 Yeah, we were talking about Betsy Co's show from the other night where she was doing DNA. Yay, Betsy Co on the DNA. Very excited. Learning lots. Yeah. And she didn't invite me. I had, what's up with that, Betsy? I know. You wanna come tomorrow? We have a repeat tomorrow. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think I'm gonna be at the cottage tomorrow. We're in the middle of a windstorm. It's a little cool for cottage weather, isn't it? Oh, the cottage has been completely redone. It is winterized. It has in-floor heating. It's got a wood stove. It has acid solar. Yeah, yeah. Sounds cozy. I've never been in the winter. So yeah. Morning, everybody. Brian, Brian, how we got here genealogy. Good day, eh? He beat everybody here this morning. Wow. Hillary's here. John Tyner's here. Let's see. Jory Jordan's here. Susie Carter. Let's see. Going down. Lisa Gervais. Hey, Lisa. Lisa. I'm waving over to Kanata. Yeah, that's right. Actually, it's this way. Hey, Kanata. I'll wave there. I'm waving in your direction. There you go. Sharon Hayes. Good morning from Alabama. Janine. Hello from Tennessee. No Scottish ancestry, so only peripheral that I could research. I didn't even see the question for that, but that sounds interesting. Let's see. Mary Sleppy. Hey, Mary, how are you? Mary's one of my favorite researchers for the Dillard family, right? Dillard's young. I was scrolling too fast and I misread her name. I thought Mary Sleepy. What? Sorry, Mary. Oh, let's see. Uncle by marriage. See, I got to quit reading. Holy King, we have two Hillary's today. Two? What are we going to do? Hey, from Ohio. Mindy Silva's in here. I don't know why she's not in here. I'm waiting for Tommy Buck to show up. Oh, yes. I'm going to give Tommy Buck a really hard time. Oh, no, from Louisiana. I am. And I'm going to tell you why I'm going to give Tommy Buck a hard time. Oh, why are you? Okay. Ready? Is it the question? Yeah. Question of the week. Tommy Buck. Okay, so question of the week. What's in your genealogy toolbox? Do you have a genealogy toolbox? Anybody? Let's see. I set up a whole set of bookmarks that give me quick access to a lot of the different sites and tools that I use. Tommy Buck is here and he says, why? Oh, gosh, Brian Redmary's last name is Slappy. That's funny, Brian. Okay, so. You're going to make Slappy all of us. Genealogy's toolbox. You know, I'm going to say something right off the top of the bat and see if she sends me a promo button for her site. Cindy's List. Oh, yes. Cindy's List is huge. Huge, huge, huge. For finding just about anything genealogy-wise. So if you don't know Cindy List, it has a lots and lots and lots and lots of pop-up ads, but she has to have some way of supporting the site. So get over the ads. And if you have something you can't find, check out Cindy List. She may have a link to it and she keeps that stuff so up to date. It's crazy. The question is, what is in your genealogy toolbox? I had to show Brian. All Greg's tools. Yes, all Greg's tools. There you go. Sorry. Weakie tree is in my DNA toolbox. There you go. It's done. 24 Answers. Now, Tommy Buck, how long did it take you to write this answer? Wow. You ready? You ready? It's not, it would just. Okay, that looks reasonable. There we go. And then, oh, it keeps on going. Oh. Oh, yeah. Fabulous. Wow. Excuse me, I'm even allergic to it. Oh my goodness. Look at that. Wow. Isn't that crazy? Tommy Buck. Wow. Did you even do anything yesterday besides this? Yeah. Okay. That is so cool. That's a great list. And I'm gonna go ahead and say, okay, let's do this. Oh, do we don't have a best answer anymore? What? Oh, did they take that away? Well, no, there's a star there, right? Oh, there we go. Yeah. There we go. There you go, Tommy Buck. I just don't know how you got anything done. Yeah. One thing you left out of here is find a grave is not as big in Canada as it is everywhere else. So you might wanna add Canadian tombstones to that list. Canadian tombstones. I would also add Cindy's list to this list. Yeah. Well, I didn't see that in there. I love that you put up the website calculators, the relationship charts. I would also post a link to Gefi, which is a network charting application that is open source. So it's free. And you can really easily do a network chart. If you download stuff and you use DNAJEDCOM, you can take DNAJEDCOM's import of your data from all of the sites and create an incredibly crazy network chart and Gefi quite easily from that. So check Gefi out. JEDMATCH, website DNA tools, JEDMATCH, that's the only one that you've got up here. They do have good tools. I would add DNA Painter. I would add the shared Cinnabargin project, which is on DNA Painter. I would also add WikiTrees DNA tools. I would also add minoydna.org and DNAJEDCOM. So there's quite a few DNA website tools that you might wanna add to that. Website maps, mapsofus.org, very US-centric. And Tommy, you did a great job with this. I would add, Alesh probably has some great ideas for European sites for maps, but I would also add Google Maps for Genealogists. It's a Facebook group that leads to Louise Cook Runs, that is very good. Website Miscellaneous, Illinois and Texas. That's not Louisiana, Tommy. Yeah, interesting. Yeah, and the Mac apps love that you've added those. And obviously you're a Mac user, I'm so sorry. But yeah, there's lots of Mac apps. I'm a Linux person and I would add the open source program called Gramps.org. That is very much like all of the other family tree DNA programs, but you can actually download your JEDCOM from Wikitree and save it on your computer. So I back up all of my Wikitree information because I'm a good backup person. So I back it up and I save a JEDCOM every few months from Wikitree and I can open it on Gramps very easily. I love Jennings Carnegie Public Library. That's so funny. So good, YouTube channels. You don't have the Wikitree channel listed here. Maybe it's implied. What's up with that? Yeah, really. All right, so that's really good, Tommy, but that's a good, that's a nice work. It's very US-centric. So if you're interested in that, it's a US-centric. So if