 Something is different this morning. Something is different. Or three blind mice, but everything's orange. Still all. We're here, no evil, see no evil. Yeah, that's right. Speak no evil. Hey y'all, how are you doing? I'm fine. It's Saturday morning. Greg, where on earth is Greg? Greg, yes. Greg is in a hotel room in Miami. Greg and Dwight on a holiday. Yeah, we're taking a cruise. We leave tomorrow morning. So I'm here in beautiful Miami. The sun is not shining right now. It's cloudy out, actually. But it's much warmer than it is back home. Miami it is. Oh my gosh, we had a 20 degree temperature drop yesterday afternoon. So yeah, it's the Saturday morning live cast. We're here with my partners in crime, Greg Clark and Betsy Co. Although Betsy's being slightly distracted. This upfront thing, we can see your eyes going off to the left, looking at something over there. Just saying. So Betsy, how's the weather where you are? Chicago. We got snow last night. Just a dusting. I'm so glad. And tomorrow it's gonna be in the 50s. So I'm just focusing on the fact that it's all gonna disappear. Biscuits, somebody asked me to say biscuits. I said biscuits. Someone got you. Hey, y'all. It's the Saturday live cast. And here we are to tell you about what's happened in the week prior on WikiTree. And we'll be talking about what's gonna happen coming up on WikiTree. So we'll get this little show off to a start. And I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to connect. I was once sure I'd be able to connect or not. Cause all I've got is my iPad with me. So, but if I lose the connection or if I have to turn off my video, that is what's gonna happen. But when I looked at the date, I thought there's no way I can miss this. Cause today is February 24th of 2024. So February the second month. So two, 24, 2024. It's just a perfect day for math. He's math-ing. You're math-ing and you're getting ready to go to the Caribbean, really? I know. All right. So today we're not looking at Harriet Tublin. Tublin right now we're looking at, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Did you guys realize that if you throw a party for the Kiwis, they show up? Holy moly, goodness gracious. So Kia Ora, I don't even know if I'm saying that right. Do you have any ancestors or family members from New Zealand? That's the question of the week, New Zealand. Tell us about it with your answers below. And of course, as is so good about getting those social media posts up. So if you wanna share that information, please do. But we have some pretty good answers going on here. The first one I wanna point out is from Oliver Stagan. There were lots before, and there are, wait, we'll go back to the other screen real quick. There were 62 answers. Six, you throw, you say, hey Kiwis and they just, they show up. So 62 answers. But the very, the best answer so far for me is this one, is to my knowledge, I have no blood relations with New Zealand connections. However, my doctoral supervisor, whom in German I'd call a Dr. Mutter, was Miriam Meyerhoff, a notable Kiwi linguist. Alas, without a wiki tree profile yet. What could we do about this? To celebrate this New Zealand connection, I just created a profile for her father, notable philosophy for Professor Hans Meyerhoff. So there we go. And if she is a notable, she can have a profile, but let's work on him and move our way back from there. How about that? And that's the best answer. I loved that answer. There are too many, and there are too many words I don't know how to pronounce. But through the wonders of wiki tree, a descendant of his contacted me, and I don't know, I do know some information about them, that from M. Ross. So people sometimes have a problem associating the second cousin, one time removed, fifth brothers, sisters, brothers, boyfriend, whatever. So there's a lot of that in here. And Greg and Betsy can keep me honest. She says, I have two first cousins once removed, immigrated to New Zealand in the 1950s, and there are many children and grandchildren. Plus a third great uncle, Charles Wooten, from Staffordshire, England, and his family who originally arrived in New South Wales, Australia. And then 1881, the family were living in Otago, New Zealand. You guys are gonna be slicing and dicing me for the pronunciations. She knew nothing about him, but now she does. So that's wiki tree for you, getting you tuned in to everything else. We've got some other fun profiles to look at. I don't believe I have any relatives in New Zealand, but a good friend of my parents do. So there's a lot of that first cousins, brothers second. And one branch of my well-being, Lisa, you have well-burns? You have well-burns? Wait, connect, connect. One branch of my well-burns from my maternal side left England several generations ago and immigrated to New Zealand. My branch, my great-grandfather, his parents, his siblings left England, but instead stayed in Pennsylvania for a few years. My well-burns are down in Georgia and South Carolina, Union County, South Carolina. And then they migrated on over to Rabin County, Georgia. So just letting you know. Settling on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River in Canada. That's interesting. It's really pretty on the other side of the river too. Beautiful mountains, Gattanoels. We were talking about it just before we were saying that Julie, Greg's spousal unit needs to come up and do some cross-country skiing here in my backyard. Not literally, but I'm gonna try and do some scrolling here. Several families that immigrated from the UK to New Zealand, Ashworth, John Ashworth. And they've got some great popover and check out some of these. I love this, blue. So whenever I give myself a sneaky handle for fun, I call myself Modine Blue. So I like the surname blue. So, yeah, if you ever see Modine Blue on WikiTree, you know it's me doing something that I wanna see how something works as a regular, like a guest or something. So what is that, Hamilton, Wiccato, New Zealand? And then Moutique, Moutique, Cape Qua, New Zealand? Oh, Wamiah East? Come on, people, look at this list. I can pronounce that, Dunedin. I can pronounce that one. Stanley Silberg, Wilford Sharon, John Michael John, Longton Gifford. We're gonna check back at the end of this and see if anybody's working on this profile. Hans Meyerhoff. Should we go look at it real quick? Let's do that. So Hans Meyerhoff, here is the profile that he just created. Oh, no, did he not? Oh, there he did. He edited it. Holocaust sticker. Oh, wow. He's got it going already. Oh, look at that. We could so fill in some of that. Is he connected? Nope, don't see any connections. We could do some work on that for Oliver. All right. He has no parents or siblings. Oh, sure, yep. Yeah, you can't be connected without them. It has father unknown, mother unknown, yeah. But he does have a nice little thing. So let's see, we'll check back at the end and see if anybody's done any more work on it. That'd be fun. It's a seed. It's a seed. Make sure we can get back to it. Okay, there we go. All right, so, a long list here from Alan and Whistle. I have quite a few, quite a few. There are millions on here. The question of the week is full of millions of New Zealanders. Kiwis, oh yeah, and I wanted to say, what is a kiwi? So we all know of the fruit. Do we like kiwis? I like them, you? Yeah, oh look, you guys really fast on that. But in fact, the nickname is affectionate and being called a kiwi is a point of pride for most New Zealanders. The nickname kiwi comes from the small flightless bird native to New Zealand. During World War I, New Zealand soldiers were given a nickname and more than 100 years later, New Zealanders are still called kiwis. Yeah, I have a kiwi lunch at Roots Tech every year with Michelle Patient and Frank Keto. Now, Michelle isn't originally a kiwi, but she lives there, so that's, you know, it like rubs off on you. So yeah, bird people. I love the fruit and love it. I love the bird and the fruit. I like kiwi. I like a bird. I'm from Graz, what's Graz? Is that somewhere in New Zealand? I don't think so. I don't think so. All right, social media, nope. Back to where we were, bouncing all over the place. So we'll scroll down just a little bit more. This one is a cool one. My second cousin, five times removed, Anne Stone Preble, I can pronounce all that, was one of the earliest civilian settlers in New Zealand. Her first husband died in 1838 and she married the recently widowed James Preble. In 1839, she, her new husband, his children and her children embarked on the Aurora, one of the first ships bringing settlers to New Zealand. Their son, John Aurora Preble was born on board, on board the ship. They settled