 I'm not really well connected as we figured out in the chat. Oh, yeah. Good morning. Yes. Yes, I am. Good morning and welcome to the Saturday live cast. And if I disappear, I'll be right back. It's a fabulous, beautiful day. But people tell me it's snowing west of me. So I got a fire going in a fireplace. So I'm good. It's a weird morning. You know why? Why is it a weird morning here to go first? Well, I don't I don't have to go first first. If you would like to do. Yes, you do. Yes. But but I was I was typing that question that we were talking about and hoping to get a reply before I go. I go first. I get that needs to get out of here because she has to go mold young minds. So the important thing is I'm going to mind your like play. Yeah. She's not going last today. So I can start this off. Can you pull up the question of the week on your computer? Oh, I can. Yes, I should have known that's exactly what you meant when driving and just hold on a sec. If you want to know while Greg's doing that when when when one person says you're driving that means that they're doing the technical end of some of the stuff in the background that you don't normally see. So he's driving this morning. I'm driving. Yes. Well, I was prepared to start, you know, start the thing and turn on the music and the videos and stuff, but I haven't queued up your question. It occurred to me at one point and then I lost that occurrence and forgot. Okay. So here I am on the homepage. Where's the what's the quickest way? Down to the bottom. Bottom of the right. Bottom of the right. There you go. Adoptions. There we go. There you go. If you're ever wondering how to find the question of the week, go to the homepage and then bottom of the right. There you go. I also want to pull up this. I'll put it up here in the private chat. And then I have a couple more profiles that I'd like to pull up when they get you back. There you go. It's also hard to do the driving when you're just on a laptop. Yes. You only have one screen and you're used to having three or even two. Yeah. You're done this on the laptop. I am just prepared someday for my mind to be blown. Oh. Screens. Once you go. You know what I did? I got a I got an extra monitor for my laptop, but I didn't bring it. I thought about bringing it and then I didn't but that makes a huge difference. And I have one of those. Hospital bed tables where you can slide it under the bed. If you're sick, but I use it in the living room because I can slide it under the sofa and get the laptop really close to me. And I have a board across the back of it with, with, um, wood workers clamps holding the board and then the, I've clamped the extra monitor to the board. So it looks like the Beverly hillbillies, but it works. But it works. Speaking of Appalachia. Yeah. Hey, I have, um, we had some great answers today in the question of the week. Uh, and I want to know, Betsy, do you have any adoptions in your family? No, we do not, which is surprising. None. None. None. I'm aware. Not a. Well, I'm, it's an interesting thing to have adoptees in your family. It's, it's, it's an interesting thing. It's also could be a hard thing for a family. And there's also all sorts of, uh, stories that could go along with the adoptions, you know, bad stories, good stories. Uh, one of the stories this morning that we saw in the, uh, question of the week was. Yeah. Um, this woman, we'll talk about a minute went to board with a woman and a woman ended up adopting her. That's such a good story. That's nice. Very good stories. Greg, do you get, do you have any adoptions? I certainly do. Uh, well, I myself am adopted and I've always known that I was adopted and was adopted into a very warm, loving family and, um, accepted by all my cousins and aunts and uncles. Um, and interestingly, so when I went, when I did my first DNA test, the very first person who contacted me was my first, was a first cousin of mine. She sent me an email and said, I see we're a match. Um, I wonder if we can figure out how we're related. And then I replied back while I'm adopted. So I have no idea. I have no data to give you. And, and then her reply to my, me was, Oh, well, I'm adopted too. So it's like a blind lead in the blind turns. Yeah. So that was kind of funny. And then. Go ahead. Yeah. So she is connected. Um, she is connected. Uh, and we figured out exactly how that all happened. Um, and then when I connected with my birth family and I think I, and I pulled this story before and, and met my full brother and full sister on family day in, um, in 2018, we got together and, uh, we have stayed connected and they've been just absorbed into the larger Clark family. Um, and I think that's where biological, um, siblings have children of their own. So this was, my family is the continuation of, of the family. And, I think I shared a Thanksgiving picture at sunset of our Thanksgiving year where I was invited. I think you did that by AI. I don't think that's a real picture. It looks, it's, it's amazing how good that looks. But in that picture, I didn't actually pull it up now because I wanted to give you more time. But basically in that picture, along with my wife and I, my full brother, full sister, a half sister that we share through my dad's side of the family. And then another half sister, my half sisters, other half sister, like she found a new half sister who herself had been adopted. Um, so it's, well, but we're, so we're all one big family. Um, and they all, my adoptive and my biological siblings, I'll get along. It's, and when they get together, it's, it's one big party. Yeah, and, and I want to say that, um, Betsy is this as well. Um, all the people that I've worked with, uh, for years for like almost 10 years now or 11 years, all the people at wiki tree are kind of like a, uh, taking people in there, adopting people. So I feel very adopted by Greg. I also feel very adopted by Betsy. So I'm not adopted. But if you, if you think of it that way, I am, I do want to say, I want to share, um, if you could go to that profile I posted. Um, yeah, um, this is my connection to any adoptee, except I found an adoptee when we were at roots tech, but I haven't been able to reach out to him. So I don't want to tell his story without having permission. Uh, but Agnes Curran, uh, was a home child, uh, from Britain's, which means that her family, um, gave her up for adoption and went into one of several homes and this particular home she