I sure hope so Williams should be Let's see ancestry says 16% Welsh. I get 0% Welsh. I just get British Isles and Here's one Robin Lann says I have two Jones lines in a radner shire a line of Tulsi vickers from Hlaen Dunham, I do know how to pronounce the double L's because the cottage that I go to every year is Named for the Welsh grandfather whose money purchased the cottage and that cottage is Plendid so I don't I do know how to say how do you pronounce how do you pronounce the double L? And aid so lots of great answers in the The Facebook group. Yes, I have washed roots. It also showed up in my DNA test thumbs up for that Shows up in both my mother's and father's family and also on my husband's side who was born in Hungary Craziness craziness jump over to the G to G feed give her look look What look look look look Thomas says a voiceless Elville. Oh my goodness. You're giving me words that I came to pronounce there. How to pronounce Thanks Thomas so lots of good questions in our question of the week and I'm gonna skip. There's like a million comments. Don't comment My DNA stuff and I haven't I don't actually find anything but says I'm 20% Irish Scottish and Welsh But I think it's more Irish than Scottish and Welsh Because I haven't found any Welsh ancestors Wales is such a fun. It's like a mystical magical land because it's so Insular like it's a it's a singular thing and not connected a lot to England and anyway I think it's a wells is cool I love this answer and I really think it should be best answer So I'm gonna I'm gonna give it best answer. Um, yeah Jones unfortunately Okay And this was the former front from Frank gale the former best answer is that he has a book titled the genealogy of the Williams family descendants of William Williams of Neath glamour glam organ shower wells now somebody in all of this information Says that there are so many people who identify as descendants of people from glamour again or glamour again share Wales and One of the things that I learned reading this is that that area Wales was the highest density populated area and So a lot of people saying they're from that area makes a lot of sense because that's where everybody a lot of people live So that was cool And I never knew that there were Welsh Quakers until I read Kathy Forbes answer and of course Janine Isleman who's in our chat today? Most of my ancestors were German French English Scottish Netherlands Irish, but my ninth great-grandfather Thomas Pippin Is which is through my mother's didn't decide my fifth great-grandmother more mooring hog Her mother was Judith Pittman. So Thomas was Welsh from what I could tell and that's the only ancestor I could find just one little itty-bitty drop of Welsh means that you're special Janine just saying Jumping on over to Let's see. Oh, I like this Marcia Thomas answered and this this really takes me back to my question from Thomas Kerline who says he has a Jones line. Yes, he does and then he's visiting with members of the family right now Is she was born in Wales and came mostly from a Welsh family three of my four grandparents spoke Welsh Although my mother didn't find out that her father had spoken while she was a child until long after he had actually died My father's people are from Welsh of alleys pond dirt Doll And that general region There were farmers and consistent families of Thomas Owen Morgan Davies and Edwards My mother's families and make sure of English Welsh and Irish and she goes on But this is her question the question she has for us as researchers I find it very hard doing research for my well's families Welsh family history and believe that one of the reasons could be that if You go back far enough to the people They wouldn't speak English, but would be speaking Welsh like my ancestors From the appearance of some of the census documents. It's obvious that the person writing down the town names could not speak Welsh The spelling is English. I think it's very likely that my Welsh ancestors probably didn't read or write because they only spoke Welsh So my question is is there a lack of census information or a lack of documentation because it simply Wasn't kept because the government responsible was English Speaking but the people locally would have spoken Welsh That was a roundabout way of asking a very good question. And so does anybody have any ideas on that? about that which goes to the whole thing of I was just curious if the language Welsh is similar to Irish And Scott, I don't know. I don't know if they're like all like kind of very similar. I don't think that they are I Think they have lots of consonants But other than then having lots of consonants and stuff I Think that Irish is supposed to be a specific dialect and Scottish is another specific dialect, but they're very similar I think Welsh is different Don't shoot me if I'm very very wrong um Delain our buck now. This is somebody who has a wonderfully Welsh sounding name Yes, I thought it was only my maternal grandfather. However, if I'm many Welsh ancestors on both sides I now look for app and first in family names. So there's another good hint for you