 Good morning everyone. It is Gregor night today. My ex had a last minute webinar thing. She didn't realize it was at the same time. She's presenting. She's a busy lady so we're very lucky that she's able to make time for us every Saturday morning. So let's see who all is here. We have Brian. First one in. Kathy, Hillary, my mom, June, and I think we said Betsy already. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, Betsy said hi to us both. Yeah. Hello, June. And there's Brian from how we got here. Anybody else popping in? Did you say Janine already? Yes, I did. Over our usuals. Oh, look, there's Chris. Yes. Hey, hey. All the regulars. We appreciate you coming to see us every morning. Hang out. Lately, they're probably coming to see us. Who's going to be missing this week? Who will it be? Yes, because I was going to change it up. Different dynamic every week. That's right. You just never know. Oh, I didn't have anything new for anybody before we got to kind of let some more people come in. Hello, Susie. Anything new with you, Greg? How was your? It was a busy week. It was a busy week. As a church musician, you just never know. I ended up having three funerals to play for this week. And there's another one that's planned in advance. I guess it's a memorial service for a couple of Saturdays from now. So there will be at least one more Saturday in April when I won't be around. Okay. Greg is also a busy man. We're also lucky to have him here with us. I enjoy being here, but I got to say, retirement turned out to be a lot busier than I expected it. Retire and then not so much retired anymore. Not so much. I feel like that happens to a lot of people. Like they want to, yeah. My dad just picked up a lot of hobbies from being retired. Golfing, fishing, school, living, you know, all of the above. So we actually have a good question of the week this week. Yes. It is what is on your genealogical bucket list? That's a hard, difficult word, genealogical bucket. Genealogical, yes. If you didn't answer in the G2G or if you want to share again, you can add it to the comments and we'll bring it up. We have some good ones here. So Barbara wants to find her father's father's name. I don't know if it's last name or just the full name, probably missing, but wants to find the name. I think that's on the bucket list for most people to find one of their ancestors' name because there's a brick wall somewhere, usually. Another one to find out who my second great grandfather was. No name on the baptism record, no social security claim that I can find. All I have are three DNA connections with the same last name. It's not very common name on the island, so I know they have to be from that line. That was from Lynette Dovey. And we have another Lynette Patrick who said to publish one or more family books, to put as much as I can to wiki trees, one-world tree. That's a good one. To find my husband's paternal great-grandmother's parents. To figure out my husband's maternal great-grandmother's other two husbands. And to find out more about my paternal great-great-grandfather's family who were from Chemnitz, Germany, Prussia. Oh, look, Chris! He's not that he's broken through his... Tell me if I say this right, Chris. Gulo? Gullo? No, that's Spanish with the double L. For gual. I want to expand that tree. And also his copula side. And then speaking of copula, I also want to do a second cemetery, run at St. Patrick's Cemetery. And Haverill. Oh, I said it right. I usually butcher it, but I didn't write this. Instead of Haverill, Haverill. He'd be so proud. And Gary is to prove his great-great-great-grandfather's parents and then his great-great-great-great-girlfriend's parents. Great-grand... Wow. Great-grandfather's great-grandfather's parents using DNA. And then Virginia wants to find the maiden name of her maternal third great-grandmother. Confirm who she thinks her paternal three-time great-grandmother is. Let's see. Oh, Wayne says he wants to trace the journey of the Ulroids from Yorkshire, England, Salt Lake City, and or Australia. Oh, Susan. All I want right now is a tiny bit of enthusiasm from my family when I share an interesting fact about our ancestors with them. Yeah, that is funny. All I get is a blank stare and a grunt. Oh, yes. I heard of, if you say so, from a cousin. My immediate family is so small that it doesn't appear to be anyone who's interested in picking up the banner when I pass away. Oh. Like most others, to break a brick wall. A bunch of brick walls. Oh, Diana says photos. She wants to find more photos or back as she can. Well, this was a good one. I saw it from, and she has a photo to Alexis. She says she would like to be able to find my lovelace family in England. They sent me this doll in about 1951. My grandmother took me to the photography studio where they had, where they hand-colored two 8x10 copies. She mailed one back, one copy back to England. Hand-colored guys, hand-colored. It's crazy. My general bucket list is full of places I would still like to visit. One of the places to spend time in the Family History Library. That's, yeah. I went in there once. I was doing Roots Tech. So, it was already kind of a busy time. So, I didn't really get to do much. Let's just look a little bit on the second page. So, Marilyn says her goal is to find her maternal great-grandfather. He was born Louis Morales, but on his marriage certificate, he had picked up the last name Landry. Ooh, a mystery. No records to verify this. His children carry the Landry name. Interesting. Yeah. Those mysteries are the most fun to solve when you actually find out what happened. Let's see. So, Max always shames me to upvote all of these. So, go ahead and upvote them. Yep. That's a good thing. Upvote. Upvote. Sorry