went into was a Bernardo home. Um, when I talked to that side of the family, so it is my spouse's grandfather's brother, William, who married Agnes, who is the girl in the picture on the left, uh, there. And the other fella is her brother. So everybody in the family knew she had a brother, but nobody in the family knew his story and didn't know what happened to him. The story was the story that everybody tells about immigration is that the ship made port and he jumped ship. How many times have we heard that in stories of people immigrating? So the story was he jumped ship and nobody ever heard from him again. Well, I started doing the research on him and found that he actually lived with his sister Agnes and her husband for a time. So there is a connection to him. He wasn't lost. He was always a part of the family. But this is an interesting adoption story. This is a really not great story about children that are kind of forced into being indentured servants with families because the British system wanted to clear their, their books as it were and get those children on moved out and get them into a different situation, which sometimes turned out really great. Like in the case of Agnes and sometimes it didn't turn out so great in the terms of her brother. I don't know his full story. I don't know where he is now. I don't know if he had a family. But there was something going on with that. And so sometimes that's good. Look at how gorgeous she is. The picture she and her husband. Yeah. And yeah, gorgeous. And also the currents with their, their walrus mustaches. Yeah. They all had pretty, pretty crazy good veers. So that's Agnes. And I've done a lot of research on her and done a lot of work. And I've added the home children profile. And that is a really interesting story of adoption. So on to back to the question of the week. So that's my connection to adoption. Nice. Other than I've adopted Betsy and Greg. You know, so there were lots of great questions. If you would scroll down to Lula Barrick in one of those, she has a link in the question of the week to her profile. It's down. We had how many questions? How many answers? 67 answers. Yeah. And there were a lot of people who said, yes, I'm adopted. I think they've shared their story. So if you want to read some of the ones that are in that information for theirs. So Lula Bell, let me get back to you. Lula Bell, she has a great biography, really good biography there. She was in Kansas City. She was the daughter of higher Barrick and Cora Chance. And you notice there's quite a few sources that she was. And I love the Wiki Tree browser that I can just hover over these and see the information here from some of these records. Taylor Lula Bell, funeral notes. So Lula was boarded. Yeah, this is the person that we were talking about earlier that this was a really good story that she was sent away to be boarded with Susan F. Kirby. She doesn't really go into, the backstory of why she may have been boarded out. But in the time that she lived, it might have been hard for her family to support numerous children. She's got one, two, three, and maybe the fourth child was just too many miles to feed. So they boarded her out. It was less expensive to board her somewhere. Like with the home children, it was much less expensive to send them over here and find them families in Canada or in the US or Australia. And so she lived with this Susan F. Kirby in Bourbon County, Kansas. And this was 1900. So she formally adopted her on February the 18th, 1901. So within a year coming to live with her, Lula's sister, Stella and Berek lived with Lula's adoptive mother who had married again near Englevale, Lincoln Township, Crawford, Kansas. And then Lula went on to marry Archibald the 20th of October 1909 in Wichita. So she was fairly progressed in age before she went to live with Kirby. If she was adopted in 1901 and then married in 1909, you would think she would have to enter teens at some point. She was older adoption. And who knows what the home life might have been. It may have been a rank first situation who knows. They lived in Kirkwood, St. Louis, Missouri. They lived in Arkansas and Little Rock. And then she went on to live at some point in Santa Clara, California because that is where she passed away at the age of 96. 96. That's excellent. That's a bright stage. And she's also got some research notes for the California Death Index. They've got a different birth date than what Amur could have. Great sources. And the final grade over in the see also section. I like to see that because the final grade is not really a source even with a single home. Yeah, it's way down that I move. Oh, thank you. I'm sitting here thinking I'm driving. I'm not. Is that scrolling the way you want? Yeah, a lot of times when I'm writing like the information at the very top, the third notch there for the source says that Taylor Lula Bell was funeral services. I would have slipped that down to she died. She passed away. And that is there. So she doubled up on that source. But then I would have put find a grave template with the squiggly line you say find a grave with all three words with a pipe and just find a grave number, memorial number, and it creates a little bit of verbiage. And then after that I put a comma and I paste in the burial information that comes with the find a grave. I don't normally paste a find a grave that doesn't have a burial information if it's a non burial if it's just a memorial. I may place that memorial up there if the memorial page has sources and information on it that might be helpful to other researchers and I rarely ever put that in the actual sources section. So that's a really nice profile with lots of great information to share. And it shows a lot of good ways of working with an adoptee's information. It's respectful. She doesn't go into a lot of the details about why she was adopted and there may be family Laura about what went on. For my grandmother who wasn't adopted I spilled all the beans. I put it all out there. But I know for a fact that she would appreciate it because she fought her whole life to prove who she was. So I put her story out there big time. Go through, read these questions of the week, check it out see if you can figure out where your adoption story might be in your family. You might have some pretty cool adoption stories as well. And I hope I hope, hope, hope that I can tell you the adoption story in the Templeton