 Good morning. It's been a couple, well, there were live casts, but, you know, it's been at least a couple weeks for me since I've been on. I don't think Max was on a conference last week. So I did, I did. I had a conference last week. I had, I had the East Coast Genetic Genealogy Conference, and I flew to Baltimore to be a part of the virtual control room, because mydowidna.org was one of the organizers. It was interesting. It was interesting flying. It was my first time flying. It was my first time flying in two years. It was my first time being around people unmasked, but we had all tested. So we all knew we were negative and we were all vaccinated. It was very interesting. It was interesting. And it was fun. It was a lot of fun. And this, the conference was a huge success. And Wikitree got lots of shout outs from some of the big people like Roberto Estes and, well, me, if you count me as a big person. And there are a lot of people who are talking about Wikitree at the conference too. So hopefully that was a good thing. So yeah, how was your week? How was your two weeks? Busy, busy, busy at work. Busy at work. Busy, busy. We were both talking about how tired we are, because I'm tired still from training. And we've been yawning. And so my pre-show dance, when the music is playing before we start the show, I'm always dancing to try and get myself hyped up. And I was going... So, so Max and I might be yawning throughout the live fast. We're going to try not to do that. If we fall asleep, just wake us up. Yeah, I might just pass out. I noticed your mama's here. Yeah, she is. Let's see who else is here. So my mom. And then we also have John. Hi, John. He said that, oh, he's out in Dublin shopping. So he's probably not going to be here. He got in way earlier. We have Brian, Chris. Let's see who else. I saw Janine, Hillary, Tommy, Susie, Bev. I don't think I've seen Bev around before. Bev Diaz. Hello. Welcome. Thank you for joining us. June. And, oh, look, Pip. He says he's still recovering from the thawing. Pip, Pip, you might want to come in. You might want to come in. I got news. Pip was the member of the week last week. Was he? I was the last to get a chance to see that. Why? Did they show a picture of him and his killed? I need to go look at that. If they didn't, I'd be disappointed. Really? They should. I don't, well, the little icon is just his face, but I don't know if they have another one of him and his killed. Oh, cool. You joined last week like you joined wiki tree last week, Bev? Or maybe she just joined the lives last week. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Well, you know what? I have an interesting question of the week. What is the question of the week this week, man? The question of the week this week? Well, it's what's a funny anecdote you found in your family research. And there's, there's an overall theme of the funny stuff. And I'm going to talk about that in just a minute, but we can go down and look at some of these answers. The best answer voted up by Sharon G, Gia Varini. Chris Fariello can tell me if I pronounced it that correctly. Oh, and Greg's not here today. Greg's, Greg's funeralized. So we'll see him next time. He's doing his music, music. He's playing a dirge. This one is from anonymous read. I had a great grandfather who repeatedly startled motorists as an older man. He would lie down by the side of the road to rest when he got tired walking. Of course that's yeah, you just lie down. My paternal grandfather, weird of grandma's insistent request for an indoor toilet. Do the chill of the outhouse during the cold winter months. So he just instead of giving her an indoor toilet, he covered the seat with softened squirrel pelts. Interesting. Okay. Um, let's see everything on my grandfather's profile. And then a story he told me about his grandfather, Henry Reader. Henry went on vacation likely in the 1930s, not specified with his daughter and her family to Mexico. His son-in-law Claude Craig Crawford was driving as they returned across the border into the United States. And the border guard looked into the crowded automobile and went through the customary somewhat uninterested inquiry as to whether they were citizens. Everyone around the car answered in the affirmative until he got to Henry in the last seat in the back. And Henry said, I'm a proud servant of the Crown of England. Oh, they spent the next few hours in a detention center sorting out the issues Henry immigrated to Ontario when he was three years of age. And then to Cincinnati in his 20s. So he had been in the States for decades. Claude was less than pleased with his father-in-law. That's a funny one. Um, let me see. Yeah, and I crossed the border last time I had empty my suitcase this past weekend I had to empty my suitcase twice. And then the drug dog came and put its head on my lap at one point and I'm like, I'm wearing