near Christchurch and the town of Prebleton was founded by and after two of her stepson's. That is really cool. And then she's got a detailed story here at this website. So that's from Janet Gunn, that's pretty cool to have that earliest settler to New Zealand. So somebody's fixin' her. I love, that's another thing I like about WikiTree. If you have a mistake somewhere in your profile and somebody sees it or you're answering a question and you have a typo, I have too many fingers and they're too fat for the keyboard and Greg can absolutely say, yes, I see it constantly from Mags. It's nice that people correct you gently. Thank you very much. Fifth generation to be born in New Zealand here. This is S. Rockhill. When I was young, I found out my mother was English. I joked my dad was that the only way he could get out of marrying a cousin was. When I went to boarding school, I was 13 years old, he asked me the names of all my fellow boarders, 80 odd girls. And he would reply back with what road in what area their family farm was on. So living on an island, I guess, Indogamy, they should use Dana Leah Larkin's new tool called the Banyan DNA. It's a tool that's really cool for looking at how Indogamy shows up in a family. And Greg's tool, his six degrees tool, if you turn that into a pedigree, that pedigree chart will show you all the Indogamous connections in your lines as well. That is a really cool tool on WikiTree. So two great tools for Indogamy. 17 degrees apart, Rockwell. So, and that's Rockwell. See all these Kiwis are just having too much fun. Born and raised here, Kirstie Ward. I didn't realize Kirstie was from New Zealand or in New Zealand. Still live here, fantastic place to bring up our kids. Family both sides came in from Scotland and England except my paternal grandmother, she's a traveler or a gypsy. So no one really knows where she came from. My DNA tests says Romania, of course. Didn't know we're all travelers. Yeah. Do you guys have any New Zealand connections, Greg? Not even adjacent. Like I certainly don't have my, some of my English roots went to Australia. Nobody went to New Zealand. Yeah, my odorities, one of our odorities went to Australia and never was heard from again. And I keep waiting to see somebody pop up with Australian roots and some of the DNA matches for my adorities. Yes, families still live in New Zealand, Left Christ Church, New Zealand in 2002, 22 years old to seek my fame and fortune. Now I live in Toronto, Canada. Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot. I am a direct descendant of Daniel Isles and Jane Primer who are fourth grade grandparents. So she's got some cool stuff, some New Zealand notables. I am blood relation include. So all black captain, Kyrian Reed, all New Zealand. Okay, so it must be footballers. So the all black captain, Kyrian Reed or Kyrian Reed, New Zealand cricket, George Gressel. We need to look and see if these Kiwis are on here on wiki tree. You guys, we're gonna test you people when we get done. All right, let's go over here and jump to it. Oops, let's go back to the question of the week. You ever wondered how to find it? You just scroll down here and go. Yeah. We're getting some options in the chat or sports that they might play. Yeah. Or rugby. Yeah, because rugby and cricket are the biggest sports. Is it cricket or rugby? I don't know. And soccer as well, or football. I have a lot of friends, Michelle patient whenever we are at the same place and we're traveling. She's always watching football matches. So great Fred, John Fred Bone of Leicester, Manchester and Oldham raced bicycles as JF Bone in the 80s and 90s, the 1880s and 90s. The bicycles were built by the Bone family. And he told my grandmother that his uncle George Bone had become quite wealthy and immigrated to Christ Church, New Zealand. The Bone family's first names were George, John, Edgar, Richard, Harry and William. And of course, as genealogists, we know those went on for like 85 generations. I haven't been able to reliably source George Bone in the Christ Church branch, but I keep looking. Anybody know of a cycle maker named James Bone of Christ Church? Anybody want to look that up? I bet we can't find it if she hasn't. Make sure we vote those up. Susan Akroyd, I doubt she's in relation to Dan Akroyd. He's from Ottawa. I was born and raised here in New Zealand. My mother immigrated from India in 1949 with her family. And my father is a third generation Kiwi with his ancestors coming from Scotland and Northern, Northland region of New Zealand. The Northland region of New Zealand. So does that mean that your father is indigenous? Aboriginal? Aboriginal, I guess they would say. That's fun. Hakka is a ceremonial dance. People are talking. Yeah, Greg, you're unusually quiet. I agree. He's running around the hotel room making sure everything's just right behind him. Uh-oh. Yeah, Greg is probably having some connection issues. So he'll be back in a minute or he's just audio. Are you audio, Greg? Rugby is American football adjacent. Isn't it close to American football than soccer? I would agree with that. My son played rugby in high school and I so enjoyed watching him play. But the whole time I was watching him without pads and anything and I was just thinking he's just gonna get killed. But he didn't, he did quite well. Thank you. Hey, Pat, Rye, made it in person? Yeah. And Greg is still muted. So if you realize you're muted, Greg. Hello, Greg. All right. Hello, Greg. Oh, this is really wild. I got my, I put on my headphones because I thought there was a little bit of an audio feedback from my iPad. There was. And then I've been muted myself so that that would be reduced. But something just happened and all of a sudden, Megs, your voice sounds like you are a ultra bass speaker. Really? You did sound like you were saying this. Well, I'm so sorry. All right, so we just got the definition. I'm gonna take out my headphones and see what it sounds like. Okay. Were you having some connection issues as well? Cause your video is gone. It is, it must be the connection there. Here's our first Aboriginal. I am part Maori, several other nationalities and a direct descendant of several notable chiefs from the Wiccato and Northland region. So there we go again, the Northland region. So the Maori. So that is what we may have seen up here with that family up there. That's cool. So there's lots of opportunities to get in here and do some work on some of these, some of these great profiles from New Zealand. And boy, don't say, hey, any Kiwis here cause they'll show up. I love that. I'm gonna switch this off and move on. Oh no. We're gonna move on to Greg just because he's in a black hole. I can't hear you. Oh, he's really down a Greg. Greg, testing one, three, Greg. Okay. All right. All right. So while Greg is getting that together, I'll go ahead and get, we're gonna do things differently today. We do have the connection combat. So we're gonna be doing that, but we're also going to be doing, let's go back over here. Where were we? Let's go back up to Wiki Tree. There we go. So for today's connection combat, we're doing it's Black History Week or month here in the Northern atmosphere. Canada and the US are celebrating that. And the connection feature today is the Underground Railroad. And if you don't know what the Underground Railroad, it was a secret network through which tens of thousands of enslaved African-Americans found their freedom. So play this connection game by checking out how you're related to Eros, Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman was kick ass. I'm sorry. She was pretty darn cool the way she, she saved so many people. She saved so many people and fought in the Civil War, literally. Yeah. I didn't know that. Wow. John, John Tiner's at walking his dog. That's okay, John. Can you hear me? Yes, we can. Yes, and you sound normal again. We can see I'm not dogting in base anymore. Oh, it was so wild. I thought, oh, what other video was playing? And then I'm, those are the, I think that sounds like what Mags is probably reading. It doesn't, but it was so wild. You recorded me and thanks for popping that up. You're like a half second in front of me there. Yeah. And it's a good book. And she also, there was a movie that was premiered here in Canada at the Tiff Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival that was Harriet. And if you haven't seen that, please do. My spousal unit got to go to the premiere. I was not happy when I found out that. Yeah. So, yeah, so I'm gonna turn that over to Greg. I was just filling some space into you guys. Well, thank you very much for introducing that. Yes. You have the Underground Railroad. Black. The