family that I learned while I was at Roots Tech I hope that I can do that soon. I hope that he reaches back out to me and that we can continue the conversation. What I think is that my emails are probably ending up in his junk folder. You know, because I am Appalachian trash but he is too, he is too. So let's do that. I'm going to pass over to Madame Betsy Co and let her have at it. All right. Thank you, Mags. And I don't think we've said it. We've said Appalachia about three times now. Appalachia. Biscuits. Biscuits. Biscuits. And I was even showing my Appalachia earlier before anybody even came in. Oh, yes. Look at that. Yeah, they were talking about snow in the area and I said hush your mouth which is a very Appalachian thing to say. Thankfully nobody was offended and people took up for me. That's Mags. That's just Mags. She's Appalachian, you know. Yeah, that's right. So let's see. Oh, look at that. Is Anne Fiora-Lisi in the chat? Have we seen her? I was too busy driving to read all the people in the chat. Well, I can hope I can drive the chat. Well, Anne, if you're here thank you for sharing this lovely photo. So April's photo theme is couples. And so they just look deeply in love. This is Billy and Bea Moss and still in love after 50 years plus of marriage and five children living in Kankakee, Illinois. Thanks to her cousin. She's not okay. Well, I'll have to tell her to have to tell her to watch. She probably didn't think that it would happen until much later in the life. Okay, well it'll be there for her on the replay. So thank you, Anne. And then this next photo I am going to go a little actually on this one I let me go go to regular size. Okay. So this was contributed by M Ross and we have James Amaziah McClellan and Anne McClellan and these are family members on her husband's side of the family. They were married June 11th 1879 and okay, you guys are going to help me. Calendon Township, Ontario. Caledon. Caledon. Okay, they were married in Caledon but by 1906 they had made the move to farm in Saskatchewan and then James died in 1925 and died in 1941 and they were buried in Vancouver and they were first cousins once removed. So, I take it her maiden name really was McClellan but really striking photo for the time so clear and crisp and I I see Anne. Yeah. So, thank you, Anne. And then the third one that came through was on the free space page. Don't forget about that free space page. This is from Christine Milt. I know, right? These are adorable. And now both pictures are just beautiful. They were married in 19... It looks like they like each other. That's an important thing in a marriage. Yeah. So, I love the smiles. Very nice. So, thank you so much, Christine. And we have one more Saturday in April. So, I know there are more couples photos out there in your photo albums. Please post them so we can enjoy them. So, then now I'm going to move to our tip of the week and I'm going to... Hang on, I'm going to go back to normal size and I'm also going to put in the chat the link to this G2G post that I am showing right now so that you can have a look too. So, this is something some changes that went live on April 1st and we've already talked a few weeks ago about how you probably have noticed now that the search output looks different. We have a table now but it's got very nice functionality with some extra ways to search and you can actually double filter. I would say that's a win in so many ways. So, today I thought that I would talk about the changes to invitations to living family members. So we no longer have to ask people if we can invite them if there was a period where it was a very circular process just invite them. So, you would go ahead your cousin go ahead and create a profile for them and as you may have noticed the important data fields there is a field for email address so go ahead and add that in. Please do not if you listen to nothing else during the tip this is important. Don't create a living profile without inviting them. We do value people's privacy very, very highly we want to give them it's their information so whether or not they want to be on wikitree is really up to them it's only fair that we offer them a chance to accept or decline. So, what will happen then let me go to this is the help page on invitations and again these are not long reads there it is in the chat go ahead and have a look at that so when you put their email address in because they're your family member they're automatically going to be able to be a family member and they will get an email that will say something like this say it's me that I'm inviting my cousin Betsy Cohen invites you to view and share family history on wikitree and then I can put in a few sentences to customize it talks about wikitree has a link to the video YouTube about what wikitree is all about then there will be a link click here to create a password for private access to what Betsy Cohen has has added talks about our privacy how we value it and it says if you do let's see if you do not create a password within 30 days then what is going to happen is that their account is going to become anonymous it's going to be an anonymous placeholder and which will look something like this and all it will be would be anonymous or living so and so and it will preserve that in the family relationship within your tree Greg answered your question we were wondering before we went on well if someone declines are you no longer than profile manager as the person who created the profile we think the answer is yes you are still the profile manager that it will still show up in your watch list but you should not make any changes and in fact if the person declines then there is going to be a template on their profile that says this person has respectfully declined so let me go back go back here they can delete the invitation but in that in that case all data will be thoroughly removed from WikiTree but that opens up the possibility that maybe my other cousin who is a genealogist will add them and invite them again so the advantage of having an anonymous placeholder profile is that you can just stop there and you won't be bothered any further and when they actually decide later on to join WikiTree and they don't know about the invitation anymore they can't find the invitation will they be able to find themselves to be able to claim the profile that was created for them I would say I mean chances are they would know the