeah. Very cool. So the first one is the first one I pulled up here is Megawati, Setiawati, I think you missed. I might have missed a syllable. Megawati, Setiawati, I'm so impressed. That's awesome. I did practice this one and I went on YouTube to get the pronunciation. So now, of course, they could have lied to me, but I think that's how you pronounce her name and I will not read it in I will skip down to the English as opposed to the Indonesian biography. So, usually shortened to Megawati, Setiawati, Setiawati, Megawati, Setiawati, and it was an Indonesian politician served as president from 23rd of July, 2001 to October 20th in 2004, leader of the Indonesian Dementocratic Party of Struggle, the PDIP, one of the largest political parties and the daughter of its first president, Sukarno. So there's the dynasty or the political, the political family. Her father was a president and she herself is a president. She's been Indonesian's only female president ever and only the fourth woman to lead a predominantly Muslim nation. Wow. There's a lot of predominantly Muslim nations. I mean, there's lots of nations in the world, right? And there's a number of them that are predominantly Muslim, but having only four women ever to have led one, that's a pretty rarefied group to be part of. Also, the first Indonesian leader to be born after Indonesia proclaimed its independence from the Netherlands as they were once a part of. And she was vice president before she came president when the former president was removed from office and it goes on there. So there we have her. Oh. What about you? 41 degrees, you have to go pretty far to make the connection. How many for you, Hazer? 36. How many for you, Max? Uh, yeah. Let's see. I am for her, I gotta find her. 36, yeah. Okay. Next we have Tim Berg, who is from Norway. Norwegian politician who served as the secretary general of NATO since 2014 and was formerly prime minister of Norway between 2001 and then again 2005 to 2013. And I've got this little side panel open here because it also talks about. So he was the prime minister of Norway once, but his father, Thorvald, you know, let me do this. Let me do that. So I can read more. Now I've lost my spot here. Oh, his father, Thorvald, was also a minister of foreign affairs and numerous other ancestors, uncles and cousins were startings and representatives members of the parliament, mayors and other officials. Wow. 24th cousins three times removed from me. Wow. 25 for you? 25 for me, yes. Going as far back as Erzibet Magyar, so I guess it's a Hungarian connection. Wow. And I have a 28th grandfather Polsky. Wow, I didn't realize I had connections back in what Poland or Hungary or where were these ancestors are from? Let's just check that out. Hungary, yes. And from Poland. Wow. Their last names did actually point to exactly where they came from. I did not realize that I had any relations in Poland or Hungary. Well, we knew that. You guys knew that. Well, there we go. You learned something new every live cast. You're presenting it. Then we have Eva Perron. We're not going to sing the whole musical for you here. I do have a cute up. Don't cry for me. Argentina. I can't. You don't want to get taken down for copyright infringement either though. Yeah, that was less than right. Okay, there we go. Maria Eva Duarte Perron born in Los Toldos, Argentina and died tragically at 33 from cancer, I believe. 26th of July, 1952 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. First lady and she was born, the fourth child born to Juana Iba Grün and Juan Duarte all illegitimate. So does that mean that she was illegitimate because her parents weren't married to each other and both of her parents were illegitimate? I don't know. Do you think that's what it means? So if I click on Juan pretty scarce there. It says he's married but it doesn't say a date or anything. So do you know that she had an interesting issue with her? Well, I guess she didn't because she was dead. She had an interesting issue with her corpse. Yeah, remember we were talking about the Hollywood where they stole somebody's body after they were alive. Three years after Eva Perron's death, 60 years ago her embalmed corpse disappeared. It was removed by the Argentinian military in the wake of a coup that deposed her husband Juan Perron. And then it went on a global odyssey for nearly two decades. Wow, that is Wow. So is that the rainbow tour they talk about in the musical? Yeah, that's funny. Only you would remember that, Greg. Oh, Greg, I think Lisa is answering your question. All siblings are illegitimate. Yeah, that makes I think I remember that but of course, not only was she the first lady, the prime minister of president of Argentina, but of course her husband was as well Juan Perron and apparently his other wife. Wow. So that's interesting. So there we go. Eva Perron. Benjamin Harrison, the fifth. My closest. Your closest. Ah. My closest real cousin. Real cousin. Okay. He's my seventh cousin. Through my