for the ones on the first. I'll go back and I'll do it later. So, Elle Goldstein says my grandfather came to the U.S. from Italy and then his wife, my aunt, followed. She was refused at Ellis Island. Wait, that was confusing. My grandfather and then his wife, my aunt. So, his grandfather and his aunt that were married? No, that doesn't make sense. No. Okay, I'm thinking. So, she was refused at Ellis Island and then my grandmother, her sister came to the U.S. Oh, I see. Her husband died and following year, she had a child with my grandfather. Oh, okay. I see. Scandal. Oh, no. Oh, I know. I think, don't we have a answer from Brian Craig? We do. Would you like me to share that with you? Yes. It would make such a fun video. He does such a great job. So, let me just add that. Okay. And I'm going to go full screen. So, I'm going to go full screen. I'm going to go full screen. I'm going to go full screen. So, let me know if you can't hear this. You should be able to. We tested it before and I could hear it. So, I know. It should work perfectly, right? Okay. Possibly go wrong. Hi. I'm Brian Nash from How We Got Here at Genealogy. WikiTree, you asked a question and I'm here to answer. This week's WikiTree question and the week is, What is on your genealogy bucket list? Well, I don't have a mirror list. I actually have a bucket book. And it's full of lots of things. But one of the things is travel. I've, you know, I'm at the point of my life. My kids are grown and I'm just getting ready to be able to enjoy some travel. And I'm wanting to go and visit my ancestors' homes in Ireland and Scotland, see where they came from, be able to experience the culture, to be able to go to Edinburgh, take a walk to High Street where my great-great-grandparents lived in 1891 on the Scottish census. The house is still there. I want to go and be able to visit the Isle of Tyre and call where my camel ancestors came from. I want to be able to go to Glasgow where my Anderson ancestors came from in Scotland. I want to be able to go to Ireland and visit the multitude of counties that my various ancestors came from there, from Dublin to Cork, even County Down. I want to go to an Irish pub. I really want to be able to see the graves and the sites where my ancestors' homes were. Go to the places where someone died in battle. I want to be able to take a transatlantic cruise like my great-grandmother did in 1905 when she came over here as a teenager, 13 years old. I want to go for myself in the sights and the sounds and the tastes of Irish and Scottish culture. Now things are somewhat back to normal. I'm hoping to be able to fulfill some of those travel items in my bucket list. I know I'll probably now get due to transatlantic cruise, not just because it's rare and probably hard to find, because my wife gets extremely emotional and I'm going to be lucky to get her to fly over to the British Isles. And there's other things in my bucket list. Some of them are simple and some of them are more difficult. One of the things is to be able to join my friends from Saturday morning on the WikiTree livecast to be able to sit down and find in person with them. To be able to share a wee glass of Irish whiskey. Maybe I'm trying to guess. I'm sure I could talk magazines and have a discussion with them. And that's one thing off my bucket list that will hopefully happen sooner than later. It's more sooner than later. But you know, for the other things, for the travel, I'm lucky. Even if I never get to go to Scotland or Ireland, I live in Atlantic Canada, where there's so much Scottish and Irish culture that's still really rich. I can go to Cape Brighton where my ancestors landed and be able to experience a lot of that Scottish culture, to immerse myself in daily culture there. While in Cape Brighton, I can experience it. There, I'll just pause it right there. Thank you, Brian. Yeah, that was one. I want some of that Jameson in my mug right now. Oh, do you? Oh, wow. I want some. I don't have any. Well, before we go any further, I'd recommend everyone to re-watch the video. And the end of it is really neat because it then goes on about how Atlantic Canada has a lot of the Scottish and Irish roots and places. So he can investigate the or immerse himself in the culture, even if he doesn't get to visit there in person in the short term. But Sarah, you know what? What? I think we can help Brian cross one thing off his bucket list, or at least kind of virtually cross it off. If he's available, maybe we could invite him to join us next weekend. Brian, would you want to come on next weekend and be our guest? Be our guest. Be our guest. But with each of you to the test. Anyways, if you're interested, Brian, contact us. Mm-hmm. We might be able to make that happen. Have you on. Be fun. That would be fun. I was trying to figure out what his shirt, like, what... Best friends. It looks like a dog. I don't know, a squirrel? I think it's a dog doing like a fist bump. Oh, is it? I couldn't tell. I was having a hard time. You see? Doesn't it look like a dog? Oh, okay. I see. I see now. A little paw and a fist bump, you know? I see now. I think my mind was like, you know, those like optical illusions. Oh, yes, yes. Or two things. I see the schnauzer now. I was thinking like it was some kung fu squirrel. I look like a kung fu squirrel to me at first. That's right. So what's on your genealogical bucket list, Sarah? Probably brick walls and also go to Idly. So to see if I could track down my Italian ancestors. That's a brick wall, big brick wall mine. Wow. So here in Idly. It's very... It's when, from when they came to the U.S. from Ellis Island, they were in the Rome area. But originally, they're also from the north. They have a little