person who originally created them you know the family WikiTree they don't have it if this was a distant cousin they don't have the invite anymore will they be able to connect with their original profile that's a question that I have about this and I'm sorry I didn't give you something you can't answer but yeah I think we will find that answer out right because hmm that is interesting put in their name exactly as they had and their email that the system already has that the system would recognize them I mean my understanding of this new process is that if a person declines initially information such as their birth date and their birth place is wiped so the system would not have that to match up to profiles or a potential profile an insisting profile but yeah I mean the other thing that's possible is that the relationship within the family is preserved and therefore right I mean the way our system works we only have one biological father so if someone is saying that they are a biological father then then the system should catch that I guess Victor is asking what if they use it in email yeah I know that if they put in the name the system would recognize but I don't know but it depends on how common or unique the name is right yeah so here's another comment from Hilary about the email there the question that Victor has once you've logged in you can edit your own email address so it's not like some systems where your initial login is carved in stone you can change your email address you do have to log in at one point with that but then you can change it to a preferred one if you want to change providers yeah and I'll go back to Hilary's comment there the team usually has to merge the profiles if you have a duplicate so it would be something you would send to info at WikiTree mm-hmm right and then I'm also just putting in the chat there's a there's a separate help page for anonymous placeholders so that's the other place where you would you would want to have a look if you're you're wondering about this and I'm on the page now so as it says what's on a placeholder essentially just a last name and one or more family relationships so that that allows you know people to see oh Barry Smith already her father's already on WikiTree so I hope that was helpful and not confusing I feel like it's it's really not confusing but but it's it's hard to really experience until you walk through examples and is there a G to G post that we could send people to if they want to discuss this further yes the one that I put up initially did you see the here I'll post it again and yeah this is the place to comment with questions concerns so there it is again yep thanks thanks so if you have some questions go over there and check it out posted it again oh good good good well um do you go ahead no no we have a we have a question when you're done I have there's a question for you in the chat yeah yeah not at all I'm going to celebrate your ancestors but yeah okay just real quick and this is an easy one to answer here a question I have I have some records that go beyond the 1600s from family search but wiki tree does not allow me to add those members past a certain era that means you need to have the pre 1700 yes certification I'll ask can you post a link for that for us real quick yeah yeah what would be pre 1700s for something in the 1600s and then yeah yeah yeah could possibly yeah could be 1500 so you just need to have a certification um and it's a self certification test actually was talking to one of the DNA project on team members this past week that they needed to get it and I just said it's really it's a self test and it's easy you just have to show that you have a knowledge of being able to work those earlier um questions so it's not a 10 week course no no it's not a lie if you don't have to go back to college but it's just that it gets a little trickier uh when you're when you're working that far back so um yeah it's a good question okay and azure's on it thanks as azure is working on getting that up I would be grabbing it but I only have one computer and I only have one screen and I'm jiggly there we go there it is jiggly I'm jiggly well we have uh one ancestor to celebrate today um from alexis nelson uh and this is her first cousin once removed uh hellen bellis and um she said that she has this uh we'll look at the profile too but um this is a 1925 newspaper clipping from her paternal grandmother's scrapbook and it's a wedding announcement uh hellen had an april birthday april 17th it was just this past week happy birthday hellen uh and she also passed away in april in 1985 uh hellen and her husband love to travel and visit relatives they often came to stay at my grandmother's house it was a rooming house so we did not lack company the thing that I clearly remember is how much my grandmother mother looked forward to and enjoyed their visits so um it's really really lovely profile let me go over there now um so there is hellen also my 17th cousin and yeah um I love this wallpaper so so delicate um so she was born in pennsylvania but the family made their way to west virginia in 1917 um her father was a prominent coal operator and banker and then she married as she went to college at goucher college uh taught at the local high school and then married lilin mason brooks uh who was a well known lumberman of alarka north carolina um so there's some I I have to I have to show here's the original clipping of her wedding announcement this was my favorites of all the photos those bows oh yeah I love that that's great I wonder what they were looking at brand I mean they just look like they they must have taken so long yeah so that's amazing yeah and there she is uh hellen and mason on their 40th anniversary and this this is also there she was the oldest child so there was a period where she was an only child and there she is more bows with her sister very nice so alexis thank you so much and as with our photos of the week we have one more week in April so please send us some ancestors to celebrate nice okay are we ready for okay let me just get things it's all set up here now okay so thank you for that betsey um now we're on to the profiles of the week and the question for this week was which foodie are you most closely connected to yes so if you weren't hungry before you might be hungry out by the time we get because we're going to be talking about lots of food lots of food um and I don't have any