we find one that might be better, there are some people who have some other information that they've popped up underneath his. Pip Shepard's got a good one. The community, this community, Discord. He's talking about Wikitree. Oh, right. This community, private message. This community, projects. Yes. Find a grave when they're right. Search when they're right. Yeah, JEDMATCH. So they make it. New Zealand members. So New Zealand's birth, death, and marriage. So if you have another place that you are looking at doing information on and research, there are a lot of good lists on here. Somebody has Fold3 on here. And I'm surprised newspapers.com didn't show up. DuckDuckGo, a lot of people like DuckDuckGo because it doesn't keep track of what you're doing, like a lot of the others do. Statue of Liberty, passenger search lists. And there is that site called ShipsLists. Be careful. If you use somebody's site, make sure you site that site in your citation. Was that all that? That's not all that. Site Citation. Source citations? Yeah. So Wikitree, Family Search GeniusNet. Be careful with GeniusNet. Let's see, Helpers, Translators, Italian. Who's answering? Judy Guy is answering this stuff. So she's got tips too. She's not just got sites and information. Mary and Saruti's all over all of this, answering all these questions. Skepticism and common sense from Matthew Sullivan. Library and Archives Canada, up the Zhuang Collection. If you aren't familiar with that, that is a Catholic Church collection. And it includes some other church records because the Catholic Church was the only group that was keeping records in early, early, early Canada and they are incredible records. And if there were people that happened to be in the community, the Catholic Church also kept track of them, which was great. And the Zhuang Collection has spread, like there's some Ontario, Northern Ontario ones, and there's also some in Northeastern States in the Zhuang Collection as well. Well, the Northeastern US was a part of Canada for a long time. Well, it was, yeah. The Northeastern Canada was a part of the US for a long time. Yeah, and there's a lot of French Canadian names there, right, even still, yeah. I do a lot of browsing at Family Search, Antonanti, because Italian records, irishgeniology.ie, because Irish records, J-Store Library of Congress, this is from Lucy Savagio Diaz, I just like to say her name. Yeah, let me, let's see what, somebody do a quick Google translate on that, but I think it's talking about telling you how to search with the quotation marks around the name will get you specific information. If you take the quotation marks, you might get every name for that person. Right. Greg's gonna check me on that. Okay. My heritage, wiki tree, genie, ancestry, fine grave, billions of graves, in US census, these are my main sources I followed using checking the data and smart match merges. Interesting, so, interesting, the peerage, there's great stuff from John Atgard, notebooks, scratch paper, something to write with, no blood yet. And of course, a computer, that is a great list. That is a great list. I have to, when somebody sends me an email with 15 or 20 names in it, I have to actually put them in a tree on a piece of paper before I can understand what they're trying to tell me. You know, my grandfather's brother was James Joyce's sister. And I'm like, what? How do I figure that out? YouTube, Hollywood graveyard hosted by Arthur Dark. Dozens of episodes visiting gravesites of notables all over the world. That's funny and fun. Mostly church books. Don't forget to upvote these questions too. Carrie Undvalken says mostly church books, farm history books for the various municipalities in Norway. So check these out for other than US stuff. Family search, internet archive. Internet archive is really good. You can go back to the Wayback Machine and find information out from there as well. I love how Mary and Saruti is talking about how useful Bibles can be. If you have a family Bible, make sure you catch a copy of that. Get a copy of the page that has a publishing information so that the date of that Bible is included with the information. And we have a new list coming down here from Margaret Meredith. She's got legacy desktop software, which is not free, but it's a good software, like family tree makers coming back. A new tool in my toolbox, which has proven useful for searching my wife's family here in southeastern Ontario is the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County. Talk about giving a shout out to a local history group. Yeah, Greg. The usual ones, but when I get stuck, I go to name, name year. There you go. Richard Hill gives us that information from Ontario. The three P's. Patience, if you can't find the answer today, you might tomorrow. Preserverence, never give up on finding the answer no matter how long it takes. And that's like doing a Google search. Don't stop at number 10. Go to page 12. Go to page 15. Keep going in those Google searches because you find stuff. Persistence, keep asking the question. C rule number one. That's from Ken Parment. I like that list of his toolbox. My favorite websites for Puerto Rican. There you go. Heos Decommo, bar none the most visited page for me. I'm thinking, linking this page for Church Index's film book. So for Puerto Rico, you've got some stuff. Whereas, I was thinking that was gonna be Karen Low giving us that. Alexis Abru, I wonder if Alexis is in the Puerto Rican thing. That's great. Genealogy TV on YouTube. My own custom genealogy database. Leaf, ah, hey, Leaf, how are you doing? Oh, she's giving us some, here you go, Greg. You read this one. Can you even see it? I've got it, blown. She's talking about built-on post-a-gray sequel, PHP, Pearl, Gintu, Linux, Workstation. Yeah, you go. That a model from the master genealogist. So if you really wanna go 20 years ago and figure out that development, go for it. In Australia, there's Trove Canada, World War I service records at the Library and Archives Canada. Census records for us. The United Kingdom, oh, in the 1931 census for Canada is gonna be coming out soon. I