Underground Railroad? Are you being Elmer Fudd? Am I being Elmer Fudd? Yeah, you were going in Underground Railroad? I don't think I did. Well, blame it on the Wi-Fi in the hotel, you know. We'll do that. So we are gonna try and do what we've been doing all along. So the first two profiles, of course, are Harriet Tubman, as Meg's already talked about, and Frederick Douglas. So please put in the chat, whether you're closer to Harriet or Frederick, or you could put Tubman or Douglas. So who are you gonna go with first? So we're gonna start with Harriet. All right. Yeah, you already talked about Harriet a lot, so there's not much more I have to add, except that she is so amazing. You sort of want to go on. She was born Araminta. Minty was her nickname as she was growing up, but she did change it later to Harriet. But she, Araminta Ross. Was the name of her and slave originally, or that was the family name she grew up with. One of the interesting thing, born at 6th of March, 1822, Buckton Dorchester, Maryland, United States. And Tubman comes from her first marriage to John Tubman. So that's, you always know her as Harriet Tubman. And then she did marry a second person, Nelson Davis, because when she escaped from slavery, her first husband did not. And so ended up marrying someone else after she left it eventually. And then she did marry, her second husband actually was a, I'm pretty sure, the second husband was a barber from Toronto. Wow. Well, I thought that was pretty cool. Another interesting fact in her biography is that her parents got married when their respective enslavers got married to each other. So I thought that was an interesting connection. I don't know, I wonder if that happened often back then, but, so she had came from a large family and she eventually did escape from, so I've got some notes that I made and I've got my little iPhone here. If I can't read the font on Meg's screen there. So this might go a little, no, no, that's fine. I think that's fine. One thing I really like about this profile is that they haven't interspersed pictures throughout the profile, which highlight different things. So that's kind of neat things. I'm being able to see Harriet Tubman, such a famous historic figure. Right. Very cool. So she escaped to Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I believe. It was. Yeah, there was an old wagon road, but I thought she took the seat. The first time she went over ground, like she was back and forth and back and forth. Yes. So there was an old wagon road that went from almost in Georgia, actually straight up through South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and straight into Philadelphia. They called that the old wagon road. It is the old wagon road of the US. Wow. Wow. So yeah, she escaped and then eventually, she did escape to Canada at one point, but she went back and forth, rescuing lots of people. I don't know if they know the exact number, but I think 70 to 80 was the estimate in the profile. And one thing I learned about now, maybe all of you know this, I imagine many of you Americans know all about this, but the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, it was mentioned in Harriet's profile, it was also mentioned in another couple other, the importance of that, because my understanding from Canada, because we didn't study US history in great detail, the fine detail that I'm sure you guys do, was that slaves escaped from the South to the Northern States where it was no longer legal, like even before the Civil War, it wasn't legal or without law in some states. We thought, well, there's Scott Free now, they're safe. And I guess in some places in the 1840s, they were relatively safe comparatively, but then this law that came out in 1850, the Fugitive Slave Law made it that if anyone was caught, no matter whether they were in a free or a slave state, they had to be returned. And that is just a lot of mass crime. And there were people who were just fanning out, they even came up into Canada and we're trying to get the enslaved people back from Canada as well. Oh, yeah. But that they couldn't do, could they? Yes, yes they could. Canada, if somebody brought their enslaved people with them, then they were enslaved in Canada as well. Canada did not actually repeal slavery officially until they passed a law that said that you cannot capture and keep an enslaved person unless you have a jail in which to do so. And nobody had jails. And so that basically made that law that we would allow people to come and take them back. That kind of made it null and void. So that worked. I think that the Official Anti-Slavery Act passed what in the 1830s at some point here, but prior to that, there was that little bit. I've done some research on Canadian enslavement as well because I've researched a family of former American enslaved that moved to Port Hope, Ontario. So that was an 1830 of that act you were talking about. So that- Yeah, I don't remember the exact dates, but I can look it up. So, but by 1850, if they made it here, they were safe. Yes, basically after 1830, when they said if you, I don't remember the exact date of that, but I remember it said if you have a prison in which to put them, then you could do that, but nobody had- No one would, yeah. No, nobody had that at that point. So that explains why so many of the underground railroad people arrived in Canada at the time. Rochester and Fierda-Lisi is saying that Port Erie in Canada was part, so yeah. I'm sorry. I don't mean to derail you. No, no problem. And in fact, there is a church. Yes. There's a place that's really close to where I live. It's only about about a half hour drive between Barrie and Aurelia, actually, in Ontario, where there was a church. And I think it was, I think it's declared a historic place where it was one of the farthest places on the underground railroad. And there's also one in Meathood area around there, you know, too. So they got pretty far into Ontario. Yeah, yeah, they did. Very impressive. But anyway, Harriet then, yeah, as Meg said, she fought in the Union Army. She was a cook and she did a number of different things, a nurse, but she lived into her 90s. So that's really quite hard now. The church, Kristall says the church is in Aura. That's right. That's exactly it, yeah. Aura is now officially Aura Medante. They merged those two townships since she moved away, Kristall. But yeah, that's it. That's the church. That's exactly it. Can we, before you go into Frederick Douglass, can not everybody in the chat knows how to play the game? Can I just take a quick second and show? Sure. Okay, so I'm, yeah. Just at the bottom. You're going to get a Charles Monroe. Yep. Okay, now I am on my profile all the way at the bottom. And this is the quickest way to see. If you have the extension, you'll see it this way. Yeah, if you don't have the extension, it's still at the bottom, but it's in long lines of text. But if you have the extension, it's vertical and it starts from most closely to least closely connected. If you want to see if you're a cousin, then you would click on the person and then it will say if you're a cousin with them. So I hope that helps. Okay. And I've decided that if the extension ever goes away, I will probably have a breakdown because I love that browser extension. Oh yeah, there's still much in it. That's just amazing, yeah. Yep. So then the next one, the one that Harry is paired with is Frederick Douglass. Okay, I got to bounce back to him. Sorry about that. No problem. Woo! Zoom, sorry if I got anybody sick. Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. And Bailey was the name that he was given when he was first born, but of course, from the enslaver. But then he chose the last name Douglass later on when he became freed. And Douglass is, you may or may not remember, it was my birth name, my father's paternal name. So that's my paternal line. So I thought, well, this guy will be the closest and he is the closest, but he's not a direct cousin. So I'm not a cousin to him, but I am actually a direct cousin of his second wife. So when you look at the connection, you know, that graph, there's only two colors. There's Frederick is in one color and then his second wife and everyone down to me is in the other color. So. Did you spell it with one S or two Ss, Greg? My father spelled it with one S. So I spell it with one S on Wickey Tree. But his grandfather has two Ss and beyond. So there's a, yeah. At one point we lost an S. So he was born, he was a, he's renowned African-American social reformer or writer, statesman who was born into slavery just as Harriet Tubman was. And most of our profiles, though not all. And then he escaped and he became a leader in the abolitionist movement. He be, not only was he, he was a leader, he was a speaker, a well-known speaker and then went on sort of various talking circuits as well, decrying slavery and promoting abolitionism. Interesting, he had a difficult childhood, of course, as one expects, but he was taught how to read and write by various people he met along the way. And it was so important to him that he was, he would barter on the streets in exchange for more, for more education, for learning more about reading and writing. So impressive, you know, that dedication or knowing how important that skill was from early on. He escaped many times after and after failed escape attempts, attempted escapes. He was taken to Baltimore and given to someone that they called a slave breaker, which does not sound good. But one impressive thing about it, he said that eventually he basically forgave the person who captured him or whatever and said that he adored the slavery, not the man himself. So that's quite big of him to, for that type of, to forgive my thought at that point. And anyway, he escaped north dressed in a sailor's uniform that was stitched by his fiance. Isn't that sweet? I think that's really, that's really cool. That is cool. Yeah, and that his fiance was Anne Murray, not the Anne Murray, the great Canadian song, songwriter that we all know and love. Well, maybe you guys don't know and love, but, you know, a different Anne Murray, but just as sweet, I'm sure. And then, so he changed his name to Douglas after a Walter Scott poem. I don't know that poem, but that's interesting. And then they had five children, three sons who served in the Civil War and became a favorite abolitionist and anti-slavery speaker. Later he met up with William Lloyd Garrison, who was also a famous speaker. And I think they shared a stage at a rally and then he was so William Lloyd Garrison, who was a publisher of a newspaper, was so impressed that he invited them along to other events and so that's what he was known for. So even after slavery and after the Civil War, he had his wife, he had a second wife, who was actually a white suffragette and she was speaking out for women's rights to vote, of course, and he spoke at one of her rallies in 1895. And then, but then shortly after that's when he passed away. So he was a champion of civil rights of all types. You're impressive. Wow, look at the list there. I like that they have put that up there. I saw a comment that somebody asked, sorry, go ahead, let's see. No, no, that was, I was just, I saw a post yesterday that somebody asked that they not post the enslaver template on a profile because they didn't want that or they didn't want the enslaver information in a report that a genealogist was doing because they didn't think that was appropriate for their family to see. That's, yeah, no, educate, put that out there because you're keeping other people from finding their family by not showing that you did. So having the slaveholders here actually gives other people an opportunity to go and look in those records to see, oh, I had an Anthony, maybe this guy in Maryland was my Anthony. I also wanted to make another comment. Frederick Douglass' portrait here is one of the most iconic portraits ever done. It really says a lot about him, this whole portrait of this very distinguished, very educated man. And people who do colorizing of photographs, I disagree with doing that because you have no idea what the true colors were. You have absolutely no idea what the tone was, but seeing this black and white portrait of this beautiful man is, you know, it really says something. I just wanted to get on my soapbox. I'm off. All right. So how does Frederick Douglass pull? Yeah, I already entered it on the spreadsheet, 21 for Frederick Douglass and four for Harriet Tubman. Wow. Wow. Are we gonna share that spreadsheet? Oh. I can't share it, because on the iPad that's the one thing I can't do. Sure, sure, yeah, we can share. Hang on, I gotta go back too. I've got a sore neck all of a sudden. Yeah, I bet you do. Well, I'm leaning at a different angle and trying, you know, so it's just, you know. There we go. There we have it. There we go. We three are all closest to Douglass. Nobody's a cousin, 21. Oh, it's 20. So there was only two people that I was actually cousins with and it looks like all three of us are cousins of those same two people coming up. Yeah, he had relatively few too. Yeah, yeah. So the next two are William Still and who did I pair him with, Levi Coffin. I'm gonna go to Coffin first. I figured he would be because we have Coffins in Georgia, but no. Oh, really? Yeah. So the connection there are conductors. They are both conductors on the Underground Railroad. So Levi Coffin was a Quaker and there's a couple different, Quakers come up a couple of times in the profile. So, and I'm guessing it's part of, it was part of their, I don't know if it's part of the religion, but it seems to be, it fits with their religious beliefs too, about anti-slavery sounds like it was something that would fit with their ethos. So he's born on the 20th of October, 1798, Guilford County, North Carolina, United States of America. And he passed away at 16th of September, 1877 in Hamilton County, Ohio. He had now seen the one who had lost. Oh, you may go back up here for the children. No, no, that's, yeah. Oh, well, yeah. There we go. Jesse, Anderson, Thomas, Henry, Anna, Sarah. Yeah. There we go. Okay. One of the profiles has an extreme number of children, but I don't know if I wrote that note in down on my short notes. I'll keep an eye out for it. Yeah, keep an eye out for it. So this is interesting. This profile actually is under the project protection of the Quaker project. And so I don't know if any of it, so people haven't really been working on it, unless I guess they were part of that project. So, but he's a notable part of the abolitionist movement. And let's see, moving down. Businessman, he was, his place was known as the Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad. Oh, wow. People went through his area. I'm looking through that. I don't see that. There we go. Yeah. He grew up in a farm. He was a school teacher, first organizing a Sunday school for black children and the Quaker efforts and there we go. He sheltered Eliza Harris, who was connected with Uncle Tom's Cabin somehow. I'm not sure where the connection there is between Eliza Harris and Uncle Tom's Cabin. But... Yeah, we should have had somebody come in from the Black History Project with us today. That's right, yeah. If you guys know that connection, pop it up in the chat, we'll post it. Yeah. He was also connected, so he moved to Indiana and then Cincinnati, Ohio. And he was involved with the Spreedman Bureau, which is huge and all those records that are now available. Yes. He's a huge boon for genealogists trying to make connections. So that's very impressive. It's interesting they call him the overseer. Yes, I was gonna say a humble overseer the Underground Railroad, he passed away in 1877. Very influential man for the work that he did. And a nice profile. There's been a lot of discussion in some of the projects about whether to put census information in a list or into a table. So it's been interesting following that. Nice profile. Yeah. And who's the next one? William Still. There we go. Is the other one. I feel like we're running on a flat tire. Yeah. Trying to do all this stuff. Yeah. So he was a conductor, involved in civil rights. And he was born on October 1821, bit younger than the last guy who was born in 1798. He was born in Burlington, New Jersey. And he passed away in 1902 at the age of 80 in Philadelphia. So part of black history. He was an African-American abolitionist based in Philadelphia. A conductor on the Underground Railroad. He was a businessman, a writer, a historian and civil rights activist. His parents came to New Jersey separately versus father, Glock, his freedom in 1798 from his master in Maryland. And then charity, his mother escaped twice from Maryland. And after the census, I think there's a little bit more. So that's okay. Children? Yeah, born children that survived. And then the children all went on to do different things. Graduated from the university and whatnot. So his legacy is, it was an indefatigable worker in Philadelphia Underground. So one of those quiet people that just kept things moving and going, still kept the day-to-day records, which were published. So that would be an interesting read. He was a co-emergent. Yeah, he was interesting. He continued to campaign against discrimination. He wrote a compilation of letters. Interesting. Oh, and there's some research notes down