food any snacks here megs do you have any snacks left over from the connecta thons I have tons of snacks here but they're all too healthy um and betsey what's your month today oh it's it's uh a grouchy dolladuck on my side it's happy dolladuck oh happy because I get the coffee you get the coffee you get your mousse it's it's a mousse a christmas mousse month isn't that fun that's great well I don't I don't have my tartis coffee I'm just drinking out of a water bottle because I've had coffee for the last three or four mornings and surprisingly I'm not sleeping as well through the night because I'm a little jittery so I thought maybe I should take a day off or decaf decaf coffee I like the flavor of coffee I'm horrible me too but this is caffeinated can you tell can you tell can you tell uh anyways foodies so and the the reason we did foodies is because we just finished the wikikree challenge this week with melly alexander and the big reveal was done and is that reveal happened and she loved it it got posted on youtube so if you haven't had a chance to go watch the youtube reveal and how excited she was she was super excited about not only seeing all her connections and the cc7 connections but how they got populated on a map that was really intriguing for her she also liked this yes you know who this time is do you know do you know who this time is do the next challenges I do I'm in the middle of helping are you going to be in the talk at 12 is it at 12 that's the plan leanne kruger leanne kruger go ahead go ahead sorry leanne kruger a great wikitreer also works on a couple other projects from magsnike superperson and canadian too but anyways the past wikitree challenge is just finished melly alexander the dna chef so if you're finding more about her if as has not already beaten me to it there's the link of the the gdg post for melly and then as may add the link to the review oh there she did I knew she was going to so it was great and we found lots of lots of interesting ancestors lots of interesting stories for melly we got to meet her face to face last year at roots tech so that was exciting she's a lovely person so that was very neat so the as with all of the challenges this year they also take the theme and two of those profiles they they they match head to head and the and one of the challenges of the week that they invite people to do is to see which one are you closer to and so the two famous ones that they do the connection combat with is emerald legas or nigella loss now despite the fact that I really love food and you can only see the top part of me but if you saw the bottom part it sort of bulges out a little bit and so I'm not quite up here but I carry some more pounds than I should I like food and I've always liked food but surprisingly I don't know many of these people I guess I just don't follow the right celebrity chefs I just have good good cooking locally so I don't need to go out and find it watch is there a right celebrity chef or a wrong I didn't know that wrong celebrity chefs have no idea it's whomever your taste buds and whatever your taste buds I mean growing up my mom often had TV on in the background and the one that she liked to listen to because she thought he was funny and kind of ridiculous so she sometimes make fun of him was a chef called the galloping gourmet you remember that yes I wasn't sure if that was just a Canadian thing like Mr. Dress Up or if that was a you know more broadly known well it's sort of catchy a catchy it's a certainly catchy name galloping gourmet yes Julia Charles yes oh we saw that movie that there was a Julia and Julia Julia Julia that was an interesting movie there's a Netflix documentary on her now yeah yeah that's good so the two I didn't put together a spreadsheet this week so we're going to do something slightly different though so here's the first one emerald a legas but what I can do is I can put them side by each I think so let's go to let's make him half I want to make him half the page I think probably I should take so I didn't don't interrupt the flow oh yes now are you oh you have to take off yeah yeah because I have to get to school early today so right okay well we're going to miss you I'll get you in replay bye everyone see ya see ya okay so there's our two so I don't have a spreadsheet but we can still ask the people in the chat which one of these are you close most closely related to so you can see that I am actually seventh cousin look how close that is to emerald don't ask me if I am I'm scared to bring up anything else oh yeah okay then I won't but he's we're connected through an Akkadian ancestor and actually there's a bunch of and many more kibikwa and French Canadian and Akkadian so that's our connection I'm not a cousin to Nigella at all she's from Britain she's English I think in one check Finny can herd food Finny on the topic of food he's think oh maybe there's more food in the kitchen someone just got home aha yeah so seventh cousin that's one of the closest ones I've had in the in the profile section I'm usually not quite this close so that's kind of cool anyways he was born in the 50s both of these are rock stars are still alive son of emerald John Lagasse and Hilda Maderos so his father was French Canadian from Quebec and eventually go back for enough Akkadian and his mother Maderos was from Portugal and Hilda Maderos and so he grew up very Catholic he says which is funny he worked in a Portuguese bakery as a teenager where he discovered his talent for cooking and then he enrolled in a culinary art school he also was a musician he was a percussionist and that earned a scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music which would have been an interesting diversion but he chose to follow the dream of becoming a chef and so he did so he attended Johnson and Wales University in 1978 and which is cool is that same university gave him an honorary doctorate years later I think that's neat when they recognize their own in 1982 so he became an executive chef at various places and the nominated chef of the year in 83 in 82 he succeeded Paul Perdom who was an executive chef of Commander's Palace New Orleans so he's a very well known chef Paul Perdom he led the kitchen for seven and a half years and then he opened his own restaurant so he's got a place in New Orleans and most of his stuff is around the New Orleans area Louisiana a place called Emeralds and designated restaurant of the