It's kind of funny Sarah when you She likes it So Yeah, I guess we can just go ahead and unless anybody has some updates we can go into our question of The week what is our question of the week question of the week? Let me do some screen sharing here because I am I'm so Oh Ready for this. I'm gonna say I'm gonna zoom out. There we go Share my screen There we go There we go Question of the week Is has researching your genealogy changed your view of yourself interesting questions Interesting interesting question Somebody just shouted ads wiki dollars pay for ads. How about that? There you go Has wiki tree has genealogy has your family researched Change your view of you personally and of course The first question is because it's the last question a last person to answer was my question And I've come to see my family history as And my family as as a book I can't put down because it's a page turner Okay, plus shade answer there, but there were lots and lots of great Answers. I need to go back to the very first page of this So that I've got my notes in cahoots with everything else. There we go. Um Shalya Smith has a great Answer and she has a great write-up so if you really want to read in depth some of these answers go and check them out on our Facebook page on the gdg post and this week I posted it to mydnydna.org Facebook group I had some answers in there. So we're gonna be visiting mydnydna.org site and Here I didn't share it but somebody else actually shared it which I thought was fun So yes, it's really changed my view She says that she lived in existence in western Canada where she was in a community where everybody had connections and family and To this town and to the area and to the local history and she did not it made her feel isolated But after doing her family history and finding out her world view She has a sense of belonging which is great Alexis Nelson has a really cool short answer usually Alexis gives us a Wonderful novels in her answers. I mean that you literally a book you can't put down Alexis was short and sweet this week and it all has to do with Her self-esteem that doing her family research and her family history has really helped with her self-esteem Given her self-esteem. That's a cool short answer from Alexis Nelson this week Janine Isleman. Hey Janine. I know you're there Um She I'm gonna she grew up in San Diego parent a father was born in West Virginia raised in Ohio ancestors migrated Ohio to Pennsylvania Um, as I have been finding new information. I have been doing digging deeper I've been amazed at how my ancestors went through and lived through difficult times. Yes It did change of view of myself I found out how my ancestors had lived and survived and that seems to be the theme That runs through a lot of these answers and I'll touch on them But the fact the sense that we are who we are today because our ancestors Lived and survived so much and there are some very poignant Tales and stories about that in some of these answers and I loved I loved that Janine's one of Janine's answers what I also found my identity as a human in the mitochondrial haplo tree, which is K1 a 1b1 Which when her daughter did a 23 and me DNA test it gives a very high-level haplogroup So Janine now knows her haplogroup. That's fun And she also said in finding wiki tree and finding out even more about family history has been an adventure I've found cousins which I think meeting new relatives and finding out more about the family connections Can change your perception about how you think about yourself, which I did was great Beater Lawrence. Yes, I definitely did He realizes that he is a small cog and a long story and how He became who he was because of the struggles and the fights that he his family did in the past To be where he was today Christina Miller she became proud She she she discovered her family history and it made her proud of who she was and Before she discovered the family history. She really wasn't she didn't know that she needed to be proud of who she was so that's a Journey of discovery Ben Malzworth, it's humbling to see so many stories of my own ancestors Who've lived full lives before my time and yet had no idea that I was going to be in their future so having a sense that That he is the future of of not only his family but his social economic system of being a part of moving forward and He said the problem is is the number of people today fighting viciously Against each other and us as to having a future. I thought it was a really good answer Ben And how did I summarize it? Can we add a no idea that he was the future and that your own important tasks are are important And will be important for future Let's see Ronnie Grindel Education he had roots everywhere and so not so centric Sure enough. I learned from reading the census that my grandfather only had four years of education My father went all the way through high school And I'm the first of my family to have a university degree and Finding out that his ancestry is just all over the place Moving on down to Pip Pip the Pipmeister. He's not here today. I know he'll he's gonna watch it later. So hi How would ancestors handled our world today? He's thinking about that my people who lies and decisions affect me every day It's kind of his sense of knowing that he is is that but it's also interesting that he said I've always been a student of history Thanks grandpa. So what my research has done is to root me in events and movements of things past When I read history now, I keep my ancestors in mind what they have been involved. How would this event Movement have affected them I have become particularly keen on how economics would have dictated the work social life and in migrations I see myself as someone whose life has been impacted by the by things so long ago These connect me to them so that they are not just people who lived long ago But my people whose lives and decisions affect me even today. That was a good answer well written there pep Virginia Fields She she's realized how fortunate she is sometimes we