here. Oh, I love the research notes, yes. Yeah, and one of them was from a private message from his four times great-granddaughter. Isn't that cool? That is cool. That is very cool. All right, who are the next ones? Or no, over two. Well, let's see, so who won? Did people show who they were closest to? Yes, 19 for Levi and four for William Still. Okay, let me come on over here. I've got it up. Oh, I had it up. Oh, sorry, we're doing the same thing at the same time. Okay. You were looking down, so I popped it up for you. Got it, thank you. In 19, okay. Seems to be a consensus. All three of us agree with that, too. Yep. Okay. That's very cool. Who are the next two? The next two are John Brown and John Brown. Bond, Bond and Brown. Bond and Brown. Here's John Brown. John Brown. So John Brown, of course, also an abolitionist, but he was a, what you would call a radical abolitionist because he believed strongly after some things that he witnessed that the only actual cure for slavery is armed liberation was the phrase that he used. Wow. You see all the kids there for him. That's, if you can just share your screen there. Oh, I should do that, shouldn't I? He's the one that has all the kids. It is, yeah, look at that list. Yes, he was married twice. I love the signature. I know. I know. We were talking about that just the other day, weren't we Betsy? Yes, I never, I haven't resolved my question yet, but yeah. So Betsy's question, and we were talking about this the other day is, I don't know if it was your question or someone asked you the question, Betsy. It was my question, yeah. It was your question. If you have a document that's the documents on ancestry, but you just want to clip the picture of the signature from that record. The question is, is that legit to take a snapshot of that picture? No, no, that's what I thought. Yeah, the ancestry claims copyright over everything. So, but you can link to it. Fortunately, we had somebody do a whole bunch of research over in the Duke records. And so I have a signature that I can use for my grandfather because it wasn't, it was private research, so. Right, yeah. See, my reaction was, well, since that person's my second great-grandfather, then I genetically descend from that signature, so I should. It's mine. I like that we take ownership of our ancestors and ownership of their stuff. And the reason that I love WikiTree so much is that it's all free. Yes. I've noticed over the weekend that somebody had pictures of my grandmother up that I know that I'm the only one that has those pictures. And when I see somebody that has a picture up that they've taken from my WikiTree profile for somebody, I just pop over and add my name as the person, the owner of the picture and just say, photo courtesy of, and I don't get an argument with them and stuff. Well, that's nice. It's the chair. Yeah. So yeah. So he, that, John Brown, radical abolition, armed insurrection to overthrow the institution of slavery was his modus operandi. So that is, you know, given the state of things and one of the things that they're right there, he saw the murder of, so he worked for a newspaper and he saw the publisher of that newspaper and the slavery newspaper was murdered by a mob of pro-slavery people. So I think that helped form that impression or that belief in him. So he sort of took it on himself to do the, you know, to do the opposite. So that's, or do the same thing to the other side. So he and other people that he rallied did a number of raids. There was one that's very famous, the Potta Botani massacre where they dragged five pro-slavery supporters out of their cabins, hacked them to death and that's, I don't think that's, personally. No. That's not the right way to go about it. But when you see someone doing that, you can sort of understand that reaction, don't agree with it, but I can, anyways, that was term bleeding Kansas. Later on, eventually, most of those people were eventually caught. He himself was caught and hung and he lost some of his sons, I believe, as well. Yeah, it was saying one of his sons went crazy or it had breakdowns. Oh yes, because, yes. One of his sons was involved and the other two brothers, when they found that out, they had a breakdown when they realized that what they had gone through, what they had done. Yeah, that's a hard one. How do you balance the reaction to such a horrible thing? Exactly. And people become impassioned. So Harper's Ferry, that's a biggie. It is, yeah. That's interesting that he was a part of Harper's Ferry because that's like a biggie. That's a biggie. That was one of the main ports where... Yeah, and that's like one of the things that started all of the, really brought things to the surface about people, general public being more informed about some of the stuff that was going on that people weren't aware of. Yeah, yeah. Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, in his, yeah, Malcolm X. So yeah, that's cool. And the other one was John Bond. John Bond. There we go. Yeah, Bond. Bond, John Bond. Exactly. And he was an agent on the Underground Railroad, born in 1807 in North Carolina, and passed away in, on the 23rd of September in 1897. In Randolph, Indiana. Age of 89. They lived in Wayne County, Indiana. There's a couple of Indiana. Yeah. Profiles that have an Indiana connection here. A lot of people who were anti-slavery in the South moved to Indiana. Indiana was like a safe haven for people who were against slavery. I had family that moved there from not. Cause it's right on one of the Great Lakes, isn't it? Right on Lake Michigan, yeah. Yeah. So it's pretty far north. So he and his wife, Emily, were agents of the Underground Railroad. And after the passage of that law in 1850, they managed to rescue, they managed to rescue service. And I almost said Windsor, Ontario, but no, it's Windsor Randolph County. And they relied on, and they actually got help from Levi Coffin, who we just talked about a few minutes ago. So that was interesting. I'm reading the fight of Margaret and Susan. Chase the women, women. Chase the women to Cabin Creek in Randolph County, but abandon the chase at the site of corn knife-wielding grandmother, Millie Wilkerson. You'll get away from them. You'll get away from them, yeah. That's great. That's neat, eh? And there's the connection with the Coffin family. Yeah. Oh, there's your list. Yeah. Not as many. Not quite. And again, you see, he's around the Greensboro area. Interesting now. Yeah. All right. Who's Matt? How did the Johns do in the park? Well, it was interesting because we had a lot of ties on this one. Oh. So we came out John Brown, 19, and John Bond, 12. Oops. Brown, 19. Brown, 19, and Bond, 12. Okay. All right. Let's see how smoothly I can do that. Okay, next is Thaddeus Stevens. Oh, wait a second. Is there someone I want to do next? Hey, you know, and Judy, I have to tell you that those corn knives were really sharp because back in the day, you didn't make cream corn with milk and butter and all that. It just had corn from the cob, milk of the cob, and water. And the way you cut it, you shaved it with a very sharp knife. Then you shaved it again, and then you shaved it again, and then you turn the blade sideways and you actually milk the cob into the pan and you cook that for the like nine minutes. And that's how our family eats cream corn. My family. That sounds like a lot of work. That's a very sharp knife. It's wood though. It is so good. Okay. Wow. Okay, so Ira Dillingham Draper is, he's a pioneer from Kentucky. Biscuits. Biscuits. Is Berksville, Cumberland, Kentucky, is that in the Appalachians? I just, you know what, I'm a poor Canadian who just thinks that all of Kentucky must be part of Appalachia. Come on, Biscuits. Tell us if that's in Appalachia. So he's the one who has the most amazing siblings list. Wow. Wow. I think he has maybe more siblings than children but it's pretty close. Wow. Now some of them are half siblings. It looks like, but even still. But he passed away at a pretty good age, 76 in 1991 in Nebraska. So he is, was a pioneer. He did lots of things, but including the becoming involved with the underground railroad and helping escape slave. But he also headed to Nebraska, where he homesteaded. It said in the top there that he fought adversity. He was a pioneer in every sense of the word, a man who faced danger and adversity with courage and grace through his life. Then he worked for the Pony Express. So I think I always think that's kind of cool. Yeah. And then went on to establish modern day Dawson, which is a city in, then Sundance, Wyoming. And his grandsons and by his daughter are became one of the biggest ranchers in Wyoming. So I think that's kind of cool too. I