town called Gamalero in Solerno. And yeah. That's also, I have to work pinpoint exactly because there's documents that say like three different varied places. So yeah. Very cool. What's yours, Greg? Well, I don't know. Visiting lots of places is certainly one of them. And since I've gotten back into genealogy at big time and research in my birth family, there's a lot of little towns in Quebec there where, you know, families stayed for generations. So I feel like I know them, but I haven't actually visited them. I might have driven through them. Like when our kids were young, we had a secondhand motorhome and we drove to the east coast. Bryna's right. Atlantic Canada is beautiful. And we drove through Quebec. And I remember one time we stopped for lunch on the, right on the St. Lawrence. Like, so we were, the motorhome was sort of parked on the side of the road and you could look down over the cliff and you see the St. Lawrence and there was a poutine stand there. And that was like the best poutine ever. But I mean, the location was perfect for that. So we may have driven through some of the towns that my family had come from, but I just didn't know it at the time. No, I only actually had poutine when I was in Japan because I had Canadian friends in Japan. And she kind of made us the, not real. I mean, it was poutine, but it was like kind of put together a poutine. Right. I feel like I had poutine in Japan. Interesting. Well, should we move on to the profiles of the week? Yes, I believe. What is our theme for the profiles or topic? Well, the main profile of the week is Madeleine Albright and the theme is Secretariat State and Government Ministers, basically. So if we take a look at the main profile, and I should probably make the screen a little bigger there. How's that? A little easier to read? Mm-hmm, yep. Okay. So she was born in 1937, May 15th, 1907, in the Shmikloff Prague in the Czech Republic. And of course, she just died just recently on the 23rd of March in Washington, D.C. She was born Marie-Jana Korbalova. Her parents were Anna Spiglova and Joseph Korbal, who was a Czechoslovakian diplomat. Besides, and she was born as Marie-Jana, but later on, it tells how she went to a French school and eventually adopted the name Madeleine. And so that's what she used for most of her life. This was a very well-written profile, and I got to give kudos to the people who put this together because obviously there was a lot of work and background put to this. And it's interesting for me because now I'm not sure how familiar you are, Sarah, with Madeleine Albright and her career and stuff, probably as an American, you are more familiar than I am. But being your neighbor, I hear all the big names on the news because they obviously make the news, but you don't know a lot of the details. So going through and reading a profile like this and giving some of the background that I had no clue about was very interesting. And I know we have an international audience on WikiTree, so I suspect others are sort of in my boat as well. So, in fact, I didn't even realize that she was, with the last name of Albright, I didn't even know that she was not born in the States. Yeah, I wouldn't know if I don't think I knew that either. Well, and it's very interesting, the profile, because she had quite an interesting, I would say, it must have been a scary upbringing because so she was born in 1937, right? So, and the country had just been independent after the First World War, but things were moving in the wrong direction. And in 1941, actually her parents converted from Judaism to Catholicism, probably to make it safer because of Adolf Hitler. And so, because Czechoslovakia was taken over, I believe, by Hitler. And sadly, three of her grandparents perished in the Holocaust. Isn't that horrible? So, they left Czechoslovakia during the war, and then they came back afterwards. And then, eventually, she was sent to a finishing school, the Preylapinach Institut per Junfi finishing school in Schecter, in Lake Niven, Switzerland. And that's where she learned to speak French, and she changed her name from Marijana to Madeleine. And then after, in 1948, they left Czechoslovakia, and that's when they came to the States, arriving at Ellis Island on Remembrance Day, though I don't know if it was officially called Remembrance Day in 1948 or not, but November 11th. And the father applied for political asylum, and eventually became a lecturer and then a diplomat. And when she was in high school, they moved to Colorado. She became active even in high school, forming a club in the high school, a polyscience club, and then it goes on about her career and stuff. And she did lots and lots of stuff, which many of the Wikitreers will know about, and others will be interested to read about. So, very impressive. But she was, when she was the Secretary of State, she was the highest, she was the first female U.S. Secretary of State, the highest ranking woman in the history of the U.S. government at that point, up to that point in time. So that's pretty impressive. And in fact, the only, to go further, to be president, which would be the highest ranking possible, she would be disqualified because you have a role in the States, right? So that would have disqualified her. So she pretty much got as high as she possibly could get. Yeah, I guess I was just trying to look up the different, you know, which positions require you to be born, or just a citizen, or like how long a citizen, you know? So I was curious, also if they were, I don't know if she had nothing yet, I was in the middle, I was just starting, I was just starting to. That's interesting though, yeah. Anyways, very impressive. And I'm sure she'll be missed. So moving on, let's