my grandma's jeans t-shirt. I probably was a little sweaty from having to unload my suitcase twice. So I don't know. I look like a grandma smuggler. I'm not sure. But they were checking me out at the border. So the border, the border story made me feel good. Oh, let's see. Several story about my dad's life in 1953. He was a medical officer and RAF base and my parents had very little money and there was no chance of owning a car. So at eight months pregnant, my mom was riding a pillion on my dad's motorcycle. I'm not quite sure what a pillion is, but I think that the guys can tell me or the girls can tell me who do ride. Um, the commander's wife thought this quite inappropriate and suggested my dad get a sidecar and I have this mental image of my very pregnant mom trying to climb in and out of a sidecar on motorcycle. That's, that's funny. Um, let's see. This one's interesting. I was tickled to learn tickled tickled. This is a funny anecdote tickled to learn of a Quaker ancestor in Massachusetts in 1666. He was being taken to court and find for stealing a Bible from the meeting house for stealing the Bible. He was fined one pound and for telling a lie about the same 10 shillings. That's, uh, don't know why that that made her laugh. Kate says, but yeah, I'm like just, you know, it may have been 1666, but surely they had a hotel six that could have gone and grabbed one out of one of the bedside table drawers. Sarah, are you even listening to me? I am listening, but I have my head. Oh, let me see. Okay, this is kind of funny. My great grandmother, Jesse May Longan, would tell stories about her grandfather, the rumor that he ran with the Jesse James gang. There's no, no confirmation on that. But her great grandmother, Jesse would tell us that when she was young, she and her siblings would go and visit her grandparents and that she remembers them jumping up and down in their grandparents feather bed until it exploded. And the feathers would go everywhere and that her grandmother would just laugh, just laugh and laugh at the kids doing this. I have a one. I don't know if you've ever tried to clean up feathers. They're not easy. It's like chasing ghosts. They just fly everywhere. Okay, so the whole crux of the story is that supposedly the this John Bowles Longan, who was supposedly with the James gang actually did rob a couple of banks. And so the family had lots and lots of money and instead of washing clothes, they just went out and bought new clothes and oh, go ahead, make the feather bed explode. It doesn't matter because we can just buy a new one. So that was the funny anecdote that maybe they really were people who had robbed banks. Let's see from David McNichol. And that was Eric Weddington from David McNichol. This is a fun one. But there was a very, very, very cold time and there was a baby do and they had to go 25 or go into town, which was 25 miles away. And they were going to bundle up and go on a sled. They ended up having to wait a week. It seems like the baby was very, very, very good about not being arriving. So they had to wait a week and there's a picture of the sled that they took in and all the snow to go and have this baby in a town where there would be a bunch of people. There are 3000 people in the town and they live 25 miles out of town. So that looks like a very cold. If I was a baby, I would not want to be born in that cold. No, I would wait till I got to a nice comfy hotel room. Well, well, at least if the photos of the week don't have any animals, we've seen a photo with an animal today. There's a horse and there's two horses and a dog. What kind of dog is that? Husky? No. It looks like a collie of some kind. But is this another dog right here? What is this? A cat? Is that a cat? That does look like a little cat tail. Yeah. There's a cat in the snow. Walking with that is craziness. And I like how you can see the shadow of the person taking the photo too. That is too. See, we should just do everything as a photo of the week. Yes. All right. So that's Leon McNichols. And they've got lots of photographs on there on that profile. And that's the house supposedly. Isn't that cool? So lots of good photos on that profile. If you want to go check it out. It's not McNichol 383. It was McNichol 388. So he has the wrong number of it. Just took me a bit to find it. Let's go back. Let's see. Counterfeiting. There's a counterfeiting story, but they can't find any information about it. But it's obvious that it happened. Now, this is the best one. And this is kind of the crux of the story of the whole thing for today is that the best anecdotes that people seem to be acknowledging are the ones where a family member played a trick on their future family historians, their future us. They played tricks on us, the people from the past. So here's one. Still waiting to find out our family secret. This is from Kim Myers. Still