Um, the app is like the child of or son of it's like odority or in an Irish So if you see app Griffith or something like that, you know, you're looking at somebody who's Welsh Let's see Yes, Mon Muck's share The line is so far back say so 13th century. So there might be one drop of blood And on top of all of that we do have a Wells project on wiki tree So if you are interested in finding out more information, I would check in with Richard Devlin Stuart Aubrey Lizzie Griffiths Olivia McCabe and you might have You might find out more information about how to do research David says it's more likely that the enumerators did speak Welsh But they were trying to translate their place names into English before sending them back Nines, that's a very very astute observation David. So Did you have something else? Oh, yeah, we were talking about well, I looked it up But also Thomas confirmed so Welsh is a Celtic language So Cornish goddess Gaelic Irish makes a Welsh belong to the Celtic branch of the Indo European But and then Celtic in terms of biases to some groups and then you have yeah, so then They're but they're all in the same kind of group of languages And Heather has a little bit more on that as well. Well, thank you Heather Gaelic and Irish are gold delk languages that are much closer related Nice and then Thomas said some more Welsh belongs To the Bretonic branch which became distinct around the 5th century and differs from the Gaelic branch And then Greg asked is part of Wales or part of England Cornwall is interesting Somerset as well is so close to the Welsh border that sometimes it was part of Wales and then not so it depended depended like there's a Manor that doesn't have anything to do with my family that I know I've called golden manor in Somerset But the very very very first original owner of the land was a very Welsh looking name that started with a G So Learning lots about Welsh whale. Yeah, the whale we should have had the whales project. We should have had Richard Devlin We should have gotten him out of bed Anyway, and Cornwall is in Devon Just saying I was I was thinking more Thomas says Cornwall is part of England, but it is it is a Celtic region The Cornish language wiped out by English colonizers is also Celtic There you go So great question the week really got us chatting in here about it. That's great And thank you for not laughing at me for my pronunciations today They only laugh at me Wales has a lot of Single syllable names are similar to Asian names Interesting and it's very interesting Learn so much always learn something new Nice Schools have now begun teaching Cornish interesting and in Ireland There's a big push to try and revive the Irish language And so there is a network in Ireland that is nothing but Irish language. So that's that's pretty cool, too And Chris Farrell says no we laugh at everybody affair. Oh Thank you for laughing at everybody Chris We also laugh back at you. I don't know if anybody ever laughs at many We need to find a reason for people to laugh at Mindy if she's gonna continue hanging out with us on Saturday Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you'll find plenty Okay There you go the Duolingo bird is threatening So that is the question of the week and I just really love reading those through the week and all of that Now I guess we will go into our profiles. I wonder if any of them are from Wales that'd be fun, but Really linear Wow, we got called out. Really got right there Okay, so No, this is a fun week this week race car drivers Which race car driver are you most closely connected to let's see I am most closely connected to one. That's not listed. Oh I didn't put his name up It's gonna be a fun fun one. Okay, so we first we'll go into I Am sharing my screen correct. Yes, I believe so. Yes. No, are you talking about screen share? Although I'm trying to zoom. Okay, whatever. We'll just so Wendell Scott is our main featured connection Main connection. He was a stock car racing driver He was first black driver licensed by NASCAR and the third black driver to start race to start a race and NASCAR's top level series then called the Grand National Series and the first black driver to run regularly in that series and the first black driver to win a race in that series and He all accomplished this during the Jim Crow era in the South born in Virginia 1921 and died in 1971 and he was also drafted into the Army in 1943 and he was a mechanic with the 3116th quartermaster company. Very cool. Very cool It was very accomplished And very nice biography so read it when you get a chance always learn something new Wow There we go. Good job Okay, and it was as normally like as we're talking as I'm talking about our profiles Please let me know who you're most closely connected to Who did you say? Well, you say you're most closely connected to one. That's not their mags, but yeah, right? Grey-golding gray-golding look Canada Oh, yeah, it's you Villanoff. I pronounce it for you. Thank you. I didn't have a bunch of that one That one's my closest Really? Yeah You're closest so far is Ronald socks Sarah Ronald socks. Yeah. Oh, that's