think somebody mentioned that in the chat just a bit ago. Yes. UK birth, death and marriages, New Zealand. So check out these lists, folks. These people got some good stuff going on. Here's some more UK-based stuff. Family search, Chris Wilt. Find a name in a particular time period. I use Google search in Google books and they're actually telling you how to do it. That's fun, that's from Annie X. And I have a pretty long list. Woo, Canadian, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Canadian photo projects, England. I wonder why there's so many Canadian references in our morning show, Greg. Australia, USA, that's a really short list there. But Tommy took care of it. Sweden sources, non-country specific. You know what, Tommy? I might have to bump you off the best answer list and put that one up there. I'm not kicking him out of the show though. Love you, Tommy. Websites, birthday cat, wait. Tommy, did you answer twice? You did. No, oh my gosh, it threw his answer to the bottom of the list, no way. It took me to the very beginning page, that's why. Oh, because you hit that. Yeah, yeah, because I said next. Okay, let's go back to where we were. Woo, gonna be even more trouble. Genealogy TV on YouTube. And I'm surprised, Brian says how we got here Genealogy on YouTube. There we go. Marie Hargis, and then adding some things to what Tommy Buck listed from Bonnie Day. She's talking about some specific stuff. Toledo, Lucas County Main Library, Genealogy Floor. So just the whole floor of the library she has like in her TARDIS, in her little toolbox. There she goes. Amy Johnson prose, 52 Ancestors, 52 Weeks. I like that one as well. Roots Magic, Relative Fawner, Family Tree, DNA, Weekie Tree. So that was the question of the week. Sorry, Tommy, I do like you, man. Tommy is great. Tommy is great. I was like, that was so shocking that it flipped me back. So sorry, I'm going international. You're going back to international? Yeah, that's where I went. Okay. And then I wish I could do two. And then I would add, see, but Tommy's is right underneath it. Oh, there we go. So Tommy's list is the next list. So. Right. All right. Is he mad at me? I don't know. I haven't seen him comment in a while. Maybe he's left us. No, I say no. So that's the question of the week. And it's, you got 10 minutes now, Greg. 10 minutes? Okay. Let me share my screen. So there was the one that you asked me to translate. And I muted myself because I figured I'd be typing a lot and I didn't want you to hear my keys. So thank you, Lisa, for telling me to unmute myself as I was commenting on some of the other things you were saying and no one was hearing that, which is fine. But there's the original thing. And let me show you the- Here's what Tommy has to say. Well, what does Tommy has to say? He just said no. Nope. Okay. Nope, it is. I have actually started using a different app for translation as opposed to just Google translate. It's called DeepL, D-E-E-P, capital L. And so there's an app version, but there's also a website. So you can go to the website. Okay. So that is not just Apple specific? It's not Apple specific. No, no. DeepL. I mean, this is the Mac version of the app. Why do you choose that rather than- Well, one of the things I do, I choose it is because, well, it's very easy to switch to the, so if I wanted to switch that into Italian, it would automatically translate into, like I find this really quick and easy to switch into different languages. But the really cool thing is that when you install it, you can have it set up so that there's a key code, or a key command. So if I put, like if I just highlight that sentence there, and I wanna translate it, if I hit command C twice in a row, like you know how command C, or control C on a PC, copies text. If you do that copy command twice in a row, then it automatically pops up what you copied into the translator. So instead of copying, going into a separate window for Google translate and then pasting, just automatically does that. And because I had, it detects, it usually auto detects, and if it has a trouble because of the wording, you can change, you can tell it what language it was in, but usually it auto detects really well. So this is what I copied, and because I had previously had French down, that's what it translated into. So when I went to here, double click, control C, control C, and they're popped into Swedish, switch translating to French, or I can change it to English and there you have it. So there's my quick tip of a tool that I actually use quite a bit now, in case you weren't aware of it. There we go, there's another tool for our toolbox. Another tool for the toolbox. Deep L, yeah. And I started using it a couple of years ago when I was doing a Ministry of Education project that had to be in English and French, and my native French speaking teachers were saying that the Deep L did a better job. It was not perfect, but it did a better job on doing the translations than the Google translate for some of the stuff that they needed. We have an announcement, announcement. Oh, oh. Last day to watch the symposium videos from Wickedry Day. Wickedry Day, woo hoo. Okay, go watch those. Yeah, okay. Excellent. Okay, but the profiles of the week, the focus is on the potterverse. Of course, this was came before because the actor who played Hagrid, Robbie Coltrane passed away recently. You say Hagrid, I say Hagrid. I do too, I say Hagrid. Oh. I thought they said Hagrid in the movie too. Hagrid. The pronunciation. Maybe it is. He's my closest this week. Is he? He is. I think I'm only related to a few of them. You and Betsy are both like way far off. Yeah, we're way far off. 25 from him, Betsy, you're 24. But he's the closest for Betsy. Hagrid. Okay, I'll say Hagrid. 22 for you for Richard Harris is your closest. And Betsy's closest is 22 from Ray Fiennes. Yeah. Okay. You're 47 from Richard Griffiths. Wow, that's really far. Pretty big ones. You're 46 from Richard Griffiths, Greg. Oh, okay. So anyways, Hagrid and I are 23 cousins. Like we're just like this. Really? Yeah. But again, thanks to the browser extension, it tells me that right up front, 23 cousins. We go back to the 1300s to find our common ancestors. 