year Esquire Museum magazine wine spectator grand award so award-winning contributed several recipes to the International Space Station isn't that neat I thought that was kind of cool because taste gets a little boring out there and apparently the microgravity tends to deaden the flavors in space who knew so anyways he has a company in New Orleans they have five different restaurants and then at the end it talks about his marriages and what not so interesting guy and going head-to-head with Emerald is Nigella Lawson who is an English food writer and television cook a book reviewer restaurant critic her shows are Nigella Express and simply Nigella she also appeared as a judge on TV shows such as The Iron Chef and The Taste she met her first husband while they were both working for the Sunday Times unfortunately her first husband died in 2001 at the young age of 47 from cancer so that's sad and then we have some research notes here from a prominent and prosperous Jewish family also known as a television chef and journalist and there's lots of Wikipedia pages to her and she was also a who do you think you are a guest on that show as well and a link to that as well so what's the chat saying have they lots of people saying that they're related to both it looks like more are related to Lagos just based on my view of it and based on what I see the answers are so I think Emerald is the closest okay if you are that would be great but we don't know if it's for her or for the whole time for her or for everyone yes that's right so Victor is he correct in my pronunciation I would normally say they were discussing it and I don't think that we've come to a resolution for it even his first name I mean I'm saying Emeril but Emeril they're saying they think that he may have said it Emeril yeah I'm not sure I've always heard Emeril like an I sound to it I love that we have linguistics on Saturday morning well you know as I said before it's always important to get people's names pronounced their names right because that's so tied to your identity you know you the person and I agree Greg yeah anyways I agree Greg yeah thank you okay so moving on the next person the next profile is Maggie Ackerman and so we're gonna do something a little different because talking about food did you know we have a wiki tree cookbook we put together last year I think you all know because we asked for recipes here on this roundup and some of you responded we've got a bunch of recipes and let me just throw this in the chat though if I wait five seconds I know Azure would have anyways oh that's the side dishes I didn't meant to didn't mean to let's see let's do that without the side dishes which doesn't matter actually that'll just take you there there's the link to the wiki free space page which is sort of the landing place for the anniversary cookbook Azure worked long and hard putting this together it is a wonderful job but it was a lot of work but wiki treeers submitted recipes based on food that was passed down in their family or a family favorite and they attached ancestors to each of them so you can see it's broken down there's main dishes side dishes snacks and desserts my favorite part of every meal this dessert of course and this table of indices gravestone recipes that's interesting and then recipes that are named for people so all of those are aspects and when you go down you can see that they're actually all links to different pds so if you go to the which one of these is the one of these is the index no that's side dishes there we go I mean just there's the index so you can actually if you go to the index you can actually see how all the recipes are sorted by submitter so melly alexander our dna she submitted a recipe so I should definitely check out her new brunswick shrimp curry and then you could also go and they're sorted by ancestor so if you want to search by a certain ancestor you can find the recipes that way or there's by recipe name itself but also by birth decade or by birth place so there's lots of different ways you can you know slice and dice haha or search for recipes but I thought we would just sort of randomly pick a recipe attached to each person so now when I go to the birth places now Maggie is from australia I believe yes she's part of the australia project there were no recipes submitted specifically for australia so uh mags can you tell me from where's the list of all the recipes of all these recipes which one seems the most australian to you Greg the screen is so small that I really can't see that screen so I all of them all of them um lamb stew maybe no haha do we have any suggestions from mold and green salad I don't want no moldy salad okay do we have any suggestions from the chat of which of these recipes seems the most australian I like the peach cobbler one okay this kids this kids okay well let's just look at the peach cobbler one then we'll just go down to peach cobbler and uh so that would be in desserts I'm pretty sure banana salad John Piner says banana salad okay we're going for the desserts if you notice yes we're going for the dessert how would I just randomly pick oh I'm just gonna randomly pick drum shot you know I didn't have time to queue up a different and uh decorate the desserts or the the recipes to the people so we're just going to randomly go through the cookbook and just randomly pick places so we're just going to put drumstick treat here for submitted by wiki tree or Pat Branson so I'll let you enjoy that um enjoy that recipe while I tell you a little bit about our australian profile here Maggie Beer is one of australian's well-known cook author, restaurateur andpreneurs she was married in 1970 to someone whose name has been redacted a private living person and they owned a successful farm restaurant and then currently own a feed store restaurant and wine bar she established the Maggie Beer foundation to help older australians in their careers to promote, marry and enjoy healthy and tasty food I think that's a very worthy cause and she's testified about aged care nutrition before the royal commission into the aged care yeah um her entrepreneurial skills eventually turned to food manufacture and she's manufactured a whole pile of products and here's a list of them pates and pastes, broths and stocks and cheeses condiments, all sorts of things and also put in a lot of books so uh she's the cook and the chef, the great australian bakeoff she's and also a