see, where's, here we are. So we have a number of them. So I will try and not belabor this so that I only give, you know, 10 minutes at the end for photos and stuff, because there's something else we wanted to talk to, I'll talk about two at the end of it. But let's move on to Sir Garfield Barwick. And Sir Garfield Barwick was born 1903 in Stanmore, New South Wales, Australia, and he passed away in 1997 in Sydney, Australia. And so he is popular, he makes the cut here because he was the longest serving chief justice of Australia from 1964 to 1981. And he was, as I was saying, he was born in New South Wales, eldest of three brothers, two Methodist parents. And he admitted to a legal practice after finishing university. There was a bit of a problem with a bank loan that he had loaned to his brother and then wasn't able to pay during the Depression. But later on, he did some important cases and he was created a Knight Bachelor, which is an interesting title, Knight Bachelor, in recognition of service to the public service. I was elected to the House of Representatives and he led the Austrian delegation to the United Nations for a number of sessions. And then talks about his being the chief justice of the High Court of Australia. And then there's some more more details down here as well. So I was just looking more into the Secretary of State. So Secretary of State is forth in line to become president if anything were to happen. So I wonder how that would, like there's the Vice President, the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Temporary of the Senate. So I wonder how that would work if like she was Secretary of State and not being born here if she'd need to, I don't know. I wonder, it's just something I was thinking like, would they let her? She was forth in line or not? I wonder if that, like in a situation like that, would it be, you know, acting, what they call it acting, or she could be president, but she couldn't run for an election maybe? Like I would recently watch designated survivor and if he could go on with it. So that would make me think like, is something worth having? Okay, yeah, let me just get the other tabs all lined up. Okay, so let's go. Julie Bishop also from Australia. And she's the daughter of Douglas now Bishop born, she was born in the 50s. Here it's in the biography. It gives you specifically born in 1956. And she attended Harvard University and the University of Adelaide. After entering politics, she was a delegate in 1998 to the Constitutional Convention, served as an MP. And from there on, she became Minister for Women. And then Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party and Minister for Foreign Affairs. And she's been the Chancellor of the Australian National University since January 2020. The first woman to be in this position. Actually, she was the first woman to be in a couple of those positions. So that's Julie Helen Clark. What are all those things? I think I'm missing something. There's a whole bunch of icons on the top. Oh, okay. I was like, what? Oh, yeah, you know what this is? Okay, so we're diverting. Okay, time out from the profile. What are those icons? I totally forgot I'd done this. So like, am I missing something? Was there an update? No, no, these are extensions to wiki tree. Have you heard of that? Have you heard of what extensions are? Oh, yeah. Does everybody else know what extensions are? Well, I'm wondering, you know, they may not. So an extension is something you add to your browser that basically reformats or adds extra value to your web page. So I'm going to just turn, let's see, I'm going to turn these off. Where do we go to? Manage extensions. There's a bit easier way to do this. There's a different way of doing this, but What extension is that one, though? So this is the extension manager. This is what Chrome uses to. What's the extension that's giving you all of the extra little icons? It is, I believe it's the wiki tree v, which is in becall, I believe, that one. And then the sorcerer is the one. I just used this for the first time this week, and it is a very cool one because if you're on Ancestry or there's a few other sites it uses, but if you're on a site and it's got a source there, like an image, sorcerer will actually format the citation for you and a live link to that document. And with Ancestry, it's smart enough to put a sharing link so that even those who don't have Ancestry accounts can see the image. They can't do much more with it, but they can at least see the source image. And wiki tree x is another one, which you might be familiar with and turbo, but I think it's the b, so now that I've removed it and I go back to... I wonder if you can refresh the page or close your browser all the way. There we go, I'll refresh the page. So there we go, so now we have a basic... With that a whole bunch of... Just like I saw like a little money bag and it looked like it was really like an animal crossing and it looked like a little bell bag. Oh yeah, so let me put it back on again and we'll go to here. And refresh. So one of the things... One of the things he's done is he's made quick links to... So there's the profile overview app, quick link to the relatives app, a quick link to my fan chart. So if I click on this, it will automatically open up Helen Clark's fan chart. Which is very cool. So there she is. And then of course you can do all the different things with fan chart, but I'm not going to talk about that because that would take the rest of the hour. And we do have a live cast that we went over the feed. So I don't need to go through all that over again. But that's one of the things that this extension does, is it gives you quick access to some of those and also... Add style. Add