different because usually we're closer That one was my 17 degrees and then I'm 18 degrees from Robin Shaw's Or a member of the week So, so how do you have what was how is that name pronounced again mags? Jill Villanoff So was a Canadian racing driver who spent six years in the Grand Prix motor racing with Ferrari winning six races and finishing second in the world championship in 1979 The racetrack in Montreal host to the Formula one Canadian Grand Prix was named circuit His name in his honor. He was born in Quebec in 1950 and died in Belgium in 1982 and His profile so we have his profile in French and in English because we like to you know try to put it in the language that they would have spoken Very cool Yeah, and they aren't mentioning this but somebody did let me grab that Jacques Villanoff Was the son and he was also a Formula one champion Hmm Cool. So next one we have is Peter Brock From Australia, where is Benjamin? Sleeping probably I don't blame him Who has his phone number call that man and wake him up wake up, and please please please Remember when we did that to Alash once that was funny. We called Alash and He was ignoring us for a little bit though. Alash. Are you here? He was sleeping. Is that ignoring really? I don't know Sleeping same thing So Peter Brock was born in Australia in 1945 and he was professional motor racing driver since 1969 nine times winner of the stand-down endurance a Record nine times winner in the Australian motorsports best-known event winner Bathhurst 10000 and one him nickname king of the mountain. I Like Tommy box answer. I'm closely connected to my two siblings who think they are race car drivers That's pretty funny. Do they go racing down the street Tommy? Oh John says that his great uncle started his own racing car team. That's pretty cool Lynette says hers were moonshiners and they had to race a lot Oh Look who we look who we have here. Maybe if you already showed it, but we have sorry bags Stop it. We have we have Devin from I'm assuming is Devin from family history phonetics to the wiki tree challenge Had to find the public ideology for my comfort families now decide how much I want to trust the books I Feel better Devin Devin says she's under the weather. Well, look apparently Chris's nephews plays a lot of Mario Kart You keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing Sarah Sorry go back. I got okay. I just want to look at the chat ever again See how it is We have the next one we have is Diana. I guess we don't know where she was born. Do we not know where she was born? Does anybody know can we? Maybe she's born was born in Australia, but we don't currently a week tree. We are not unsure so She died in us. She died in Australia in 2012 She was married to Lex Davidson a budding race car driver and she became one of Australia's pioneer female racing car drivers regularly competing in the hill climb events one of the oldest forms of motorsports and The couple had seven children Please take a second and walk Devin it through how to find her closest connections okay, so The quickest way would be to go to your own profile. So we'll open my well guess we'll see who I'm most closely connected to So it's the one way you can do it and do we have little if you click here on your matches That would just take you down to where you can see your connections. Let's see. I was looking categories. Oh I click matches. I don't know you can click either one. It'll take you to the bottom of the page It looks like I'm also most closely connected to Ronald socks. Is that what you said mags? Yeah I did say that. Yeah, you did 16 degrees to Ronald socks. Let's see how through my dad, of course But it's only one jump only one marriage, let's see if I'm actually I'm 14 degrees from Claude Lindley That's cool I'm 20 degrees from him. That's interesting because that's on my mama's side, and that's usually where you and I That's that's the closest connection I've had on any of the connection finders that we've done so far Yeah, I Think this one 16 was one of the closest ones for me 16 degrees. Okay Did that answer your question Devin had a how to figure out who you're most closely connected to? Okay, next on the list another female Elizabeth Hague Born in 1905 in England and she began her racing career in 1934 in Chalfon Street Peter she entered the junior racing drivers club speed hill climb and was able to success Successfully run the race in 1936 she raced in the Olympic rally Which was being held in conjunction with the 1936 summer Olympics and placed first Which run her an Olympic gold medal Wow, and yeah, it's pretty cool. She died in Scotland in 1987 Very cool Do we we should have a ooh, I guess just thought of something we should have a sticker for Olympic gold medal winners We don't already have one get on that now Get on it We have isn't Steven here Steve Steve Done before we finish and we'll come back to the profile and look at it Yeah, yeah, but somebody add the sticker and let me know and then we'll come back and we'll look at the sticker Okay, you'll create the sticker add the sticker. Yes I'll be waiting Next