don't realize how fortunate we are Let's see Teresa Langford had a really really good I wanted to stand up and wave my American flag for this one. Yes my American flag Definitely has opened so many Reasons why I have persisted in hard times in my life I see a pattern of strong-willed women and fighters to keep going regardless of the circumstances around me Teresa Langford and she very very proudly in all caps shouts United States Air Force Vietnam era veteran you go girls. Does anybody else got chills? I've got chills I got goosebumps My parents taught me that I'm half Norwegian quarter German a quarter Scottish add a little salt a little pepper cook you up and That's your recipe But Carla She didn't realize the depth of her existence. She had just heard the top She had just gotten the the the top of the milk. She had not gotten down into the milk So now she knows that she's got a deeper existence based on her ancestries and she thought Melody pole I agree with this answer so much It has this is something that that I find myself thinking about often is It's affected by sense of time long ago doesn't seem that far in the past when it's only a few generations Let that one soak in I often Think about how I didn't know I didn't know How far away things were or how far away things happened until I started doing genealogy and realizing how close My great-great grandparents didn't live Long ago. They didn't they're pretty close. So yeah, that was that was interesting and ld price answered that I thought that also I have a photo of my great-grandmother holding my mother as a baby and my grandmother standing in her side This is 1843 his grandmother So that's over a century of living in one photo suddenly 200 years is not so long ago. So That that would be my best answer Right now this second and best answer to an answer Oh, let's see Enoch talked about Oh talked about how well off studying your ancestors and finding out their struggles And then really realizing how well off you are in in the grand sense of things um And lg price talked about how she realizes that the education is an important thing and how much more educated That the newer generation is Eric Weddington says we all should realize What he has realized is that we get a a gift of choice And that is to live our lives the way we want to in in the past Maybe you didn't have that gift So that's a good answer. Eric, uh mark weinheiner Uh find myself at the extent a mutual connections my view of family is so much broader than it was Carl No gale, I can't even read my own writing Um Gale not talked about her rootedness how rooted she is now Charlene had a nice long answer here she changed her view on family childhood And how uh how our childhood All of our childhoods all of my ancestors childhoods how they were raised how it affects how they interact with other people if you're in a situation where you are not Raised in a loving situation. Sometimes you don't Present that to your family. So that's something hard and it's also hard to realize that That there's something that may have affected somebody in your family that doesn't seem as close as they could be Get them into genealogy. They'll have self-esteem and anyway, they'll feel proud um Let's see And then I think the best one On this page Oh instead of seeing my names on a family tree. I've come to experience many of our ancestors lives. So again feeling Feeling the ability to live what your ancestors have lived has engrossed her life and made it better Um in jayce colman I grew up thinking of myself as italian as I knew virtually nothing about my father's non-italian side of the family When I started researching them, uh, I thought it would be a short dead end that a local genealogy So provided me with a family book with a long lineage in which my birth was recorded instant family history Uh, so she's become blessed and and blessed to know how good her life was considering 19th century sicily and its tale of dead babies. I admire my ancestors and keeping them close And realizing that they survived despite repeated heartbreak and poverty and then I've come to see my family as a Book I can't put down a page turner so uh question of the week we had also Answers that popped up in our wiki tree group who? go away jim Oh go away a oan a oan stop advertising in the middle of our show So, um We had some good answers janine Did her answer again? I'm sorry about the notifications. I don't know why they're jumping up. They don't normally do that It's popular Yeah, I feel more like I belong because I have a better understanding of the forces that brought me here That's a good answer justin uh deb Jackson Denani Denani, that's a great name It it was had made my walk on this earth more conscious thoughtful and grateful Uh, susanne pressed in blire blire says yes, it gave me strength Lisa calcy buck master. Yes makes me feel like I've changed. I have a cheer squad of my grandparents looking down on her That's so cool Leslie sheer moonos When I was very little girl, there were three Ethnic costumes for halloween that I was attracted to dutch and I know I was part dutch Scandinavian But I did not find that out until it was did my genealogy And gypsy and then I discovered I was a traveler. That's fun Jim ruff. I believe a lot more of our nature is due to genetics and we believe so he's learned a lot through his genetic testing uh people who found their their What they were Um, and then steven fleckenstein. This is fun. I think my pocker spaniel spaniel has purer bloodlines than I do Oh, let's see, uh, and june stern says Yeah, I feel more rooted deep roots in many branches Melanie paul's we had her question in the others. Let's see I Appreciate my relative wealth once wealth more once I found out how poor most of my ancestors were um, I Now appreciate my wealth and I need if you I eric give me a call Because I could take 10 bucks to get a blueberry pie, please And believe it or not somebody else posted My post on uh, minowai dna limited site. How about that? um Sorry about the notification