lords. Through your lords. Oh, my lord. Oh, my lord. Oh, your lord. I should say not my lord, your lord. My lord. And as your he must be similarly close to you as well. Eighth cousin, nine times removed. Yeah. I'm a little bit more distant. I need your closest connection though at 14 degrees. As always. Yeah. And your closest is Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Yes. Yeah. So governor general. He was a governor. Benjamin Harrison he was. Governor general. Governor general. He might have been a general and he might have been a governor, but he was probably not a governor general. That's a Canadian. Now I'm thinking pirates of France. Yes. Do do do do do do do do do. Not fast for. So he was born he was born in 1726 in the Berkeley Plantation in Charles County City County. Charles City County. Yep. That's interesting. In Virginia and passed away also in Virginia. He's he's the ancestor of us president vice president. So he was a governor and both his let's here we are his son was the ninth president of the United States and his great-grandson that was William Henry Harrison and then his great-grandson Benjamin Harrison was the 23rd president of the United States and there are of course many more connected family members in politics including the Carter Nicholas Burwell and Paige relatives Carter as in Jimmy Carter is he a direct descendant question I don't know one wonders I'm sure someone in the chat will help us out with that do the doing the research so here's an interesting little bit of genealogy math I'm seeing here so his son with the ninth president his great-grandson so his son's grandson was 23rd so that means in two generations you went through 14 presidents does that make sense I mean the math works so two generations equals 14 presidents so seven presidents per generation every four years so though how often do they do double terms right I mean double term is your max yeah right yeah you can do two terms whether they're consecutive or split apart by years oh yeah so if you even if you do four terms then you're often in your back you can't go off and then back for a third one one term four years or two terms you're limited to two terms which is would be a max of four years so it's just two terms because one term is four years so I had to correct your math there or your assumption your assumption in that equation yeah yeah anyway so there we go of course he was yeah there's his gravestone that's me and okay and somebody also is correcting me it's two terms only since Franklin Delano Roosevelt who I think was the longest serving president ever oh that wasn't in the original constitution after him and he may not have been the serving president near the end it may have been his wife who was actually the president at the end but not officially moving on to Major General Wade Hampton born around Christmas day 1752 I saw Halifax oh Canadian connection but no it's and then Richland County South Carolina there we go Richland County Columbia the 4th of February 1835 it was a Revolution War veteran serving South Carolina General Hampton served two terms in the US Congress from South Carolina he was a planter and a slave owner and according to the what you move into here it was said he was the wealthiest planter in the US and possessed some 3,000 slaves that's just hard to believe wow this plantation was known as Hampton Preston House purchased by Wade Hampton the first I have a ghost story about that house now interesting here so in the research notes which isn't a main section it's just sort of bolded here but probate records need to be looked for to find more of the enslaved and the following census records are just a beginning a plantation first not first the base page free space page also needs to be created so that's an important research note that some people will follow up on and what does it say here about him so here's a list he has a long list of relatives in the dynasty his son served under Andrew Jackson his brother-in-law served in the Congress in the US Senate as a South Carolina Governor his father-in-law also South Carolina Governor is actually more people in the family because he's the fifth right so the seniors are all his so lots and lots of Wade Hamptons and a lot of people are named Wade Hampton oh gosh yes like still? well I don't know still it's back in the day interesting he's my fourth cousin seven times removed woohoo what's the ghost story, Max? that PBS the South Carolina educational television was doing a ghost interview they were doing a ghost hunt at that mansion wow so it was Halloween night and some friends from college and I walked in front of the mansion and was listening we were listening to the radio show in the car while they were doing the mansion the stuff in the mansion and all the lights on the outside of the mansion were on and all of a sudden they shut off all of the lights shut off and they had all the lights inside already off because they were doing a ghost thing and it freaked