wonder if any of them are, you know, the new, that TV show Yellowstone, which is based on any of his children. He had 12 kids. He had 12 kids. Now this is a really nice profile too, if you scroll through it. It's a nice mixture of the images. And then there's a, I think there's a newspaper article lower or down. I wanted Dead or Alive. Yes. Wow. Yeah. Oh, then it goes into family life. Yes, yes. Born in Portland this night in Kentucky. Yeah, this is a really well done, really nicely done. Yeah, so the underground railroad connection there was in Iowa, I think it said. I love the map. I know the map is so cool to see the route that people took. Notice how it went so far around Missouri. Yeah. Yeah. Missouri was a big, pro-inspector state. Yeah. All right, cool. You just, we just keep on going and going. I know. It's a lovely profile. Yeah. I encourage everyone to go back and read that one fully. All right. And then the other one who was a pioneer of sorts, I think I put down was Thaddeus Stevens. All right, let me get him back up. There we go. And he was a pioneer in that he was actually a politician. And he was an abolitionist. So he, born in 1792, Daniel Caledonia, Vermont. So not in the, I imagine that was a free state at that point. Yes. He passed away in 1868 in Washington, D.C. and he opposed slavery and assisted with, he assisted with the Underground Railroad. And in particular in Congress, he was the primary force behind the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery. So to connect those two together, I called him pioneers because he was definitely a pioneer and as a politician fighting for those rights. Yep. Now it says his nicknames was the old commoner and the great commoner, but I couldn't, when I read the profile, I couldn't forget where that came from. It came from, like what was it about him that made him, like what was the commoner? I don't know. He spoke the language of the common people, wasn't highfalutin, is that what it is? Thaddeus, I don't know. Cobbler, a cobbler son. Yeah, so yeah, he is a common that way. I love the old writing. I know, isn't that neat, yeah. Why can't we write as nicely as, and also as poorly, just again, ways on that. They weren't always nice, yes, that's right. Yeah, a member of the House represented those and whatnot. So yeah, Stevens County, Kansas, named it as honor. There's a center for history and democracy. And Tommy Lee Jones played him, yeah, that's the. Tommy Lee Jones, well, you've made a big of Tommy Lee Jones is doing you in a movie. Well, that's pretty cool. So how did, yeah. Okay, so we had 17 for Draper and eight for Stevens. Slide your slider over there a bit, Betsy, please. What, oh, I'm not even projecting. No, that was you. Oh, that was me? Yeah, so just slide your slider over so we can see. Yeah, hold on, I'm not there yet. I popped you up. Okay, all right, 17 for Draper and eight for, whoops, eight. Okay, yep. There we go. All right. Okay, the next two are really cool. And I've grew them as interracial marriages. So the first one Matilda Hicks Jackson, born of route 1800 and died about 1870, born in Georgia, passed away in Texas. She was born to slavery and she was owned by her husband's father. Okay. So her, she was black, her husband was white. So she and her husband, who was a former slave owner himself and a union, but was a union loyalist. They left Alabama in a group of covered wagons with several other adult children and 11 freedmen and they settled in the deep south in Texas and they started a ranch near another interracial couple. And that ranch is believed to have served as a station on the southern underground railroad route that took people to Mexico for freedom. Nice. And so the other interesting point in the bio is that when they were originally married, of course, it wasn't legal for a black and a white person to marry each other. So that marriage wasn't counted as legal. So they had to get remarried in another state. Wow. Yeah. She's listed as a house servant. Yes. In her own home. Wow. Right. Because there was no other way they could have officially legally written down, I guess. What was the other name there? The other one is Ellen Smith. Ellen, there we go. There we go. Yeah. So this one, it's not exactly a black and white person, but the cool thing, so she was born in 1826 in Georgia, passed away at the age of 65 in 1991 in Charleston, South Carolina. But she's a black woman and her husband's a black woman, but she's like a black man. Black man. What did I say? A black woman. She's a black woman and he's a black woman? No. Yeah. But she's light enough that she was able to masquerade as a white male slave owner, taking her husband as her slave when they did their escape. Isn't that wild? That is wild. Yeah. Boston. She passed off as a white male planter and used him as her personal servant when they escaped to the North until they arrived in Philadelphia on Christmas Day, what a momentous day for that. And then they made it to Boston and they've been married to slaves, but then they were officially married again in Boston. Wow. Then they went to England. Yes, because after the act in 1950 that we already talked about, they were really worried about that, especially if the story about how they escaped, I imagine even more targets, even worse. So they went across the pond and stayed there for a couple of decades. They eventually did come back home though, because she did pass away. In Charleston. Okay, Charleston, yeah. They were lecturing and touring, so they were out there, that's for sure. Yeah. I still, I love seeing the names of those enslavers. Nice. So I thought those were two very interesting stories. So how did they, how did Ellen? Yes, we had 16 for Jackson and four for Kraft slash Smith. I've got it up for you. Thank you. Okay, 16 to four. Ellen is my closest. Hmm. And Greg and Betsy are closest to Matilda. Yeah. Interesting. Then the last two profiles, Marianne Shad and Josiah Henson. Marianne Shad is a public, so the connection between these two are they're both, they both ended up in Canada. Can they get in contact? That's right. So Marianne, let me just flip that over. Oh, sorry, thank you. No problem. How did you do that? Well, I can do everything on my iPad that I would normally do on my laptop except share my screen because on an iPad you can only have one app open at a time. Gotcha. And when you go to share the screen it opens up another app and then shuts. Oh, that would make me crazy. Okay, all right. Well, there is actually a way you can share things but I don't share things while you're video streaming. Gotcha. We don't wanna try it right now. No, no. Okay, Marianne was born in 1823 in Wilmington Newcastle, Delaware and then passed away in 1893 in Washington, DC. She had lots of siblings too. Lots of siblings there too, yeah. So she was a part of Black History. She was a publisher. She was the first African-American woman publisher in all of North America and the first woman publisher in Canada. Now, that seems surprising that she's the first woman publisher in Canada but maybe. Tell me where to go. Yeah, so her father was a grandson of Hans Schatz so had some German Hessian roots, I believe. Attended Quaker boarding school. Yeah, so there's another Quaker connection there, yeah. So she was trained by the Quakers and so they use that phrase Quaker trained. So she was a teacher and then she moved to Canada. So I don't know if she herself followed the Quaker religion or was just trained with them. And so, but there's something about the Quaker ethos, I think that fits with anti-slavery appellations. And it was an anti-slavery newspaper. Right, that she was the publisher there, yeah. And so as the publisher, she was able to travel to the US and Canada but at great personal risk, of course. Right. And then she married, oh, she's the one who married the Toronto barber. So maybe I mixed that. You know, in my research that I did for that Port Hope family, that was one of the things that was discussed a lot is that a lot of African-American slaves that came up were pushed into becoming barbers. So you hear a lot about Canadian barbers in Ontario who were formerly slaves. So that was interesting to read that. The family that I researched were barbers. Interesting, neat. Unfortunately, her husband died just four years after their marriage and didn't ever get to meet this second child because she was pregnant at the time when he died, wasn't that sad? She served as a recruiting officer in Indiana. Interesting. That is fun. Yeah, and she taught in the black schools in Wilmington and laid to rest in Columbia and Harmony Cemetery. Nice, there's a legacy statement down there if you wanna check it. Oh, nice, former residence is now at her National Historic Landmark, she was designated Woman's History Month Honoree in 1987 in Canada, designated her as a personal National Historic Significance. Nice. All right, who is our other person in that? The last one is Henson, Josiah Henson. All right. Josiah's a name you don't get to say very often. No! He was a Reverend, Reverend Josiah Henson from La Piatta in Charles, Maryland. Twice and had a few, one, two, three, three children. He died in 1883 at the age of 93 in Dresden, back in Canada. So that's a nice portrait of him too, there. That is. He was an escaped slave who became an abolitionist, sorry, became an abolitionist minister and author and he led over 200 slaves via the Underground Railroad to Freedom in Canada, where he founded them in a refugee committee, community and school. And his 1849 autobiography is believed to be an inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stove's renowned Uncle Tom's Cabin. Here's our connection to that fella. Yeah. That's, we need to read his biography then. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, Born to Slavery in Maryland and it was, so it was married to a former slave and then 12 or more children. Oh, but it doesn't show all the children, doesn't show 12 or more, does it on the profile? No, it's their known children, just showed three. Down here they've got a list of known that were one, two, three, four, five, six. I see. They're the ones that are on Wicked Tree are the hotlings there, right? Yeah. He was in the Upper Canada Rebellion. Yeah, isn't that neat? That's wild. Wow, that was in, the area that I live in was greatly affected by that revolt in 1838. I've researched families that fled during that revolt. Really? Fled this area and went west. And yeah, that's crazy. So that was an Irish revolt. Yeah, the Finyans, right? Yeah. So he's got an autobiography that we could read. Yeah, so that's the story. That autobiography is the one that they think was sort of the fuel for Uncle Tom's Cabin. Right. That was based on, and then I think he did a, did he do a follow-up to that biography? And again, it's 1776 is Uncle Tom's story of his life. Yeah, so, and there was another one, they're two stranger than fiction. Yeah, so he's done a few of those, but anyway, he's buried in Canada. Free Mason? Yeah, pretty neat. Wow, we are running late. I am so sorry, that's... Oh, sorry, I thought, I thought because I would have the limited street, but I'd be faster. It's not you, Greg. Okay, so we have 13 for Marianne Shad and one for Josiah. Okay. I see John's got an excellent question there. Was he related, was Josiah Henson related to Jim Henson? I don't know, they look a lot alike. We could use the connection finder, couldn't we? Jim Henson must be... I think Jim Henson has a profile. Yeah. Check it out, John posts for us in a minute. I can't do it, or else I'll lose you. So someone else has to do that research for us. Anyways, thanks for putting up with me and managing the screens. Ooh, that was interesting. Yeah. They were interesting, they were really interesting and really well done profiles this week. And you know what? This is a topic we don't talk about a lot and I think we, it's well-deserved, so. Yes, yes. That's a go, yay, all right. How about a tip? So, take wooden nickels. Let's see. I am going to move on. So the tip is how to add background wallpaper to a profile. And I'm gonna lead into this by saying that this really is a personal preference sort of thing. You may love it, you may hate it. And so, if you're a very streamlined, simple look to your profiles, then go get a cup of coffee right now. And I recognize who this was before I even saw the name. Right, well, this one is one of my favorites of profiles with wallpaper. Of course, Charles Monroe Schultz was the creator of the Peanuts cartoon. And what we have here as the wallpaper is Charlie Brown shirt. So, yeah. So, I wanted to direct you to a couple of places on Wiki Tree where you can find background image material. I mean, now one very easy place is a profile for the person themselves. So, for instance, my grandfather in Taiwan did Chinese calligraphy. And so, I took one of his scrolls, photographed it, and then I used that as the background for his profile. Nice. Yeah, that's one way to do it. But there is also a category for background images that I'm showing you here, just put it in the chat. So, so many places to explore here. Some of them have a few, some of them have many. And some of them are just what that individual has put together and others have a theme to them. Let's see, here's a, let's see. If another option, if you are, have a Scottish connection, this is a really good page. It has how many? A lot. It has 242 Spanish tartans. Wow. You'd have to find those in the images tab, right? Yeah. So, yeah, there's that. So, if I go to the first one, there we are. And it's very easy to add it as a background image. You don't have to put the image of the tartan on as an image on your ancestor or whoever you're profiling. Just see here, to make this the background image for any profile, click on the profile's edit page and enter this under background image. So, we're gonna do this with an example. So, it really couldn't be easier. So, I'm going to, and before I do an example for you though, I'm just gonna put one more for you in the chat. This is Joelle, Joelle Coville Hansen's background page and she's really got a beautiful collection. This is not an exhaustive set of backgrounds, but it's a good starting place. So, now here what we're gonna do is we're gonna go to this. This is simple backgrounds, Debbie Black's free space page. And what I'd like to do is I'd like to use this lace six. So, I did, I looked at it, it's very tiny to see here, but so, how did I do this before? How did I do this before? Nope. I thought that was the one I wanted. We'll do a different one. What I'm looking for is... Yeah, the image page. Set as background. Do you know what? You can't do it. Go back up. Go back up. Here it is. Just set, I just didn't go down far enough. Okay. As it's set to green, so you can't change anything on that page, but you're right. Yeah. So, here it is. If you're not seeing it, keep going. Okay, so I'm going to grab this text, copy it. And now I'm going to go over to Adagene Livingston. I'm going to go to the Edit tab. And down here, I'm going to copy that. Now, this is a bio-improvement. And there we go. A nice, pretty lace background for her. Look at that. And you know what? You know what? You're getting confused about where you were is so good because we're all getting confused and you cleared it up for us. But no, no, we all get confused when we try and do this stuff too. True. So, you're human. Yeah, yeah. Oh, absolutely, you know, I mean, I have a lot of walking into walls moments when I'm trying to do things. And then, but you know, it's fun to do it in front of people too. That's right. That is, that is. That's great. Do we have any pictures this week? We do. We have a few pictures. Let me go first to the free space page. So here we have, I'm unfortunate, I can't tell you the story behind this, but oh, Alice Thompson. I don't know if Alice, I don't know if I saw her in the chat. She often comes, but the Skyler, Todd, Hallowell and Grace Hallowell home. So very, very, looks like a. What was our theme there, Betsy? Homes. Homes. Homes. Yes. Homes. Yeah. So thank you, Alice. And we're going to look at that one. And with, oh, now this one is perfect for a winter day. Oh, there you go. Yeah. It makes me feel just a little bit colder. Thank you. You're welcome. No, I just want to be on that porch in the sun with a book and a glass of lemonade. Or a cup of coffee on a hot shore. Sure. That works too. The kids play with snowballs. Yep. I love, you can sort of date the photo based on how people are dressed. I mean, it looks like maybe 1920s, something like that. Yeah. It's a Victorian house. Christine Miller. Okay. The Maytag house. And I don't know where it is. It's, does it say where it is? No. New Sharon, Iowa. Okay. Nice. Yeah. Thank you, Christine. And that one. Okay. Now, now I will go to the G2G post. So we have, I'll go backwards. The house in New Westminster where my dad grew up until he left to join the army at 18. While he was in the army, his family moved. So when he came home, he couldn't go back up to his old room. Brenda Millage, thanks Brenda. It's a very pretty house. It is. Upvoted. Please do go and upvote. Now, this one, this is given, this is from Victor who's in the chat with us. This is my grandmother, Mary Ann Moore Lowry holding Uncle Ronald Lowry. Her sister Mabel Moore is standing by them. He