style. So it changes the style. So if you don't like the default style, it can add this little round of rectangles and stuff and then you can... Or if you like that, a little more pastel-y, or it has a dark... So at night, and the bright light is hurting your eyes, you can put it into dark mode. That's cool. It's very cool. It's very cool. Very fashionable. Yeah, there's lots of other things here too, but maybe I will go back to remove that style. And maybe I should, for now, remove the extension just so we are not as distracted. Definitely distracted me. Oh, no, that's... And I totally forgot I had it on. But I highly recommend you investigating so that... So if you... In Chrome, you just search for extensions. There's actually a URL for that, chrome colon slash slash extensions. Or on... Under setting... There's a number of different places you can check for that. And in fact, on the apps page, which... Oh, that must be part of the extension. The apps opened up to... I thought there was a menu that popped out of apps, but that might have been part of the extension. Anyways, on the apps page, there is a list of... Of the extensions. Yes, so you can scroll. There's the apps themselves, which are standalone programs. And then the extensions are below, which are ones that enhance the website when you're on it. Okay, so that's the distinction. The app is a standalone program that works on its own. And the extension takes the actual WikiTree page and adds extra functionality to it. So, there we go. So, Helen Clark... We talked about Helen... Did we talk about Helen? We did not. I don't think... No, but we get distracted by the icons. Okay, so... She has not only been... She's not just Secretary of State, but she was also Deputy Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition, and Prime Minister of New Zealand for... From December, 1999 to November, 2008. So, she's had a notable career in New Zealand. 37th Prime Minister, serving three consecutive terms and the first woman elected to that post. Very impressive. Okay, Thomas Cromwell. Now, we're going way back in time. 1485. Back in the days. Also known as the Earl of Essex. That was one of the titles he got right near the end of his life. And he had quite a varied life. And again, there's been lots of books and plays even written about Thomas Cromwell. He served... He was in the time of Henry VIII. And in fact, he was very involved with Henry VIII in the end. But he was the son of a blacksmith, Walter Cromwell. He was also a fuller and a brewer. So, that would have been interesting. And anyways, he went to... He was part of... Join the French Army and had a very career growing up. And he then became... Let's see, where is it here? I'm going to have... He basically became a lawyer, right? So, then that gave him a lot of skills and also became wealthy and well-known Cardinal Wolsey, who was an important advisor, noticed him and basically introduced him to Henry VIII. And then he did a lot of work with him. But in the end, after all of this and the profile goes into a lot of detail, in the end, he got on the wrong side of someone's favor. And he was basically betrayed and he was put to death, beheaded. So, it's a lot of intrigue back then. So, but he held lots of different offices, principal secretary to the... Principal secretary to the king. So, he did a lot of work for him. So, and it was interesting in the end, Henry VIII was lamenting that under the pretext of some slight offenses, which he had committed, they had brought several accusations against him. And on the strength of that, he had ended up putting to death one of his most faithful servants. His head was placed on a spike. And the day they killed him was the day that Henry married his next wife. Catherine. Yeah. What a... No class. Anyways, lots and lots of stuff there. So, but anyways, we'll move on back to... Let's see. Can you pronounce this one, Greg? Dag, Yalmar, Agna, Carl, Hammerskold. Better than I would have done. So, Hammerskold, Dag Hammerskold is famous for being part of the UN, secretary general of the United Nations. And in fact, in the city where I went to university, I went to the University of Waterloo, there is, there was, there's a building called the Dag Hammerskold Building, which I think was a set of residences, but anyways, he was well known for his work with the United Nations. And apparently, flowed over into Canada and into a little university town. But born in 1905 and in Sweden, right? Yeah. Jönköping, Schmalen, Sweden. Interesting, he died in Northern Rhodesia. But anyways, he was, got a doctorate in economy, or economics, I guess, became state secretary. So there he fits the category of secretary of state and then Swedish delegate, cabinet minister, and then eventually to the secretary general of the United Nations. And he died in Rhodesia because that's where his plane crashed. And that's, he died in a crash in 61, very sad. Cordell Hall. Now, this is an American. Have you heard of Cordell Hall before? I don't think so. The name is ring a bell. No, born in 1871 in Olympus, over to Tennessee and died on the 23rd of July, 1955 in Washington, D.C. So he was a secretary of state, the 47th secretary of state, apparently. And also a senator from Tennessee. Born on a log cabin, and, excuse me, 35 children, attended National Norman University in Lebanon, Ohio, and then that outlines his career from the House of Representatives captain and during the serving in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. I didn't know the Spanish-American war involved Cuba as well. Did you know that? I guess I can see it, but... Not my guess, but... I don't think I would have said that either. Interesting. And then secretary of state, and