waiting to find out our family secret. My mother would respond whenever we asked about the family not family. She would say, don't go looking. Well, as a teenager, I found her divorce papers from her first marriage. She never talked about. We also found she was born a year earlier that she stated she let us to believe that she had my dad were born only a month apart. She graduated a year after my father and she had missed a year of school due to rheumatic fever. My father was terminally ill with cancer and he told my sister there was something he needed to tell her. He passed away before revealing the secret. My mother was terminally ill for years later and her best friend told my sister there was something she wanted to tell her. She died without ever revealing her secret. So these two people told their family, I've got this big secret to tell you. But I'm not going to tell you before I die. Figure it out on your own. You took the secret to the grave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You family historians, you'll never find out. They did. Kim is saying, well, maybe she was pregnant and she really went away somewhere instead of having rheumatic fever to have a baby. I kind of have a story like that in our family where somebody might have had a baby and there's pictures of her pregnant. When was she pregnant? Was it when she was pregnant with her first child? So that's kind of the funny stuff about today's stories. Go back and read through them. They're not a lot. And amazingly, I noticed that Brian, how did we get here? Genealogy didn't post an answer for the question of the week this week. Brian. So yeah, go check them out. There's also one post in the Facebook. See, I'm not quite with us this morning. Five children, four girls, one boy. One day my great grandpa was talking to some friends about trying to raise four girls. And one of them said, John, the devil must have owed you a debt and he paid you back and daughters. There you go. That's, yeah, that's a good one. The funny story for my grandmother, when we would be going to the lake from Lawrence, we'd be going to Lake Greenwood for our annual Templeton family reunion. And we would go under this like industrial plant area that had a pipe that went across the road. And every time we drove under that pipe, she told us a story of how my father used to tell his little brother, John, that he had to duck or the pipe would hit him in the head. And Johnny would always dive into the floorboard of the car. We always found that very interesting and very funny every time we drove under that pipe. So there you go. That's the question of the week. That's the question of the week. Funny anecdote. Oh, I want to mention something. We have a really great post in G to G. Now look at these views, 7,000 views. And what is it, Pip Shepherd? It is, do you have Scottish ancestors or an interest in Scotland? Come join us in the Scotland project. This post has had the biggest response and the fastest response of any post according to wiki trainer and chief Chris Whitton, and he's ecstatic over this. So if you're interested in the Scotland project, they think that maybe this is the reason why you will begin your journey down our new tartan trail. You can learn more about it. You can click that link where you'll not only improve and or learn new skills researching your Scottish ancestors, but we'll also meet new people and learn to work within an active collaborative wiki tree community. Once you completed the tartan trail, you'll be invited to join other teams within the project that interest you. So I don't know is getting a guided tour to how to use wiki tree worthy of 7,000 views. That's that's the question. That's pretty cool. Way to go, Pip. Yeah, is Pip one of the leaders of that? Sheenate. Now I have to say Sheenate is one of my Templeton's. I don't know if she's one of my Templeton's, but she works on Templeton profiles like crazy. And she and I have been working on the Templeton DNA and the Templeton name study project forever. She does a lot of the Scots, Templeton's, I do all the Irish Templeton's that's been working really well. Hazata Sheenate and the people in the Scottish project for that. Betsy says maybe because there's so many people are getting. Yeah, no, yeah, mine Betsy mine is all mine is so crazy. It says I'm 69% Scottish and I have zero Scottish connections that I can find. And the Irish connections that I've been able to find that would be Scottish connections in Northern Ireland they end up being Irish DNA. So, I'm not sure I don't have that kind of Scottish percentage I have Irish way up there and all my other DNA tests. I think that something's going on with Ancestry's algorithms. Maybe just people are putting that they're Scottish when they're not and that's what's. Yeah, yeah. Who knows who knows. Mystery of the percentage of Ancestry. So, stop sharing