us out so much that we left and I talked to a friend of mine was working on the show and they said they never saw the lights outside turn off whoa so Jimmy Carter in Benjamin Harrison our eighth cousin seven times removed and I was looking at I was going to go to Wade Hampton to see if I'm actually related to Wade Hampton you would think I would be but nope South Carolina all those nope then we'll move across the pond, Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill I'm related to Winston you two yep 11th cousin oh same here sixth cousin wow where's your connection that you short circuited the rest of us we share a great grandparents Sarah Gilbert how and Zachariah how oh wow how very cool so of course he was the 61st prime minister of the UK and also the 63rd prime minister he apparently really oh actually no he was in government for both wars he was in his early years of he in the first world war he was in the government he was he was home secretary that's it home secretary and then first lord of the admiralty and that was his position in the first world war when it began in 1914 but then after defeat he his strategy with the war led to her defeat and that led him to resign in 1916 so which was too bad but then of course they called him back during the second world war taking over from Neville Chamberlain um despite having a heart attack in 1941 and battling pneumonia in 1943 but you know he just kept on going and he was called in in 51 to 55 as prime minister so and uh if you watch the crown you'll know that you know that he was also a painter he liked painting and writing of course he would be a great public speaker and historian so very interesting man lots of great tribute and his dynasty of course was not only his own serving twice um as prime minister but his father's son and grandsons were also politicians so lots from there moving on to Marie-François Sadi Carnot who was born in Limoges who had come to France and then died on the 25th of June 1894 in the Enron, France um so he's most commonly just known as Sadi Carnot and he was the president of the Republic of France so the president of the French Republic um after France declared itself a republic and got rid of the got rid of the royalty so if you want a little quick refresher on what's happening so we're talking the French Revolution here and let's make that a little bit bigger so in 1789 the best deal was stormed and that's when they captured Louis XIV and his wife Marie-Antoinette up in the cake famous for that line uh and both eventually succumbed to the guillotine in 1792 the French Republic was established and then he was he became let's see president in 87 so in my mind's eye I'm watching a guillotine chasing them around chasing them around sorry that's right uh French Republic was established and then the reign of terror begins uh and um wait a second I'm in the wrong decade here this is not during the this is way after the French Revolution um and after the Napoleon and then after Napoleon so this is later on but he was unfortunately he was assassinated in uh 1894 in Lyon and died of his injuries shortly after midnight so uh and his uh he was the president of France from 87 till the assassination and said his father was a long time French politician who was involved in the February Revolution in 48 and his grandfather was also a politician during the French Revolution there's the French Revolution connection so 26 degrees for me uh 28 for me and not related interesting despite all the French Canadian connections not not back there to that particular well it looks like he only has 68 connections too so some of these some of these ones don't have very many connections so that's right yeah if we look at his ancestors yeah about 17 uh moving there's Lezard, his father grandfather um then we have uh Cory Aquino Maria Corazon, Simone Long uh Corazon Aquino uh 11th president of the Philippines first woman to hold the office another first woman title and the first female president in Asia wow that's neat that is awesome I didn't realize that that distinction before fourth child of Jose uh Kojoenko uh and Dimitria Simone Long her siblings are listed there uh both of her parents came from prominent plans um and her father was a politician and of course she married Senator Benino Aquino and one of her sons was also uh later served as the president of the Philippines yeah president of the Philippines and her son also so that's the dynasty there wow only 18 degrees for me for her wow that's amazingly close Vicki's 23 so there are people that have some connections it's interesting how the you know like we're all related yeah wow yeah uh then Abishin So I when I saw that in the list I was like man Greg is never going to be able to pronounce that well I'm not reading that text I'm reading the English version of it yeah yeah yeah so Abe is his last name his surname and his given name is Shinso but in the um in the far eastern tradition you pronounce someone's name you