he won a Nobel Prize for co-initiation in the United Nations. So I bet you he knew our previous guest, Dag Hammersmith. Yes, probably. There he is. And there's a famous picture of him with President Roosevelt. I feel like that's somebody, I feel like somebody I should know, but I don't know. I didn't have very good history lessons in school. Thomas Jefferson was also a secretary of state, but he's more commonly and more famously known as a president. Your third president? Is that right? Second or third? Oh, third! Third! Good job! Second vice president. There we go. There we go. And first United States secretary of state. Second vice president. He just went up. He's got the gold, silver, and bronze in politics. But question is, which way is the gold, silver, and bronze? Oh, well, he started off with bronze, working in the secretary of state. And then he worked up to the silver being the VP, and then he won the gold medal as the third president of the United States. He was also governor of Virginia, so he just kept going up. Oh, I didn't go far enough. Oh, governor of Virginia. Wow, very cool. And so this is an interesting quote from JFK. I want to tell you, so he was welcoming Nobel Prize recipients. So lots of smart people coming to dinner at JFK. And I want to tell you how welcome you are to the White House. I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. Oh, I think that's a diss on all this guess, isn't it? That one man, Thomas Jefferson. He's very high regard of Thomas Jefferson. He's very high regard of Thomas Jefferson, yes. So there we go. And there's a lot of details here, and I feel that as a Canadian, I shouldn't say anything more except that he must need to... Who was your third president and did lots of stuff? Yeah. Oh, I mean, there's a little DNA coming first to there. Let me see how close I am to Thomas Jefferson while you keep going. Okay. I'm curious. Because I am kind of directly related to some of the presidents. Let's see. Are you? Cool. So Julia Verlin-LaMarche is Canadian. Yay! We have our Canadian entry, born on the 23rd of December of 1924 in Chatham, which is not too far away. It's only a few hours drive from where I am, and then died in October 27, 1980 in Toronto, which is even closer to me. So she was the Minister of National Health and Welfare from 63 to 65. So she was a Canadian politician, a lawyer and author and a broadcaster. And she was only the second woman to serve as a federal cabinet minister. So this was back in the early 60s. So up until that point, there was only had only been one woman ever who was ever in the cabinet. So breaking that glass ceiling. She helped push through legislation that created the Canadian Pension Plan and Medicare, which are two important things in Canada. We think they're important anyways. As Secretary of State, she helped establish the World Commission on the Status of Women in Canada and oversaw the White Paper on Broadcasting. It was in charge of the Centennial Celebrations. Yes, 1967, Canada celebrated 100 years. And there were celebrations all over, including the Montreal hosted the World Fair that year. And lots of things happened that year. Sadly, her mother and her grandmother died of cancer. And in the end, she did as well, which was a pancreatic cancer. But she was given an order of Canada while she was still in the hospital. So that's nice. She at least was alive when they awarded that to her. So she knew that she was well-respected. So a great person in Canadian history. Yeah, I'm 17 degrees from Thomas Jefferson. I'm also 17th cousins, eight times removed from him. Oh, very cool. Very cool. Okay, we're almost done. We just have two more left. First, Bernhard Heinrich-Martin Karl von Gullo was born in the 3rd of May, 1849 in Deutsche Bund, which would now be part of Germany. And Maria died on the 20th of October 1929 in Italy, Roma Italia. So there is a German biography, but I'm going to skip because, nice, kindly, they put an English one. I could read the German words. I can pronounce it pretty well, but I don't necessarily understand them unless I go back and read them slowly. So I won't do any of that. But he was a chancellor of the German Empire from 1900 to 1909. So this is before the First World War. And he was known for his aggressive foreign policy that angered France and Russia leading up to the formation of the Triple Entrance. So he sought to make Germany into a leading power on the world stage. Well, that's a noble goal, but maybe some of the... Anyways, but obviously a very important figure in terms of German history and what he's done. He did. So I said that where he was born is now part of Germany, but it was, in fact, it was the Duchy of Holstein. And at that point when he was born, it was actually part of Denmark, which was a member of the German Confederation, which is interesting. I didn't realize that Denmark had been part of that at that point. Anyways, we'll move on to our last one, which is Colin Luther Powell. Powell is one of my surnames. I wonder how closely... No, no, no. Yeah. Interesting. So yes. So he was Secretary... 