there you go. Oh, earlier they were trying to get. I guess put up Chris's blogs website but I knew it's something would have real I couldn't find it. Oh, I didn't know it off the top of my head, but I don't know Chris just put the link in the comment and we can show it if you want. That may be true but my Irish DNA that's in Northeast Scotland always comes back as Irish it's not Scottish DNA. It's even my Templeton's who should be Scottish or Irish. Even the Scottish clan that was chartered for them back in 1948 is kind of silly. Well, I'm sure yours do. Sure yours do. I can just type the name of the blog in the chat is type it Chris type it just put it's I don't know it's like something something blog. Yes, I tried googling like have role blog, Chris, like, did you know yours when you typed fedriolo. Did I when I typed it did I roll the R when I typed it. I don't think so. Okay, so it's a fun profiles this week. They're all about plants all roads lead to have role so if you Google that you should find the blog. Hopefully, so let me share my screen now. So yes, the profiles of the week are plants, plants experts, and our leading profile is Martha Stewart, which I don't think I would have like associated her with being a plan expert. She's a lot of she's an expert, she's an expert in a lot of things but I say like baking or crafts or something plant expert I don't know. I don't know if I would have thought of that. Doesn't she have a huge farm in Connecticut. Probably. The first thing that I would associate with Martha Stewart I guess I whatever TV shows was out at her farm and she would always be out in a garden picking fresh stuff for the food so she's just done everything. You know, you just don't watch Martha enough. I guess not. Sorry Martha Martha Martha Martha. And those Marsha Marsha Marsha there you go sorry. So, she's really have a very in depth biography on wiki tree, but I'm sure many of you know Martha Stewart, she was born in the 40s, born, August 3 1941. American business woman and TV personality. You know she bake she cook she crafts she does everything. So, I don't know if we have any fun facts. Let's go look at her her garden I guess, specialize in gardening homesteading and home making endeavors. So Martha Stewart garden let's look at her garden. So that's some images of her garden. Oh look at look at Martha Stewart and her. My garden looks nothing like that. No mine either have some plants outside I'm growing some cucumbers and basil and mint. Far too early to plant nothing here. Yeah, you're a different, different zone for plants. Maybe one day. I'll have garden this big. So that's Martha Stewart everyone if anybody has some fun facts about Martha Stewart they'd like to share. She was also on finding your roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. So, you can check out that episode season one episode eight pbs. Okay, let's go on to our next. And please let us know who you're most closely connected to. So the next one, Liberty High Bailey says co founder of the American Society for her cultural science. Born March 15 1858 he's a Pisces just like me in Michigan and he died December 25 on Christmas in 1954 in New York. He migrated to Brazil. So he was a horculturist author botanist professor and Dean at Cornell University. He was a man of all seasons. He, he was the Dean of College of Agriculture at Cornell. Let's see say he went to Brazil, but why did he go to Brazil. That's what I want to know. He wrote a lot of books about plants. A lot of books about plants. Oh, I want to know why he went to Brazil. Okay, let's go. Okay, we're gonna do some Googling today. Liberty Bailey Brazil. How did he go to Brazil? Apparently he collected palms in Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Columbia. He did a lot of traveling apparently to do plant things and look he has this is a Cornell website. So they made a page for him. That's pretty cool. So that was Liberty High Bailey. Next we have Sir Joseph Banks, a botanist and naturalist. Born in February 13 1743 England and died June 19 1820. And look, he's on the Australian $5 banknote in 1967. Let's see. He was, let's see. He went to Oxford University without obtaining a degree after obtaining inheritance in 1764. And he entered on a natural science path with with emphasis on botany. Apparently he went on some expeditions and one of them by HMS Niger to Newfoundland and Labrador in 1766. He was also elected a fellow of the Royal Society. Then he was also went on one with Captain James Cook's ship endeavor. So he went a lot of trips to collect and observe. Let's see. Let's see. And he became the president of the Royal Society. And he remained so until his death. And he was a member of the Privy Council in 1797. And apparently there's still his life collections notes are still being catalogued 20 years after work began in 1989. They're still