master chef of australia won lots of awards so well-known australian chef and there you have it uh moving on the next one is Mary, Mary Honnings from England so let's pick a english uh let's go back to our England uh let's say Christmas pudding let's see if we can find Christmas pudding in this it's still on the desserts man well you know let's embellish our pair hahahaha oh there's Christmas pudding okay well we'll move away from desserts after this but Christmas pudding isn't plum pudding in hard sauce uh raisins, currants, sultanas um ground beef, kidney suet put through a chopper doesn't that sound scrumptious the suet ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg almonds, molasses, plum syrup there's your plums sounds a bit like it sounds a bit like it okay so Mary Honnings is from from England from England Projects she's an English food writer, chef baker, television presenter daughter of uh Elaine Williams Stuart Berry and Marta Conway started at Le Corne en Bleu uh in France written many cookbooks including the Baking Bible wow you have to be pretty sure of yourself to call Baking Bible um in 2009 hosted several TV series uh and best known as a judge British Bake Off uh named Commander of the Order of the British Empire CD in 2012 for her services to culinary arts and Dane Commander in 2021 um and she was also featured on the UK version of Who Do You Think You Are sadly she did lose her son in a auto accident played to her in 89 there we go nice profile there uh moving on we have if if I was to answer that question I would yes you know put a hit out on you about the heart sorry oh the heart you can't answer that question can't answer that question Johannes Francisus uh brought KK I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that last name it's a Dutch last name and I'm not sure the KH and then the double K there kind of throws me for a loop I would think you'd say it brought KK KK brought KK come on Yoke Yoke is here Yoke help us out with the pronunciation of that last name Johannes Francisus I'm pretty sure that sounds right yeah that sounds good Yoke so he goes by Yoke Yoke brought KK that's so fun drinking wine when cooking the Galloping Gourmet did that too didn't he yeah I think so and so did Julia Child well I think all the best cooks probably do oh Yoke says just use the first names the first names are good the first names are good Yoke oh as in soap oh interesting I would guess that it is because it's not it comes from our family that that's where I go for our family oh yeah sorry in 41 in in the in the Netherlands and originally wanted to become an actor but decided to start a culinary career and then he left for Paris and Barcelona to get experience and then they came back got a Michelin star along with his top cook when he's opened up a restaurant so he presented a cooking program Cook Gek on Dutch TV for five years and wrote a series of cookbooks and his well-known TV personality featured another cooking program where he and another cook went in search for the best non-professional cook in the Netherlands that's kind of cool he celebrated his 50th anniversary in 2014 as a restaurant owner sadly he got pancreatic cancer and passed away in 2015 or passed away in 2016 yeah here we have it next profile is from Michael Chao or the name Jiu Yinghua something like that there you go he was born in 1939 his mother was Catholic and gave him the first name of Michael his father was one of the most famous opera stars in China which is interesting but during the cultural revolution and this is very sad during the cultural revolution his father was arrested and died in prison his mother was smart sent the children away to a boarding school in London so they'd be safe his mother was left behind and she was beaten and killed in a politically motivated attack so isn't that sad? it is sad that's very sad his sister became an actress and he followed and in the footsteps married Grace Coddington who became the creative director at large for Vogue magazine so that's kind of cool their marriage was short-lived they wanted to enter business and Chinese people had two options at that time very stereotypical either a laundromat or a restaurant he chose restaurant his restaurant became Mr. Chao became quite famous of course there's a lot of pressure in owning a restaurant that affected his first marriage he's been married since then and he's been a subject of a documentary film also known as Mr. Chao yeah so sad beginning but he did triumph in the end so let's just pick a random let's go into main dishes and I'm just going to randomly pick 17 oh we got a nice fan chart for this one tinfoil ham and cheese melts oh yes look at that and it's a quite simple one look at that you just open the buns in the butter butter the inside place ham and cheese in the bun wrap in tinfoil and bake at 350 degrees very cool there's a thing where you can put a sandwich into this little insert thing and stick it in your toaster too oh I know nice my kids use that all the time very cool hey Dr. Shelley sorry Anne Marie Rhee Drummond Naismith is an American blogger author, food writer and television personality she's wife of a ranching cowboy and the mother of four children the name Rhee that she goes by is of course just half of her half of her name Anne Marie and it comes from interesting she has a handicapped sibling and when that brother was unable to say her whole name Marie he just settled calling her Marie and then everyone else adopted that so that's kind of interesting heartwarming she calls herself the pioneer woman because she had she moved from being a city swick slicker to becoming the wife of a rancher and she married her cowboy in 1996 doesn't give them a name just calls them her cowboy and how did they meet that's what I want to know I don't know is it a green acres sort of thing I don't know she started blogging after her fourth child was born or was around after the fourth child was two or three years old in 2006 and 2007 and what's this blogging all about and so she went from there and then she added pictures to recipes and then has become famous ever since and then there's links to the blog and Food Network and other things where she's known as so very cool let's randomly pick another recipe from our list here let's go up to say chicken and dumplings Ancestor Bill Dill submitted by WikiTree Pam Freely a little fan chart there showing the connection and so I think