usually do it in the reverse order so you go Abe Shinso would be the way they would say his name though in the if you go to edit you see okay well they're written in those characters so I can't read those but there other last name they put the Abe in there and then nicknames they put the Shinso so that's how and that's how WikiTree needs a first name and a surname field uh yeah I'm leaving this I'm not change I don't want to change anything I don't want to ruin anything I was impressed you actually went into the edit I know brave wasn't it I knew there's a cancel button yeah you gotta find that cancel button you gotta find that cancel button yeah um so yeah he was born in the 21st of September 1954 and died tragically again another assassination um on the 8th of July 2022 at only 67 um so yeah he was born in Tokyo on the 21st of September 54 second son of Abe Shintaro and Kishi Yoko um for the Seike University was a member of the House of Representatives and Secretary General of the Liberal Democratic Party which was then eventually he became prime minister and he served a couple actually served three stints as that and was doing a speech a political speech when he was assassinated which is very sad and the Buddhist funeral was held for him on the 12th of July immediately followed by a private funeral commission and along with him besides himself he was two-time prime minister of Japan his grandfather and great uncle were as well I didn't know that I think he learned on the Saturday morning live cast yeah always something so there's there's his father who was also a Japanese politician Minister of Agriculture Chief Cabinet Secretary Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and his grandfather um was a Japanese politician served in the House of Representatives Abe Abe yeah nice thank you Greg then we have Timothy Daniel Sullivan who was the Lord Mayor of Ireland eventually son of Daniel and Catherine Catherine Baylor Sullivan married on the 6th of July uh the first and let's see he married okay his wife who was the aunt of Tim Healy married his wife I know that wasn't meant as one common married on married on the 6th of July to Catherine Healy Catherine Healy was the aunt of Tim Healy first Governor General of Irish Free State I was thinking what would that make him the uncle but I guess they're talking about the genealogical like one of her siblings sons was the first Governor General they had 17 children looked at all those children yeah ouch did you say ouch wow yeah okay I think that's probably legit wow actually genealogically the thing that's I find most interesting about this is interesting that he was Lord Mayor and he has other connections here um uh son was Chief Justice his grandson was a politician one of the dominant figures in the 20s and his great grandson Tom O'Hickins served as Chief Justice of Ireland as well but there's a note here that two of these at least two of these children went on to marry extremely close relatives so one of his daughters married her double first cousin Tim Healy so that Healy family and another one married the couple's uh so someone Timothy married this couple's daughter who was both his niece through his mother and his double first cousin once removed through his father her father wait what? yeah how many couples do those people have yeah not surprising this marriage needed a special dispensation to go through and I just used my ancestor webs app to circles this uh it's not the circles one but it's the ancestor webs app but no no I'm saying is the ancestor webs just in circles oh yeah just in circles yeah so there's the so this is which one was the so Maeve Mary Healy is uh so this one this couple's so there is Maeve Mary Healy and you see how she's related to Thomas Healy there but also to the Solovans on the other side and there's Timothy Solovan look at all those connections with each other wow that's the husband and wife that was mentioned there so the one that needed the special dispensation like this isn't going back like remember when I demonstrated this app I had to go back nine generations to find the one connection between Chris Ferriolo and myself this is only five generations and there's all these yeah Ireland is a island it's a small island I guess it's not a small island the final one is Joseph Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau seventh cousin closest connection and closest cousin to me in this week's profiles seventh cousin twice removed he's my 16th cousin 16th cousin oh yeah seventh twice removed for me too now do we share the same grandparents Margaret Arden Gravel and there's another 17th Margaret Denier's leg L-E-G-H what about you since we're both seventh cousins twice removed I wonder if we have the same oh look at there's a lot of choices there but oh my goodness Crévié Madeleine Crévié and Charles Le Matre listen to her pulling out the French pronunciation I don't know anyways that's cool he was of course he was Prime Minister of Canada from 