kind of gathering everything he's done. That's pretty cool. And they also called him the first baronet banks of Riversby Abbey. And next on our list we have Washington at Lee Burby born in 1858 in New Brunswick and died in 1915 in Pennsylvania. He was a pioneer in the American agriculture industry and the founder of one of America's leading seed companies burpees. You know you are closer to the burpee than anybody else to the burpee. To the burpee. That would make my dad happy. I think he likes to buy the burpee seeds but I've seen them before. So that's pretty cool. He created a seed company and it's still thriving. He owned a whole bunch of farms in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Laudchester County, California. He was author of several books on agriculture. And then upon his death his son David took over the family business and a legacy lives on in a W at Lee Burby seed company which like I said still exists today. Wow we have a real connection. Aaron Gullison is third cousins three times removed. Very cool. Next we have Albert Spear Hitchcock a botanist specializing in grass species. It's very interesting. Born in Michigan in 1865 and died in the Atlantic Ocean in 1935. I guess he was on an expedition when he died but I guess we'll find out shortly. So a leading botanist specializing in agro stilogist. I'm assuming that's the grass field since that's what he specialized in. He traveled widely collecting and documenting a huge number of grasses and other species from the Americas and other parts of the world. The question is how many species of grass are there. That's a good thing to Google if anybody wants to look up that for me. So apparently he was adopted to so it says the details of his parentage birth adoption is a subject of some speculation. Let's see. In 1892 became professor botany and botanist to the experiment station at Kansas State Agricultural College. Okay I want to see what he was doing in the Atlantic Ocean. Then he was the member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. We went to Hawaii in May 1921 sailed from San Francisco to Honolulu. I guess with his wife Rainia. Okay so Albert died on board the steamer of city of Norfolk bound for Baltimore after a heart attack on the 14th. I guess they were just traveling a lot and doing grassy things. Did anybody look up how many species of grass there were or no. Okay I'm going to look it up then. How many grass species. Seven thousand different species. Susan Carter seems to be the most related to all of these people. Yo mama says Yo mama says lots. Thank you for that. Okay next on our list look a Sarah with an H Sarah plumber lemon a botanical illustrator and cataloger. So she liked to draw plants. She was born in 1836 in Maine and died in 1923 in California. So she went from one side of the country to the other. So apparently she was a nurse for two years at Bellevue Hospital caring for wounded soldiers in the US Civil War. Susan also points out that being right after a thaw makes all of hers closer. So every time we go through and we connect with people the closer we are to our connections. I wonder if we go back to see past ones know kind of knowing what our connections were before how they've changed. Yeah. That would be something fun for a left to keep track of. So Sarah plumber. She taught art at a grammar school and she also became certified in chemistry and physics by supporting herself by teaching callus that gym. So calisthenics and giving art lessons. Like I said she was a nurse during the Civil War. And she married a she also married a botanist John Gill lemon former union soldier and prisoner of the infamous Anderson Bill prison camp in Georgia. So she began painting various fauna and flora and delved into botany. Look they have it look at their little camp. How cute in this camp in Arizona. And she wrote some articles about plants. Let's go look at some of her. This is one of her drawings drawings. Let's look at some of her stuff. Susie Carter says she has a mountain name for her in Tucson. There's a book that was written about her. Sarah lemon. Sarah plumber lemons left science and art gotten botanist stuff. Okay. Apparently they're there. Sarah and John are inter together and their gravestone to clear them partners in botany all. That's cute. I guess let's go see there. Hold on I want to see. Partners in botany. The California poppy was named the state flower 1903 due to the persistent efforts of Sarah lemon. She's like this is going to be the plant. Okay. Oops. Next on our list is. Pierre le vacui de. Bill more and founder of the. Andres le vacui de. Something something founder of something. Born in 1776 in Paris and died in 1862 in. In France as well. Oh that's in French. He was a core culturist. I can assume that from this word. There's an English version. That's it. This is it. That's the English version. So