the recipe must be well there's the recipe itself right there one whole chicken three to four chicken bouillon cubes two cans of Pillsbury flaky layer honey biscuits that sounds interesting biscuits two cans of cream cheese cream chicken soup some milk to rinse the cans out and then some spices that sounds kind of cool Paul Hollywood 26 cousin okay an English celebrity chef and television presenter best known as a judge on the Great British Bake Off born in Cheshire, England son of bakery proprietor John F. Hollywood he studied sculpture for a time and then began his baking career in his father's business he was a teenager served as head baker working at five star hotels in Cyprus of course found his fame as a judge on the BBC show Great British Bake Off and appearing began in 2010 and he's got other shows lots of stuff also was a guest on who do you think you are you know and his bibliography has a bunch of links there and so on so there we go have you heard of Paula it's funny I don't know why I haven't heard of many of these people have you seen Paul Hollywood before you know I I may have scanned past the Great British baking show occasionally they have scanned past them and I may have seen him on the okay okay let's pick one more main is Hollywood his real name sorry did I miss that yeah that's a good question his father's name is Hollywood I go to his tree app go to the fan chart let's just see what gets produced here Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood that's craziness back in Lancashire like it's not even California based it's before California California is even a thing that would be a fun name to chase down the entomology of now there's definitely a place in England called Hollywood with only one L right do you think it's related then is do you think I don't know and then there's Hollywood Hollywood yes maybe that's what I was thinking of yeah I don't know hmm that is interesting because of course I always things that make me go hmm things that make me go hmm okay also looking at the time makes me go hmm John Tyners says there's a Hollywood here in Ireland as well interesting like a place place place and he's heard of the guy oh good well presumably lots of people have heard of them just because my TV viewing and we don't watch a lot of reality TV at all or cooking shows things like that so despite the fact that I like eating we prefer fiction on TV how do we start calling it pairing we like to pair yeah that's right hmm Maddie Matheson is a Canadian chef a restaurateur actor and internet personality and now I do know this guy not as a chef I didn't realize he was an actual chef but I know him because we we just finished watching binge watching the show called The Bear have you watched The Bear it's very good so it's all about yeah it's all about the main character inherits a restaurant in Chicago from his brother and he has to sort of get it to revive it and there's a lot of drama that's very interesting but this character here there's a his IMDb page bigger picture of him there so that's a picture of him from the show he appears as sort of this handyman sort of friend of the family who's kind of goofy and often they rely on him to help them out when it comes to things like plumbing or whatever and sometimes he messes up and what not he's just an interesting character on the show but the cool thing is the show is all based around restaurants and he himself is a chef an actual chef not just an actor so that's kind of a neat twist yeah so let's see let's just randomly pick another recipe let's go into the side dishes and see what they look like I think I have side dishes open nope that's not I had side dishes open somewhere here there's side dishes and we're just gonna randomly pick from submitted by Margaret Summit cabbage salad there we go two eggs, some cream, salt and vinegar butter and a half head of cabbage pretty straightforward that sounds good yeah Martha Stewart now I have her ancestor tree opened here because Stewart of course is her married name because her actual birth name was Kostira her father and grandfather Joseph Kostira came from Austria Kukar from Poland she has Polish roots there lots of Polish and so that's interesting with the name like Martha Stewart I didn't expect that variety at all because of course you know unless you know the details about famous person you don't know their background especially if it's you don't know the details of Martha Stewart do you realize she's a convicted felon that I did know I know she went to prison that I knew yeah so American business woman intelligent personality she has a big you know a big brand and everything gardening, home studying, home making doesn't say anything about going prison in her biography here though I like that she is out of the box like she is really good friends with the rapper oh my gosh and I'm completely blank she like has a blog or a video cast with him Snoop Dog Snoop Dog yes she's out of the box she is not in a box that's one thing for sure that's hilarious wow that's neat well good for her good for her oh good for her good for her let's switch to cavatelli oh and that recipe is so large it takes two pages this looks good submitted by Isabel Caruso oh nice pasta look at that oh it takes some semolina green hot water some olive oil little salt mixed together on the board there and then you add some sauce to it look at that that looks tasty doesn't it yeah okay moving on we just have two more left Danny Trejo okay as a very short bio he's an American actor and I really just that seems he was the result of an extra marital you want to start your wikichu profile with that um uh I don't think he started it with that no he wouldn't have started it but I don't know I would try and be a little I don't know a little more gentle um but anyways uh this gives no hint as to why he's in this category but if we go back to the front page here uh apparently he's owns trejo's tacos and trejo's cantina so but he's a famous um celebrity and actor you recognize him for lots of things um I think old country for no men he was in we opened up his imdb you'll see there's he's done lots of stuff and then the last Molly yay I'm not sure yeah is it yay or yeah yeah I I mean I've heard it yay okay but I've never heard her say it but you've heard other people talk about her okay um from the magnolia network host of girl meets farm she's a food blogger my name is yay cook book author and