68 to 79 so he had an 11 year run actually during most of my childhood he was the Prime Minister when I was in elementary school didn't he visit Yoko and John Lennon in their hotel in Montreal didn't he go and visit with them while they were there yes there was lots and lots of stories he did lots of things coming back from 80 to 84 as the 21st Prime Minister Joe Clark had a very brief stint in between there but of course this biography is in French first of all but we'll slip down to the English version born on the 18th of October in 1919 on Montreal Island fourth great grandson of another Pierre Joseph Trudeau he's a lawyer, he's an author he was a university professor but of course he's best known as a politician he was involved in political activism early on with a strike by Asbestos Miners for the rights in 1949 and then he became a journalist for the Cité Libre in Montreal and then it was in the later 60s that he joined politics and ran for the Liberal Party eventually taking over from Leslie B. Pearson Prime Minister before him of course he was always very controversial in his during his tenure as Prime Minister one thing that he did do is he changed the laws he decriminalized homosexual relations and he had a very famous speech and the line that he used which is very famous is the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation very important and it would be nice if everyone stuck to that model which makes a lot of sense then what most non-Canadians probably don't know about but there was something called the October crisis two high ranking officials in Quebec were kidnapped by what was called the FLQ which was basically a terrorist organization that won back to separator and they were using terrorist threats and kidnapping and eventually one of them was in fact murdered and there was bombings and stuff and to combat that he had invoked what was called the war measures act which basically invoked military law for a few months until they arrested the people but that was very controversial at the time so that was one of his things and of course he also invoked when inflation was rampant he did things to curb that which people at West didn't like because that affected them financially as well there was always lots of controversy but he put Canada on the map and people knew him around the world and now his son is our current prime minister is talked about lots and not always in glowing terms either so that part of the the trade of being a Trudeau politician was also passed down and thus ended the lesson Canadian politics did you do JFK? what's that? did you do JFK? did I miss him? I did not do him did I? oh McFly oh because oh I just clicked on these ones here I didn't click on hello McFly there we go John Fitzgerald Kennedy yes the one we were supposed to start with don't worry we're getting to him now thank you Azure save the best for last that's right President John Fitzgerald born the 29th of May 1917 in Brooklyn, Massachusetts United States of America died sadly the 22nd of November in 1963 at only 46 Dallas, Texas 35th president of course taking over from Dwight Eisenhower and succeeded by Lyndon Johnson and of course he was a senator from Massachusetts prior to that and born to his father was an ambitious politician and of course his father was a politician and then lots of other lots of others in the family of course were politicians married the daughter of the mayor of Boston Rose Fitzgerald I hadn't realized that his wife was also the daughter of a mayor so there's politics on that side as well Joe was not a politician but no I don't think he was wasn't he the ambassador to Great Britain? oh that was later but he was a big time he ran during the 20s he was a bootlegger kind of guy but before he became ambassador he had questionable business dealings and a bootlegger so he was not a politician but one of his things was that he decided that the politicians would be the ones with the power and so that's why he was grooming his children to be politicians but it turns out that the politicians aren't the ones with the power it's the businessman with the power he missed that by a bit politicians only think they have power they think yes I didn't realize he was born with something called Addison's disease I didn't know that either and he was given last rights at his birth that was new for me too chronically ill during his childhood suffered severe cold scarlet fever and other undiagnosed diseases missed lots of school bookish in high school reading ceaselessly but not the books his teachers assigned he's not alone in that I'm pretty sure went on from Chote and Princeton to Harvard University in 36 and then of course he had his career in the Navy and got a purple heart for rescuing some of his fellow sailors from PT 109 when it was rammed and then of course onto being president and sadly the assassination and here we're looking at his family okay it doesn't say all the other different connections but like his brother and