ooh Gaston Chevrolet I Wonder why I wonder if it's a coincidence that Chevrolet is his last name So He was born in France another French Way Sarah speaking French now So Okay, so Gaston's racing was throughout the 1920s was exceptional and one of the end of the year he held the lead over Tommy Milton in points Hold on one race remained the board track in the Beverly Hills, California Gaston started off competitive and determined to finish strong to win the championship But on lap 146 near the third fourth mark of the race Tragedy struck Gaston made a move past another car and Gaston's Frontenac made contact with Eddie O'Donnell's car the pair went off track through the fence and the end O'Donnell's car was pinned beneath Chevrolet's Chevrolet was killed instantly as there were O'Donnell's riding mechanics O'Donnell died of a skull fracture the following day And he died he died in California So what but is he related to the actual Chevrolet car? That's what I want. Well, certainly they named Chevrolet after him So so Lewis founded the Chevrolet Motor Company in 1911 with additional inventors including once William C. Durant who also owned Buick The symbol for the company was a modified Swiss cross to remind them of their roots cool And that's a sad You know tragedy that happened to him, but the risk the risk you take when you know, it's a dangerous sport No Okay, oh Look, oh my goodness gracious Okay We're gonna try it guys. Okay Are we ready? Yep, they say the whole thing. So we have John Kerr, Carl Peter and Tony, Jen Hubertus, Godin de Beaufort. How's that? I don't think it was too bad. Godin de Beaufort Where was he born? Why don't we know where he was born either? In the Netherlands probably It also seemed like his profile needs some work needs some love And 20 1934 and 20 cousins with him So he died in he died in 1964 and he participated in 31 World Championship Grand Prix becoming the first Dutchman ever to score points in the Formula 1 championship and Numerous non-championship Formula 1 races He's one of the he was one of the last truly immature drivers in F1 and ran his own cars He painted the vibrant Dutch racing color orange So that's Carl Godin de Beaufort de Beaufort Okay, next we have Ronnie Peterson Where where is what I don't I don't I'm sorry guys where Where is that that doesn't help me? He was born in 1944 and Why could stop it? Sweden Is that a correct guess? I Just I just healed judging in the background.

That is true Okay, I'm gonna go back to doing what I was doing I So born in Sweden in 1944 He began his motor racing career in cart racing after winning a number of cartoon titles including two Swedish titles in 1963 1964 he moved on to formula three where he won the Monaco Grand Prix formula three sport race And later that year he won the FIA European Formula three championship and moved up into Formula one I just think it's funny that they named their like things like formula three formula two Formula one I don't know. Okay in the three-year spell with the March team He took six podiums most of which were scored during the 1971 formula one season But she also finishes runner-up in the drivers championship, and then he died in Italy in 1978 So yep Apparently he died from injuries sustained in a multi-car crash You know what we've learned from this today is that driving race cars is dangerous. Yes. Yes That's what I said. It's dangerous So is that I Mean it oops everything Anything could Everything can be dangerous, but driving cars definitely racing is dangerous. Okay, so we have Butch Lindley born in South Carolina 1948 He etched his name into NASCAR history by winning NASCAR late model sportsman series titles in 1977 and 78 and captured the 1984 all-pro series national title before that series was incorporated into NASCAR He competed in 11th cup races in five seasons with best finish of second at Martinsville Speedway He had won 550 victories and was the all-pro all-pro circuits Winning his career driver at the time of his accident.

He was often paired off against Buddy Martin and earth in nearly identical cars He beat Martin so often every time it happened Martin would ask socks to be his driver for second place Finally the team paired up and he died in 2006 But not of racing cars So Okay, then we have our last one Norman Hill, mr. Monaco born in 1929 in England see This mr. Monaco is regarded as one of the greatest motor racing drivers of his generation Winning for being the one World Drivers Championships on two occasions in 1962 and in 1968 and finishing runner-up on three occasions He remains the only driver ever to win the triple crown of motorsport The indianapolis 500 the 24 hour of lamans and the grand prix of demonaco Very cool. So that's all of our profiles guys. That's it Was there a trend on who everybody was most closely connected to or not really not really no Any kind of chatter in the background Not right now. We were just so transfixed on what you were saying that we I'm so glad that I kept everybody's attention Okay So I guess we'll go look at the photos of the week now Yeah My favorite part of the day Hey, let's go.