15th here. You're 15th cousin? Yeah, through the Stuart family. Oh, nice. So, Anthony Roberts McMillan, also known as Robbie Coltrane. Born on the 30th of March, 1950 in Rutherglen, Scotland. Parents were Ann McVax McMillan and Jean Ross McMillan. He had two sisters and known professionally as Robbie Coltrane. Attribute to the jazz saxophonist John Coltrane, which is very cool. Attended schools in Scotland and Perthshire, which is also part of Scotland, and the Glasgow School of Arts in Morehouse, College of Education. Oh, he was teased by his classmates for having a posh accent, and he gained the name Lord Fonterloy. When he grew up, he was involved with Amnesty International and the Labour Party. He was known as Red Robbie. Began acting in 1970 and credited as a co-writer for many of those programs. He was in Blackadder and the Young Ones. But of course, his most famous role is Ruby is Haggard in Harry Potter films. He was awarded the award. Ruby is. I don't think I knew what his first name was. Yeah, Ruby is Haggard. Yeah, it doesn't, they don't use his first name very often, but I think. Yes, Dumbledore. One of the later ones. Yeah. One of the later ones Dumbledore calls him by that. Like when he's in trouble. Yeah, probably. Yeah, that's probably it. And yeah, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2006 for services to drama. One son, one daughter died from multiple organ failure and sepsis. Very sad. Next we have Eleanor Bonham Carter. She's a wonderful actress. Born in the 60s. May 26th, by the way, to be precise. So her precise birth information, writing on a towel, oh, you're so high, is in the biography, not in her, the profile data because she is still a living person. So this part is sort of private, but whatever you put in the bio is up for grabs, apparently. But this information is all available on Wikipedia anyways. It lists a number. This is a nice, long profile. Very interesting. And it goes into details of all the different connections. She is very well connected to lots of different people. One of her grandfathers was actually Prime Minister of the UK just before World War I. And the other grandfather had other connections. There was connections with the Rothschild family. It's very interesting. But she's known for lots of different films. Room with a View, she was in Fight Club. I don't know if I've actually seen more than a few minutes of Fight Club, so I don't remember where she was. Whenever I think of Alan Bonham Carter, whatever her name is, I think that she is the word eccentric. Yes. Yes. Yeah. She plays eccentric really well. Well, look at her, like her, some of her most famous stuff. Like she played the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland. By definition, one of the most eccentric fictional characters ever. She was Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd. I don't know if you ever watched that musical, Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Bonkers character there. Of course, she was a partner of Tim Burton, so that's kind of Bonkers in itself. And of course, her Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter. But you know, the first time I ever saw her act, I thought she was Canadian because it was a film called Margaret's Museum. Have you ever seen that one? It takes place in Nova Scotia and it's about a mining town in Nova Scotia and she, I think she ends up, she's a widow of a miner who was killed in a mine disaster and it's very, and basically she's made a museum to the people that were lost in that. And it's very, like it's so different from anything else she's ever done. Like it's very, what would you say, like narrow or straight, like, you know, it's not eccentric at all. Yeah, it's very true to who she probably really is. Yeah, yeah. And she had a Canadian, like a Nova Scotia accent. So, you know, for the longest time, I thought, oh, she's a great Canadian actress. Yeah. Turns out she's not. She's a great Canadian, she's a great actress, just not Canadian. The power of a good diction coach. Oh, listen to you. Anyways, I recommend that movie strong now. It's not, it's not a feel good movie, but it's a good dramatic movie. So Margaret's Museum, you can find it. Moving on, we have Warwick Davis who played Professor Sprout, right? No, wait a second. Oh, Chris is gonna really. Is there a picture of him? So there's a picture of him. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So he's done lots of stuff. He also felt famous for playing Wicket, the Ewok in the Star Wars films, and Willow, the movie Willow, which I think is getting, is it getting a remake or a sequel or has it had, has a sequel come out? I can't help you. And he also, apparently he played Yoda in the scenes where Yoda had to be walking. So he put on the Yoda costume, I guess, and did that. Flitwick, it is Flitwick, Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter films. So this is a very interesting profile. It talks about actually his, he has a rare form of dwarfism called SED. I'm not sure what SED stands for. And he is a huge Star Wars fan, so that's not surprising because he's done a lot of Star Wars work. His wife has also been born with dwarfism, but it's a different condition. And sadly, when those two conditions meet, if a child has both of those conditions, then it's fatal. And they lost two children because of that. But they have four, and the later two children were just born with only his, so they've survived. But it's very, very heart-wrenching. Red and green, thank you. Oh, look at that. Oh, you've got the Christmas colors up. Let's grab one there. Ralph Fiennes, who was Lord Voldemort. And my 21st cousin, twice removed. Again, back to the 1300s to find our common ancestor. Born in the 60s, so known for Lord Voldemort, but he's done lots of stuff, of course. And so the interesting thing here that I learned is that I didn't know before is that in one of the later movies where there was a flashback to young Voldemort, whose name was Tom Riddle, the person who played young Tom Riddle was actually his nephew. So if you thought there might have been a family resemblance, you know, that's really good casting. That young Tom Riddle looks a bit like the actor who plays Voldemort. You can spot those fine boys everywhere. What's that? You can spot those fine boys everywhere. Oh, yeah, yeah. And they're great actors. The guy in the Handmaid's Tale. Oh, yes. And there's a third one that's a family. There is a third one, isn't there? Yeah, yeah. Neat. Richard Thomas Griffiths, of who I'm 46 degrees from. So that would be through multiple marriages, probably. Born in 1947 in Yorkshire, England. Died at 2013 at age 65 in Coventry, West Midlands, England. And his biography is very short, but he is OBE, Order of the British Empire. And he's known for being Uncle Vernon, of course. Yeah, poor thing. I know. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But he's done a number of other movies too, none of which I can remember offhand, and I didn't check out his Wikipedia article. But I'm not going to get distracted. I'm gonna get through these in a timely fashion today. So I will focus, continue on. Richard St. John Francis Harris. Wow, that's kind of cool. I've never seen St. John as a middle name before. But maybe because he was born in Ireland, they just give out St. names as middle names. Who knows? Born on the 1st of October, 1930 in Limerick, County Limerick, Ireland. And passed away on the 25th of October, 2002. So Richard Harris, of course, was the first actor to play Albus Dumbledore. And he was, but along with being an actor, what I didn't realize, he was also a singer and a songwriter. He was in Camelot. Yes, I see that. I see that here. I didn't realize that before. Yes, he was King Arthur. That's the first one I see is him. Yeah. A man called Horse, 1970 movie. He was a gunfighter in Unforgiven, the Clint Eastwood movie. And now I did see him in Gladiator. He was the emperor, Marcus Aurelius. And his biggest hit in terms of song was in 1968 when he recorded MacArthur Park. Which is kind of neat. My high school band played that. St. John is a surname, a family surname. Perhaps that's why it's his middle name. That's from Eric Hill. And that's the whole middle name thing. I vote we keep it. That's how I can tell the difference between my John Smiths. Oh yeah, no, we definitely need that middle name field for sure. There we go. And John Vincent Hurt, commander of the British Empire. Born on the 22nd of January 1940 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England and passed away sadly on the 25th of January, 2017, age 77 in Norfolk, England. That's a furry picture of him. A furry, yeah, I know. Okay, things got away from him there, I guess. That's the day before he went to the barbers, you know. It's a handlebar mustache. Yeah, that's right. So let's look at the note here. John Hurt CBE is managed by the genealogy in the media project. I guess that's one of our projects. I'd never heard of that project before. Neither. Cool. Interesting. Well, let's just... What is that about? Okay, we're taking one little diversion. Yeah, let's go. Please, time out while we get distracted. Welcome to the genealogy in the media project. Our mission is... Where's the mission, say? Global community outreach, sub-project. The goal of the genealogy in the media project is to document the profiles of people who have appeared on genealogical media from across the globe. Improving them to the best of our ability with their thorough and accurate sources, strong bios, and connected to the global tree. A living center project in the media. So does that mean that you and Betsy and I are... Oh. Being worked on? I don't know. WikiTree Day. What is W-D-E-Y-T-Y-A? What do you think you are? You know, I never knew this. Who do you think you are? I'm your partner. That's a show. Yeah. Finding your roots. Oh, okay, so people who've been on those shows. Yeah. Big genealogy shows, not little genealogy. Not little genealogy. I think we should put our hosts on here, though, too, yeah. We're a little show, we're still, we can. Oh, well. People can find our profiles if they want. Um, anyways, he knighted for his drama, done lots of different roles. In Harry Potter, of course, he was the proprietor of Ola Vanders, the, where all the young wizards and witches got their wands from. Yes. So, and he did a great job doing that. He was so, so straight-laced, you know, as Harry came in and tried things and things exploded around the shop. And he said, I've been waiting for you, Harry. Yeah, that's right, yeah. And you were coming. Didn't bother him that, you know, he destroyed half the shop before he found the one that worked. Nope, just went on. Well, and of course it was the one that was the exact match. Yes. You know who. You know who, shall not be named, right? I think the first memorable film that I saw with him was The Elephant Man, where he played John Merrick, The Elephant Man. And I remember seeing that because it was being shown for free at, when I was at university in the big sort of campus center. I remember sitting on the floor. I think Julie was visiting that weekend too. But anyways, that was a, that was great. He's a great actor. And in my, the other fandom, of course, he played the, he played the doctor, the war doctor. So he was a time lord in Doctor Who. Who's your favorite doctor? Who's my favorite doctor? David Kennett. Well, the very first, the very first one that I watched was, I think was David Tennant. So he and Donna as her, as the companion were my favorite initial ones, but I've, I've enjoyed every one of them since then. So, you know, the current doctor is often my favorite doctor sort of, but. Well, and David Kennett's back, isn't he? And David and Donna are both back. So that's going to be great, you know? But I really did, I think the, the most recent one, Jodie Whitaker, she did a great job as the doctor. And I think- She did. She did. She had a lot of flak about it though. She got a lot of flak about it. And, you know, it's not, not her fault. I mean, some of the scripts may have had some, some issues and they had to, they had to deal with filming during COVID and all that stuff. There were so many restrictions placed on, on her and the whole production that not her fault, but I think she did a great job, you know, even despite all of those little hardships. So I was really happy with everything that she had done. So. You know what, Lisa? I don't watch Doctor Who either, but I have so many friends that do that I, that I get it by osmosis. Get it by osmosis. You should try it. Try it. I know. But if I do admit it to Doctor Who, I'm going to watch it from the beginning. Oh. You mean from the first one on Unearthly Child from November 1963? Oh my God. Okay. You got a problem, Greg. What? You have a serious problem. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. People who watch Doctor Who have a nickname like Trekkies or Trekkeries. Yeah. Huvians. Huvians. What do people call Star Wars groupies? Hmm. I don't know. Why do Trekkies, why do we Trekkies have names and you people don't? That's a good question. There's got to be a name. I don't know. Daniel Radcliffe is our next one. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Okay. I'm determined I'm going to live Betsy at least a decent amount of time. So, and some of these are- Oh my God. Eleven already. I know. I know. So I'm gone past my 20 minutes, for sure. Daniel Radcraft born in the 1980s. Then wants us, of course, famous for playing Harry Potter himself. Apparently, so he was at age five, he started, he decided he wanted to be an actor, great at age 10. He was in David Copperfield, where he acted with Maggie Smith, and apparently Maggie Smith had recommended him for the role. So that's one of the reasons why he auditioned and got tapped on the shoulder. But the other interesting thing I noticed here from this very well-written profile is that when he was first offered the part, his parents didn't want him to take it because it meant seven films, and originally it was planned to be filmed in LA, and then I guess they came back and said, well, what if we just, you know, we guarantee, where is it here? His parents initially turned the offer down because there was going to be seven films shot in Los Angeles, and then he was offered just two films shot in the UK, which obviously they then extended to the full eight films that we have. So imagine how different the whole thing would have been if it actually had taken place and filmed in the States, it just wouldn't have had the same, you know, wouldn't have been there. When I send people pictures of Ottawa from looking from the canal, up to the Chateauloye over Union Station to the parliament, people always say, oh my gosh, that looks like, ah! Oh, in the Thames, from the Thames? It looks like the town in Harry Potter. Oh! Yeah. It looks like a Harry Potter set, so they could have filmed it here. Interesting. Very cool. There is a name for the town, right? Remember when you reached for the year? Oh, yeah. They go on, yeah, when they go and leave, they go to, um, Diagon Alley. No. No, no, no. That's where they buy the things. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my goodness, my mind's blank. Somebody gets the town in Harry Potter, yeah, where the school is. Right outside, right outside the castle. Yeah, it is, um, Bradybots, Beams, they, oh, okay, I'll continue on with, um, Allen Sidney Patrick Rickman, um, Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade. Thank you, man. Yes, yes, way to go, way to go, uh, Allen Rickman was born, uh, 21st of February 1946, Hammersmith, London, England. So is Hammersmith is a, is a district or a suburb neighborhood in London? I believe so. Yes. Must be. The tube station. Oh, is it? I think so, yeah. And he passed away the 14th of January, 2016 at age 69, way too young, um, cancer, I believe. Uh, he had a number of notable, uh, roles. Of course, he was Professor Snipe, uh, Snape in Harry Potter, but he also was Hans Gruber in the original Die Hard movie. And I just watched the original Die Hard movie for the first time, I think it was last year because, um, people kept saying, you know, it's a Christmas movie. And so I thought, well, I guess I'll watch it, you know, those types of movies aren't usually my thing, but it was, it was interesting. And I thought, hey, second, that guy, he looks familiar somehow. Turns out it was Snape, um, uh, first sheriff in Nottingham. I loved him in Galaxy Quest. Do you guys watch Galaxy Quest? It's a, it's a great movie. Um, it's really a spoof of Star Trek conventions because the whole premise is that this whole cast of, this whole cast of, uh, like a Star Trek-like show, you know, going to this convention and then they get sucked up, um, uh, in outer space by people who think they actually are Trekkie, like actual, um, space faring, you know, adventurers or whatever. So it's funny. We'll run over, no worries. We'll have about 10 pictures. We'll be fine. Anyways. I have, I actually have an appointment that's happening at 11 and I'm good, I've already warned everybody I'm going to be late. Okay. Good. Uh, anyways, he did lots of stuff. He also was in Sweeney Todd, um, he played the judge in, uh, Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd. Are you playing six degrees again? I'm not. I'm just reading them. I'm just helping out. I'm just looking through here. And he was also in this movie and they were, and why wasn't Maggie Smith in this list? She is. I just haven't got to her yet. Really? Let me get to her quickly. So here's J.K. Rowling. Oh, there she is. I think is the right pronunciation. Um, and daughter of Pete Rowling and Anne Vellant, um, born in the sixties. And that's about all we have for her profile. She's still a living person and she's fairly private. So that's all we have here, but at least we have her. Now let's see if I look at her family tree and genealogy. That has been fairly well researched. Um, this is, this could, um, one would think you could get a little bit further back here, maybe, but, uh, anyways, um, her family tree, a Rowling is one of our celebrities. I don't know. I should go for that though. She's so private. Mm hmm. That's right. Here we have