son but I'm pretty sure his father was ambassador to yes he was the first Irish Catholic ambassador to England and served until 1940 but he was not a politician so that you don't count an ambassador as being a politician it's not because they're supposed to be more neutral is that right? there we go okay I stand corrected and now I'm done sorry Asher who? who? Asher was the one who pointed it out so I'll take her for missing it but I apologize to you Mags also for letting you I'm yeah I'm so offended so biscuit biscuit if I had a biscuit I'd be throwing biscuits at you man yeah that's right and I'd be dipping them in my coffee if I had a biscuit I'd biscuit in the morning as go ahead we're just being rude oh we are okay we have two photos for the 12 months of photos November which is the theme is pets so the first one is from Karen Carter she's sharing her photo of their black lab who they named Fonzie aww so there's Fonzie with the kids so that was really sweet 1979 and the next one is from our own Betsy Co she couldn't be here today but she shared a picture isn't this adorable that is adorable so her aunt just shared some photos with her that she just got and so this is her maternal grandfather William John McMurray nice so after this photo he would come to adopt the nickname Jack but I'm not sure what he was called as a child we also don't know the name of the dog but they sure do make a cute pair that is so adorable there it is just a little bigger so cute that's adorable what a great find that is and then here's his profile oh me Jack McMurray alright okay and then for celebrate your ancestors we have I think we have about four or five to do so I'll try to get through those so the first one is from Yoke and I tested this out with bags hopefully I can say it right her grandmother Johanna Van Den Broek Broek was born 11th of November 1908 and died on her 85th birthday in 1993 she was the sweetest grandmother anyone could wish for and she's got a p.s. that if you go to the images tab which we'll do there's a picture of her with a tame crow that fits with the pets photo theme of this month so I'll just share that first she had a pet that was a crow that is so fun that is wild so that's her that's kind of neat very nice and this is her profile it's got the two different biographies and a nice image there petting photo and then down here we can read in the English Yoke says close enough alright so thank you Yoke for sharing that that was really wonderful we love seeing all of the pictures and hearing about people's ancestors and Sue Carter is nominating William Clifford here's another one January January 4th birthday of November 3rd 1902 so she says she received a graduation announcement for her grand uncle will these items the photos on the profile were mailed to me by my cousins Phyllis and looks like it's off can't read the rest of the comment so we'll just go to the profile the entire Wheaton High School Class of 1921 is listed in the class roll so it motivated her to find the photo of William and add it to his profile so here's the profile for William oh my ninth cousin oh nice it's always fun when you pop on a profile oh and there's something I just wanted to point out she says to zoom in on the photo and that's part of the wikitree browser extension you have the ability to click on the corner there with the little magnifying glasses and it zooms in for you so that's really nice that is really nice ability to see that image that she's got scanned in there so all the people's names yeah very cool alright and then next up we have Chris Wine is nominating David Smith E.

Robinson Peasley family history it was just a way to track what I needed to do and I was having fun with all the different widgets that Wakey Tree has well but this is the first my first page what I wanted to share is that if you have a space page that you have that you can link to so an internal link but also for the page so you can link back to different sections headings on within a page if you have a long page for instance you can add a little link to the bottom of each section that will take you back up to the top of the page so I'm just going to share how to do that really quick I'm just going to go in and edit so all you have to do is dig to do where to go oh there it is so the open brackets and then the space page that you're on followed by the pound sign which is saying this is indicating the next section is the header that you want to look for so then you just put in the header title and then the pipe and then whatever you want to be showing for the link for this I just put top just to indicate that this link is going to take you back to the top of the page and then the closed brackets and that's for the internal link on that space page in html it's called an anchor you're anchoring it drop back down that's cool thank you az yeah you're welcome my pleasure shall I do the social media real quick well you know I figure that since you can do the social media and