65th Secretary of State. Also the 12th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and National Security Advisor. And retired four-star general in the United States, Armini, served under President George W. Bush. First African American appointed to that position. And the first and so far, only African Americans serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. So he had a very impressive career and it's a well-written profile, which documents that. So very nice. And you also had a notable achievement for this week with a Supreme Court appointee. Didn't you have a... You're the first black woman appointed to the... I wouldn't be able to tell you, I'm not usually in the know. In the know? Okay. Well, maybe someone in the chat can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I heard that on the news the other day before. So, anyways, again, I've taken too much time, even though I tried to go on, but we did a couple little... Yeah, we had some different segments, so... Yeah, different segments. Anyways, are there any pictures? Any photos of the week, Sarah? Yes, we do. Okay, well, let me stop sharing. Well, let's go. And I was looking at Colin Powell. I'm actually 29 degrees from him. Through my mom's side. Oh, really? He never happened through my mom's side, so that's how it's fun. Excellent. Where'd you go through my mom's side? Where'd he go? Where'd he connect it? Oh, Chris says I was right. Yay! Yeah, I'm just not... I don't know. Current events. I'm just oblivious to them sometimes. Okay, photos of the week. The theme is birthday. Does anybody have a birthday? Around this time? Then any family? The theme is birthday. Let's see. All the good photos. You know who's not here, but Meg's. Oh, yes! How did I even forget? Yesterday! Yesterday was Meg's birthday, and it snowed in Ottawa for her birthday, and she was actually happy about that, so that's good. In honor of Meg's birthday, we'll show birthday photos. Happy birthday, Megs. I also went to a birthday party last week, too. Again, no wonder we get the diverted. What is going on? Hold on, I keep clicking all the wrong thing. Okay, there we go. I like this one. This one's a cute photo. Nice. Hit him in a little stool and a little table with a birthday cake. Five years old. That's very sweet. I know a few guys also do it, but my mom would, when we ever had a birthday on the cake, there was always however many we were turning and then one to grow on. So I was turning five of these six candles on the cake. I don't know if anybody else did that, but that's how my mom, my family, did it. Five and one to grow on. So there'd be six candles. Isn't that neat? Now, I don't know. I suspect no one does this anymore, but when I was little and had birthday parties with my cousins, my mom would always wrap up little dimes or nickels in saran wrap and then stick them inside the cake. So when she cut the cake, everyone probably got some type of little something in the thing. That's fun. It's fun, but it's totally dangerous. You're thinking about it now and thinking that's not a good idea. Everyone knew to look for it, but still. Yeah, I've seen those cakes now where they have like the center thing and when you like it pops up with like a gift, like there's these surprise little inserts. Mm-hmm. That's probably. So these ones are 91st birthday. Probably way too many candles to put on a cake. So they just fill one candle. I think this is a card, I am assuming. Birthday card. Sherry Petit Cousine, my dear little cousin. It's happy birthday. Cute little card. Oh, look. Who's going to get to look the candles? Wayne's 16th birthday party. So it's his 16th birthday party, but it looks like he's about to blow out all the candles. Yes. That's fun. Oh, look at the balloons. So very oddly. But this is Betsy's photo. So we got some elongated balloons and. That's amazing. That's a fun photo. That's neat. So the long balloons always remind me of the, when they make the animals, balloon animals. Dr. Walter Johnson's 60th birthday party. They're all dressed up. Oh, very fancy. In 1918 was when this was that photo. Alice on her 80th birthday. Cut in her cake. So she can have her cake and eat it too. That's nice. Good one. Good one. Good one. Oh, you're all weak. Florence McLean's first birthday. Oh, because it took her to do a photo shoot for her first birthday. Oh, she looks so happy. What? So Chasta Jade's pin guards birthday. What kind of thing is going on in this cake? It looks like gnomes or elves. They have little hats. Is it snow white in the seven wars? Oh my goodness. Made almost. It was good. It's a good guess, but that's what I'm going with. Yeah. Janine. Oh, Janine. What, what is the, what is the thing? This is Janine's photo. She's in the chat. Oh, I'm going with snow white in the seven doors. Oh, the only nine images this week. Oh, no. Oh, no. We can go to the G2G and see if there are any. Okay. Any more. Okay. Let's see. We saw this one. Ninety-first birthday. We saw this card. Oh, you see this one? So it says this is a photo of my grandmother, Samira on her 66th birthday. They had ice cream because they went around a restaurant so that she got like a little ice cream bowl. Oh, we didn't see this one either. No. When she was growing up, my mother celebrated her birthday with her grandmother, Melanie, who was also born on May 21st. So they're both born on the same day. Years later, Melanie's family made sure to announce her birthday in the newspaper every year on May 21st. Surprise on her birth record. Her real birthday is May 1st. Oh, no. Oh, no. What if the Queen of England doesn't celebrate her birthday on an actual date she was born? I think my great-grandmother can do the same. That's funny. Oh, there's nothing. I guess there's another one of that sequence. It looks like a fun birthday party. Oh, 30th birthday party in 2003. Wow. Looks like a fun night. And we saw this one, 80th birthday. And we saw this one, too. The balloons in the tree. And it says that Betsy says that she thinks her mother was quite happy that she was a summer baby. It meant that all my birthday parties could be in the backyard. No screaming children on sugar high running through her house. Yes. Mm-hmm. There is something about that. So this one, let's see. Oh, so what did Jeanine say in that? Was that, that's Jeanine? I don't know. Anything? Well- There's no comments here, but- No, up