Dame Maggie Smith and she is the lat, she's the last one. Yeah, she's the last, uh, Dame Maggie Smith, um, Dame, uh, Dame Commander of the British, uh, Empire, um, wonderful actress, um, born on the 20th of December, 1934, Ilford Essex, England. Um, she had twin older brothers, um, moved to Oxford in 1938. She began studying, uh, at the Oxford Playhouse School at age 16. And her first role was when she was 22 in 12th night. Uh, and then she was part of a musical comedy called Share My Lettuce. What a great name. Lawrence Olivier himself invited Maggie to join his, uh, theatre company with the old Vic, um, she served her first Oxford nomination from playing Desmonda and Othello. Uh, anyway, she's won lots of stuff. Prima Miss Jean Brody, uh, uh, the Academy Award for best actress in that one. Downton Abbey. Downton Abbey, yeah. So besides Professor McGonagall, Downton Abbey is probably the other thing she's most known for. The Dowager Countess, Violet Crawley, yeah. She was wonderful. She can look down her nose with the best of them. Oh man. I just love her, her one liners, her put dads were just zingers. Zingers. Yes. That's right. Yeah. So she's, look at this. She's added more letters after her name when she was made, uh, companion, order of the companions of honor for service drama. The only other actress to receive this honor, Dame Sybil Florendyke and Dame Judy Dench. So, uh, great, great actress. Two children, five grandchildren, uh, nice profile. Good stuff. I'm done. Wow. Wow. You have, you have a minute for each one of your pictures today. Okay. Here we go. Uh, let me go. You might want to blow your screen up there. How's that? Is that good? More? Why is your screen not big though? There we go. Yeah. What, but her screen, if you look down at the, at the bottom underneath, the screen is full, but it's showing up. Oh, truncated or something. That's interesting. Should I try reloading the page or? Oh, that didn't help. That's odd. I think, I think it's just because of this one photograph because it's more portrait-y than landscaping. More portrait-y than landscaping. Like, later ones, are they? Those are technical terms, you know. Yeah. Tech rock. Okay. Can everybody, can everybody see okay? Yes? Okay. So the theme for the photos this week were, was winter. And Alexis Nelson had the first photo of her husband's great-grandparents. Nice. And I really chuckled at someone commented, you can tell, his face says, I got to shovel this when we get home. He does not look pleased. Or he's looking to figure out where he needs to start his shoveling. Where has this picture taken, does it say? Let's see. In Springfield, Missouri. Or Missouri. Missouri. Missouri? Yeah. It's a lot of snow for Missouri, isn't it? Azure wants you to try and maximize the screen, your computer screen. How, happy to, how do I do that? If you've got a, if you're, it's, you're on a Mac? Yes. And on Windows, you get, you've got a button to restore down or make your, maximize the screen. It's the green, it's the little green dot in the top corner. Will maximize. Okay. Thank you so much, Greg. The little green, oh, that. You know, the stop lights, the. There you go. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Azure. Hive mind. We got it done. Here's an adorable one of two little guys. Slutting. Pat Miller is on the left. How cute. I know. What was that? 1954. Yeah. I don't know if it says where, but just making the comment that life goes out when you're used to winter weather, life just goes on. You get outside and you go about your business. It certainly does here. I like that. This one was interesting. Sarah. Yeah. Yeah. Sarah. Sarah. Ponies, ponies. And 19, during the blizzard of 1978, this is from John Vaskey. And they are out looking for horses that had gotten loose during the storm. This has still got so high that ours and our landlord's horses just walked over the fence. And when I had, I had a four pound puppy that we had so much snow here. He walked over our eight foot stockade fence. Wow. Been there, done that. This is in Illinois. And John himself was on a horse on the other side of town roping a rowdy two-year-old filly. Wow. They got seven or six or seven horses and ponies, a goat and someone's milk cow. Rounded up. Did you have milk after that? Milk cow. Or did you return the cow? Oh, this gorgeous. From the 90s, our house in the snow from Mark Weinheimer. Don't know where, but it's lovely. Yeah. Beautiful day there. Okay. Here we have Donald Collins, his unknown girlfriend and his sister, Beatrice Collins. And from Jim, I'm sorry if I mispronounce your name, Weiberg. And Jim would love to know if anyone recognizes the lady in the middle, please send him a message. Also an interesting comment about you think he would be cold, but maybe undershirts were woven wool, remarkably warm. Right. Next is a copy of a tin type. Wow. It's really an amazing photo. Yeah. Nilsluken. Nilsluken. Thank you. That was so good. Yes, good one. Yohan. Pictured here in their winter outfits and they had emigrated to Iowa where the winters were still very cold, like what they were used to. And sadly, Yohan had passed away in childbirth about four years after this was taken. What a treasure to have that. Yeah. And he said his cousin has the original and that he will eventually inherit it. Winter in California involves rain, not snow. All their colorful rain ponchos, umbrellas, joists here. This is from Canada, right? John Thompson. British Columbia, am I right? Early this year for snow arrived? Beautiful, beautiful sunset. Nice, very nice. Gorgeous. I love it when it snows and you're out like, I went to a concert once over in Wakefield and coming home it snowed while we were there. Coming home, there wasn't anybody on the roads because the roads were bad and that's kind of in the mountains of the Gattano Hills. But coming down all the snow was heavy and all the fur and spruce trees on the south was gorgeous. Yes. Is that, do you think that's a lake off here to the right? Looks like. Well, if it's BC, it could be the Pacific Ocean. It actually, there looks like it's just a power tower or