not much on him, but he was the founder. What does it say the. The boredom. Let's go look let's Google this real quick to see what it is the arboretum. It's so small I can't see it. Is a private arboretum located. Arboretum. Arboretum. The tree used play place. I got that much. Okay, good. I knew it was trees. So you founded this place. This is in French too. So. Let's go to the next one. Oh, look, next is Gregor Mandel father of botanical genetics. He is the father of genetics. Period plants. Well, he did he figured out though how genes are inherited by studying peas. Interesting 65. He is the father of modern genetics. So look, he is not just plant. Founder of botanical genetics, but genetics. So he was born in about 1822 in. The Austrian Silesia and then died in 1884. In Austria, Hungary, which now the Czech Republic. So Johan or Gregor. Johan sorry, I should know better. So he given the name Johan at baptism, but assume the name Gregor. When he became an Augustinian monk. Oh, look, he probably there's an article about him. Like I say YouTube video by science scientists with ideas that nobody believed who were right. I wonder. So 1847 he was ordained as a priest. And then he had his experiments with Pete plans from 1956 to 63. And then he has the presentation in 1865. In 1868 he was elevated to the position of Abbott at St. Thomas. So he was a genetic priest. He was a genetic priest even before the word genetic came about. Okay, next we have Martin. I don't think I want to pronounce his last name right Mobius, but I think those pronounce a little different. He was a director of botanical Institute at the University of Frankfurt. Born in 1859 in Duescher Bund, which is not even going to try to guess where. Netherlands or something. Somebody wants to correct me. Leipzig. Huh? Leipzig. And he died in 1946 in Frankfurt. But there's no profile manager for him. Somebody needs to adopt him. Leipzig is in Germany. I was assuming something along those lines. It's just the name, the Königreich Sachsen Deutsche Bund is just what the local naming was at that time. Okay. So let's see. So there's the German version and the English version. So apparently he was a direct descendant of Martin Luther. And his paternal grandfather was a notable astronomer and mathematician. So he was the first director of the botanical Institute, the University of Frankfurt. And yeah. And yeah. Some of them have really long biographies. Some of them, they're shorter. And apparently after the Nazi seed power in 1933. He wrote a letter to the Frankfurt Lord Mayor citing a great value of the Jewish scientist and urging him to intervene against excessive anti-Semitism. Yeah. Pretty cool. Hey, we have two more. Next one is we have William Herbert Purvis, a prolific plant collector born in 1858 in Scotland. Oh, look, Scotland. Scotland. And died on December 31st, 1950 in Scotland as well. Scotland. He was a plant collector investor in a shirking plantation on the Highland Island of Hawaii during the late 19th century. He was a rabid plant collector. Like I was the word rabid was used like he's a rabid. Okay. By 1885 he had a botanical garden which included chinchona planted in the some area of Hawaii. He brought numerous plants to Hawaii. And then some more grass and some bamboo to Hawaii on his trip back to Scotland he became engaged to his high school sweetheart they married in Hawaii. I didn't realize that the macadamia nut was not a native species to Hawaii. There you go. Learn something new. All thanks to Mr. Purvis here. A rabid plant collector. Rabid. He's a rabid plant collector animal. Just think of rabid animal. So apparently they stayed in Hawaii for a little bit and they made they went back to Scotland had four kids. And then the macadamia nut introduction into Hawaii. And then he demonstrated how they could thrive there and had they have become an important tree crop. So very cool. We always learn something new on these live casts. We do. Like there was the one time where we learned how to become a saint. Yes we did. So our last our last plant expert was Carl Linnaeus von Lin, a botanist who formalized and binomial nomenclature. That's a mouthful. So he was born in 1707 in Sweden and died in 1778 in Sweden. So let's see. He he systematized the scientific nomenclature of living things and developed a higher hierarchical classification system under kingdoms classes, orders, generic species. Although he was not the first to use the binomial nomenclature system, his works popularized in a scientific community. Nice. And then he also created many of the Latin names and many of the Latin names created for specific plants and animals. He went to study botany medicine first in London and then oops. Oops. And then he set off on a journey to Lapland in 1732. Let's see. And he was ignited by the king in 1757 and introduced into the House of Nobles in 1761. And