above? Isn't there above or no? No. Oh, no. No, you're right. Jeanine, if you're still in the chat, tell me. Oh, she did say, she said, that was my, here, let me click on this there. Show. That was my youngest, but I do not remember what was on that cake. She was into Disney, Care Bears, Hug a Bunch, Rainbow Bright, et cetera. It was taken about 1986, 87. If she wasn't to Disney, like looking at the girl that's there and all little, little guys with hats on, I would think they would be little gnomes or dwarfs. Thanks for answering, Jeanine. It only took me how long to figure it to notice, sorry. This is a no one we didn't see. This is my great-grandfather's birthday cake. The bottom of the cake says happy birthday, dad. And the top was his favorite pastime on it, sitting in his recliner, drinking a beer and watching TV. That's funny. Okay. And that was it for the photos too. Cool. Some good photos. Good photos, yeah. Birthdays are always fun. They are, yeah, they are. Oh, John's brother's birthday was March 28th. Yeah. That's good. So I'm going to share my screen again because there was a couple of things in the newsletter this week. Let's see. Oh, that's supposed to make, oh, that's what I wanted to do. Okay. That's not, now I've lost it. Now I've lost it. Ah. Uh-oh, I've lost. There we go. Okay. So I will just refer to some of the things. I don't know what happened there. I had this, the email and then all of a sudden I clicked the wrong thing and it disappeared. Anyways, so on the weekly news update, there was a mention of a number of different projects. And so I got an email or a message from Aowyn earlier this week asking us if we had, we wanted to talk about some projects and one project she wanted to talk about at some point was the Disney Project, which I'd never even heard of before. So that made me look into projects in general and that tab I do have open. So I can reshare that, I think, over here. So I think one thing we might add to our Saturday live cast is talking about projects. And maybe pick a special project each week. So if you're not familiar with Wikitree projects, it's just another way of working together and collaborating on Wikitree. So after you've sort of exhausted your own family research or you need to take a break from your own family research and creating profiles, if you want to join teams of other Wikitreers, a project is an excellent way to do that. So this year, the current project, the Profile of the Week, the Wikitree Challenge is a fun one and I believe the current one that they're signing up for is for CJ Cherry, who's a science fiction writer. So if you check the email that you would have got on Wednesday, it's Wednesday mornings, right? The email of the week comes, you can check that out or just go to GDG and sign up there. But there are other projects. Some are based around geography. So there's projects based on different countries. So you can start with the continent and then dig down deep into, so here's the list of the North American projects. And if I clicked on Canadian projects, then there's actually sub-projects within that. So there's Ontario projects, Quebecois projects and whatnot. And specialized ones, even Fiduwa, is a special group of women who came to Quebec and their descendants. And so, well, not their descendants, the women who came to Quebec. And so there's a project specifically about creating profiles for them. But there are also topical projects. So one-name studies about different names or the Photo of the Week project, I guess, but Jewish roots, First Peoples, lots of other different ones. So we're going to be talking about some of these and trying to highlight projects that you are ones that you may not have thought of before, as well. And so I just thought I'd point that out. And anything else you'd like to say but that, Sarah? What project have you been involved with? I was in the Arborist Project and then Mentors and Mediators at one point. And I think it was more in the Functional Projects, more so than like Profile Improvement and all that. Then I also have one-name studies, so in the One-name Studies Project. I don't think I've ever really got into any of the geographical ones. But functional and topical, more so. Yeah, cool. Yeah, yeah. And as you were talking about the projects, they were commenting on my cat that was on my shoulders earlier. Oh, I didn't see your cat there. Who's there for a good portion of when you're talking about the profiles? I'm looking at my second monitor over here. You were focused. I was focused. And then when I went to, when I did my key combo to make things bigger, not only did I lose my e-mail, but on the stream deck, like where I'm seeing you, went to like an itty-bitty little thumbnail. So it was just like one little black square. So, you know, I was yukered in all directions. And Janine just said she verified her second cousin's grandfather from the 1950 census. Nice. Yeah, we talked about the 1950 census a little bit last week. Yes. And you were finding people in there, right? Yeah, we were. Yeah, I was looking for, oh my, ancestors briefly. Still need to go on a better search. So I've done that, but it's on the list. On my bucket list. On your bucket list. On your logical bucket list. Well, unless anybody has any questions, we'll probably see you all next week. And don't forget to sign up for the Connectathon. That's the end of the month. Yes. Or I don't think it's not the end. I think it's the week right before the end of the month. Yeah. So sign up while you can. So we can connect. Connect. And until then, we will see you next Saturday. All three of us should be here next Saturday. I'll leave so. I hope so. Maybe with a smile. Yes. Until then, guys. Goodbye. Bye.