something. Yes, I see that. Yeah. It could be the Pacific Ocean. It could be an inlet. Right, right. Okay. This is mine. Could be Molly's reach. I found this when I was looking for something else. Is that you? That is me. Oh my God, you're adorable. Oh my God, I love you so much. Oh sweet, oh adorable. I love orange, red and yellow, orange like that. That's nice. My mom usually did not dress me up in this color palette, but this really stood out. That's funny. About three years old. Be glad you're not wrapped like the Michelin man. Yes. And we did have, I'm going to, oh, I can't escape. How can I? Oh, you have to wait. Okay. All right. There was one other photo that was on the free space page. Make sure you maximize your screen again. I did. How's that look? Sure. There you go. Okay. All right, so we've seen that and that. All right, the pony is Sarah. Getting deja vu here. Yeah, deja vu all over again. This one. Quite little, oh look at that. Our daughter sledding at Portland headlight in Maine from. That's nice. Nice. Who posted that? I don't know who posted that. That sort of reminds me of the White Sands hotel, you know, from Anne of Green Gables. Oh yeah. Huh, somebody asked me yesterday where to go for seafood in the states and I said Calabash, North Carolina. It's like just north of Myrtle Beach. And then I'm thinking that somebody who wants to drive down from Canada and I'm thinking, why didn't I tell them Portland, Maine? That's a good place to go for seafood too. So somebody saying yes, Lisa says yes, Greg, to you. About for, yeah, the White Sands hotel from Anne of Green Gables, yes. But yeah, the other place in Canada to go for seafood is Chediak, Prince Edward Island. They have a lobster festival every Sunday or every summer. I went out of my way. I spoke at a conference in Halifax and I went out of my way to have lobster in Halifax. Somebody said, you know, it's not fresh and I'm like, don't tell me that. It's fresher than you can get in Ontario. How can you say it's not fresh? We've got some stuff coming up. We do. Here we go. There are some questions that Chris is asking. So some of those important questions like the public review tab. And then down here, there's, oh, I have the other one. I'm like, oh, should we remove the middle name field? I don't think so, but if you want to have a vote on that, let's see how the vote's going. So make sure you upvote that. Okay. But let's go down here. 101 say yes and 51 say no. And I was one of those. And then I was also one of those. I would actually hate to lose this field. Yeah. I mean, they can be such a good clue like to family names that are... Well, and what Mindy is saying is that you can put the middle name in the first name field. And a lot of the JEDCOMs do that in port. They import the middle name in the first name field. Being somebody who does a lot of work with data, removing a field with the possibility of doing searches just on that field is what bothers me. So I don't know. It's an interesting question to go over and check that. And the public view, I don't have any issues with that. I haven't really voted on that yet. We've got Mariah Carey's ancestors registered now to help with Mariah Carey. And Mindy has piping up in the background there saying, join us for the challenge if you haven't already. Is this the last one of the year? Mariah Carey? Well, let's see if it says... Well, if it's a Christmas special, that would make sense, right? Yeah, 15th of December through 22nd of December. Unless they start one on Christmas Day, I don't think so. I don't think they will. Mariah Carey, which is kind of apropos since she has the number one Christmas song ever written. Oh, yes. You don't know that. No, I do. I didn't forget. Just not going to say it. Yeah, Mariah is the last one, Mindy says. So you've got that one coming up. If you've got some time, jump over and help out with that. Let's see. And again, if you want to figure out how to celebrate Wiki Tree's 15th anniversary, you're going to jump in on that and help out. There's actually an events group that's working together. If you want to join that, let Alain know. And there's an upcoming event this Wednesday, actually. Very shortly, Alesha is going to make a post and I'll ask Alesha anything. So I think it's going to be a monthly occurrence. I did that once. What's that? I did that once. You did that once. And I was on the computer for five hours with my mouth dropped open. It zoomed me through stuff. It was crazy. There wasn't an ask, Alesha, anything hour long thing during the Wiki Tree day. So anyways, it's going to be next Wednesday, December 6th. It's going to be at 9 a.m. Eastern time. So whatever that works out to again, I didn't do that. I think that would be what? 1 p.m. UTC. So I'm going to be the host. I'm going to be the one asking Alesha the questions. He'll be answering and stuff. So that will be on the YouTube channel. So come back here next Wednesday morning. I'll be here tonight. Eastern time, I think seven, I think six, seven or eight. The genealogy show. I'm talking about next generation sequencing testing. If you're interested in hopping over for that, it's a great show, great virtual event. Betsy, you've got something coming up tomorrow and then what? Yes. Yes. Tomorrow we have another new member Zoom, which will be, let's see, Eastern time. It'll be 11 o'clock Eastern time. Aowyn and I and maybe Hilary Gaspy in the chat. And that'll be Zoom called details are in the G2G post. And one more thing, there's bingo on Friday. Bingo is coming? Bingo is coming. Excellent. On Friday. Fantastic. Friday, there's the link. If you want to put us on your calendar, we will not be here on the 24th, but we will be here on the 31st. Bring your party hat and your noise makers for our New Year's Eve party. I believe we were talking about doing drinking games. We haven't figured out what word will make everybody take a drink, but we will have champagne. On our end, you bring your own. Have a good week and we will see you. Have a great week, everyone. See you next week. See you, Aowyn. See you next week. Bye. Bye. Maybe sort of. Yeah.