his name as a nobleman became Carl von Lin and apparently has his best known works are too massive catalogs of plants and animals. John Tyner just announced that he's now in the car and it's right on. It's sustaining ourselves eating mixed berry crumble slices and mom eating Nori seaweed crispies. That does not sound very good. Now the berry crumble. Yeah, but not the seaweed, but right on, you know, keeping that thing. Ooh. And that that's pretty much it for Carl. So those are all of them. Yeah, that was it. I wanted to post something that Nancy Betsy said Betsy co during the connections we were talking about who's connected and I was posting some of the connections. And Betsy says two weeks ago I spent about six hours disproving a relationship so that I could disconnect two profiles and that her connection pass have taken a big hit. But I'm happy that it's accurate now. That's what it's all about. It's about being having an accurate tree. You can find something even if your connections take a hit. And I can't say oh Betsy Co's related to everybody by one degree. We can still say Betsy Co's very accurately regret related to these people by 500 degrees. Okay. Betsy. Sarah with an H. Yes, Sarah with an H. I'm like Sarah with an H. We're going to look for bunnies. Yes. Did you notice that the picture on the main page was. Yes, I saw that. But it wasn't a real bunny wasn't. Oh, I don't think so. It's a stuffed bunny. But it was adorable. So you share your photos this week's photo theme is happiness. Let's share your screen. Okay, so let's go look at the, let's see, we have 11 photos to look at and then we'll look at the G2G post. Oh, the babies. I guess that would make somebody happy holding that probably their grandchild. Yeah, their granddaughter. Oh, Francis at age 75 still driving preparing for a picnic. What state is that? It's Ontario. Is that Ontario? That's what it says. Good things, girl. Oh, this is a cute one. Definitely, they definitely look happy. Oh, this is love. There's another one of somebody holding a baby. I guess the whole thing babies make people happy. Babies make people happy. I guess unless the babies are crying. Oh, look, with Santa. Doesn't look very happy though to be with Santa. The baby doesn't. He's like giving a side eye. No, I'm not sure about this guy with all this beard. We know what getting the presents make people happy. Oh, this is cute. Does it say who this is?

Okay, my daughter and myself just happy to be dancing and together. Is that Jeanine again? No, it's Karen. Hmm. So that was the last photo here. But let's look at the G to G post really quick. See if there's anything we haven't seen already. We saw this one. Oh look. It's a horse and bunny. It's a pony. Here's my husband on the pony that came down the street.

Oh, this, the Santa photo that we're not really sure that he was happy or not. Oh, that's a sad story then. Charles and Hazel were thrilled to adopt their son as an infant. He was their entire world and never wanted for anything. He was very happy child at all times, even while undergoing treatment for leukemia. He eventually died at the age of five. Okay. Yeah, very sorry for that. They saw that happy baby photo. But there's a happy baby. That was the first one we saw. That is the first one we saw. And I think that is all for happy, happy photos.

You often do because you're doing conferences and stuff. Oh We do have a question max. Yay hmm That's a good question. Well, basically GDPR grandchildren to wiki tree because you are not them Well, also like the parents is the parents you can You can add your children but usually also since they're going to be private anyway and Or I'm listening to young. There's no also adding them Anybody under 18 were not we don't add we don't normally add and in the past we did we were able to add children as part of the Descendants list but that changed with the introduction of the general data protection regulation the EU established So when wiki tree kind of tightened up ship a bit to follow that regulation Or get fined and we don't want wiki tree to get fined We kind of did away with people being able to add people that are living so Unless you're the living person really shouldn't be adding people. Yeah, and then children are just just because they're minors It's just there's a whole bunch of I'm actually So I'm actually gonna pull this up. You have to be their parent or legal guardian if you do want to add Or if you want if you want to add them get the parents to join wiki tree and Create the profile and make you profile and their profile have them join and they can create it If you really want them on wiki tree so Yeah, and Bev Bev is kind of reinforcing what we're saying Frank you technically don't have permission Unless the parents and that great glad you understand that Awesome, yeah Any more questions we've got two minutes two minutes.