was born in June, 1937. So this photo was probably taken sometime in July or August of that year. This photo is in front of the Lowry family home, which I remember well. My mom and I lived there one summer with her father during a separation from my father. After grandpa Lowry died, the house was abandoned and became a bit of a hangout for high schoolers eventually burning down. Nice. And he provides a Google Maps link. That's interesting that even though the house is no longer there, that it's, you can still, well, I guess because it's at the end of a lane in Goreville, Illinois, you can still see its location. Very interesting. So is that a dog on the porch? Be legs. Oh, no. It looks like there might be the shape of a dog. You mean this? Yeah, standing behind his grandmother, yeah. Maybe. Looks like a puppy. Those legs are awfully straight. I thought it was like a chair. But you see the shape of the body though above. Yeah, yeah. Is that a body above or is that laundry? Is the laundry shape that way? Yeah. Yeah, sorry. I'm looking for things in the background, like all the things. There are no windows. We can't look for ghosts. So no ghosts. All right. And then we have one more photo. Let's see, that is this one from Vicki. I don't think Vicki's with us this morning. Vicki Blanco? Yes, Vicki Blanco. I don't think I saw her. And well, let's see. This is the house where my great-grandfather, Willie Borchers, was born in its home, in its home, Germany. His family lived there until 1940. They were master bakers. The bakery was on the first floor and the door to the left was the door to the left. That must be this one. You don't see this, but Vicki's jumping up and down and yelling, I am, I am, I am. Hi, Vicki. I'm glad you're here. The baker was on the first floor and the door to the left was the entrance to the second floor where the family lived. I'm sure I'm butchering this. Itso is the district capital of Steinberg, has approximately 31,000 inhabitants, as located in the southwest of the state of Schleswig-Holstein. It looks like it's been very well kept up. Modern windows, yeah. Yeah. Nice. Nice. What is it now? I don't know. Vicki, tell us what it is now. She's blank. I like that answer. Blank. All right. And one ancestor to celebrate. All right. We're coming up on a new month here. So that means a new photo theme. I didn't look up what it was. I can't remember what March's photo theme is, but it'll all be in the G2G post. A new celebrate, your ancestors with a connection to March post and so on and so forth. So this is brought to us by Victor. So this is Victor's husband's, let me say, great-grandmother, Clara Rockow Harrison. Nice. And her connection to February is not only was she born in February, she was born on February 29th, which makes her a leap year baby. For sure. That is very, very cool. And she looks like spent her whole life in Ohio and was married to a Ohio senator, state senator. So nice profile. And she just had one son, so that must be the pathway down to Victor's husband. So thank you for sharing with us, Victor. Nice. My granddaddy's birthday was yesterday. We've got a question for you real quick. We're gonna go on, we don't care about the time. Chris Wine has a question for you. How do you tell what side you're related to if both sides are connected? You're related to both sides. Well, the interesting thing is sometimes you're a cousin with your father connection. I found that it's sort of funny and it's counterintuitive. I just sort of go through, I start with looking at the connections at the bottom of my profile, and then I click on each profile I'm interested in. And if I'm a cousin, it will tell me up at the top if you have the browser extension. And then for the connections, it may not be a blood relative. It's just a connection. It's how you connect. And so you can pull up also by clicking on the connections and see those green and yellow boxes to see how they come down to you. So if those green and yellow boxes come down and then the last person before you is your parent on your father's side or mother's side, then you know which parent it is. There you go. Got another point here from one of our questions we asked our viewers. And we got AM, 8 p.m. 17 says Josiah Henson is 28 degrees from Jim Henson, seven branches. That's crazy. That's fun. That's fun. So we got some things coming up on the calendar. Got some interesting announcements as well around the Black Heritage Project. Wikitree announces the largest free database of African-American families. And we were talking all through this about how important it is to hear about those of us, my family, we're slave holders. It's important for us to allow that information to be public and available. And so Wikitree here we've done this is it surely isn't all encompassing, but as anyone says, it's the largest database of African-American families. Also we've got the what is happening around Wikitree coming up. We're almost to the very end of the month and you see that very last team. Root's Tech Livecast that will be next Saturday at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, which will be 12 p.m. Mountain Standard Time while we're out West. Certainly Betsy Coe will be there. I will be trying to get there. I have other obligations on Saturday. So I'm gonna try my best to get there. And Greg, are you gonna be home? Are you gonna be still on the monitor? No, I'll still be on the cruise. I bought a Wi-Fi package, but I have no idea how. That's funny. Also Greg. I may not, I'll try. You've got some good dinner recommendations too. Yes. Did you see those? Not yet, I'm gonna do that after this. So new member Q&A coming up on the 25th with Betsy Coe. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Those are the only two things left in the month and that's it. All right. Nothing else. There's also other things going on. The 12 months of photos. This is the homes. We don't know what it's gonna be next. So we'll let you know. BioBuilder's Challenges, the Canadian Project Notables. There has been a lot of work going on in that great project as well. The usual Black Heritage Project Notables connectors dash of Wookie Tree Love Project Makeover Challenge. Is that finished, Greg? The dash of love? We probably, I mean, it's month by month, right? Okay, great, yeah. Jetcom Weevils. So there's stuff going on. I'm gonna pop over here real quick to Azure's list. Azure, thank you for popping in and popping up some links for us. Always love to have Azure backing us up big time. So this week, the Cemetery Spotlight is St. Paul's Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery. If you wanna check that out, if you wanna get to this particular page, go to the Ambassador's Project, to the Project page, scroll down. There's a subbar there with the social media on it. You can share these links, get the information out. The question of week for next week, we don't know what it is yet, but you can share those links. Leon is the One Name Tuesday name. The Connection Combat, of course, is ongoing. You can share links for your social media about this. The one place study is Zane's Trace Northwest Territory. So Northwest Territory is do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I'm assuming it's Canadian. Yeah, I've never heard of it. We're the Northwest Territory's plural. I gotta look. I think it's Australia. It is United States. What? What? You're both wrong. That's in Ohio. That's crazy cool. All right, so we both got that wrong. That is not Canadian, just saying. No. Canada claimed it at one time, but not, no. One Place Study. So the Ambassador's Project, that's the project showcase for all these social media things. Get in there and share these social medias. And then of course, the Roundup, which will be live cast live from the Wiki Tree booth at Roots Tech. So that is, yes. All three days, Thursday, Friday, Saturday at our normal time. So 10, 10 Eastern. You're gonna be, we're doing live cast all three days? Oh. We did last year. Did we? Oh, I think you had to draw me in from talking to people. Well, partly. Yeah. And then you started one without me and then grabbed me from the... Yeah, I grabbed you. It's so hard when you're at Roots Tech because there's so many people. There's like 30,000 people in the expo hall. So it's really hard to concentrate. So get yourself a minder, Betsy Co. Tell somebody to remind you every day because it's very hard to get distracted. So we love seeing you and this is the Wiki Tree live cast for this week. And we look forward to seeing you next week. We will be live from not the Bahamas like Greg. You have to show us your sunburn next week. Okay. See ya. Bye. Have a great week. Bye.