still Pauline no, but it got me interested in the social history of my family I'd I'd rather have 50 people in my tree that I know Than about 1 000 who are only statistics And then a lot of people are tree gatherers that all they do is they want to just build out this tree And they really don't want to research it and find out about it And I would love to take them aside and spend a weekend with them and say hey, let's let's do some research Uh, yes, my parents lived in california their families lived in oklahoma in wisconsin as as a child I felt unstuck interesting Many of the people who lived in our town were refugees from the dust bowl and depression states Whole families with grandparents and cousins and aunties and uncle stayed in the county after saying the shasta dam was finished As an adult I was able to make contact with both sides of my family and collect photos and stories And I imagine she feels a lot less stuck and james evan says yes I used to be one eight cherokee and a mayflower descendant upon further review neither is true at least yet And that was the question of the week another one down and Yeah, what I kind of have an answer for that too. So Do my own do my own genealogy maybe think about how Like what the chances Of the you know our ancestors meeting each other and having children Like I know a lot of my ancestors just happened to meet when they were in the same city like Or you know or they just didn't end up moving or they did move or Just all these things that just ended up working out and then here we are today here we are It's like all of those coincidences happen to be to make it That's what I think about a lot. I was like if this one thing didn't happen then You know, it's crazy. So He is so jealous when you start talking to people. Yeah Kiki come on get together okay, so Now I guess well, I think we have really good Profiles of the week this week. I know you guys were already talking about them earlier before we went live Famous first By meds Just be me and you guys for current for right now Okay, so famous first And while I'm talking you guys can see tell me tell us who you're most closely connected to So our main Featured connection is Matthew whip the first person to swim the English Channel I think we have a lot of good ones today. I'm really excited to talk about them. So he was born in 1848 in England and died in Niagara Falls in 1883 And obviously Sorry, but Kiki's being ridiculous today the first person to swim the English Channel unaided I guess there was other people who swam the English Channel, but they were aided. He was the first one unaided I guess I I don't know if anybody knows about anybody else who swam the English Channel for them, but who were aided um Apparently he taught himself how to swim in the strong currents of the river sovern at Colbrookdale and he saved his brother Henry from drowning And he was had a reputation for being fearless Very cool. Well, look he has a uh Niagara Falls he has a historic panel in there Super cool Okay, next This is who I'm most closely connected to Amelia Earhart. I'm 18 degrees away from her So she was born in 1897 And she was the first woman to make the solo transatlantic flight but she Um, so her death date is uncertain because she went missing and still nobody really knows Where she's where she was There's been some speculations and conspiracy theories, but um Yeah, so the first woman to do the transatlantic flight Amelia Earhart is one of the most endearing and long-standing mysteries Ever and there's lots of studies going on. She was trying to fly around the world yet with another gentleman who was her navigator and They dropped off the face of the earth like within reach of their next fueling stop in the pacific Yeah, so it says here They radio when they were running out of gas and couldn't hear the transmissions and that was it And supposedly a kid in somewhere Actually did hear their last transmissions Uh, a kid was on a ham radio or something and picked up the last the actual last transmissions And because of that transmission they think that there was an issue with fred nolan Was that his name? I forgot what But um, yeah fred noon in noon and there was some issue with him Maybe not um having hurt himself having been um injured in some way Yeah, apparently there was a um One of the theories which maybe she was a prisoner of war just before the world war two are breaking japan But nothing's really been proven. So this mystery of what happened to her Yeah, but she was she taught a lot of she taught a lot of women how to fly And she was one of the founders of the 99s an a an aviation organization for women So she also taught a lot of women how to stand Yeah, just just to be themselves And next I think this guy obviously liked to be cold. Um raldo Amundsten was the first person to visit both The north and south pole Um kind of crazy everyone wanted to do that's way too cold um He was an origen explorer. He led the an arctic expedition of 1910 through 1912 The first expedition to reach the south pole and he was and then obviously the first person to reach both So Very cool apparently he Died at sea in the barren sea That was plain disappeared He was He was participating in a rescue mission when his plane disappeared So another one lost at sea Did they find him He doesn't anybody know if he's he was found Look into that. Let me know guys. The biography doesn't say when he was when he died It's it has it doesn't have an about date like Amelia Earhart says june 18th 1928 So maybe he was found But i'm not sure the barren seas is the north so i'm assuming they think he died there So the next one is we have Clara borrell the first woman to be editor of the boston review Born in 1829 in washington dc Dying 1947 in manhattan She was also the first african-american woman in the united states to be elected editor-in-chief of any law review journal And also was the first african-american woman lawyer whose son also studied law So very cool She she had a few she had a few firsts Not just the boston Law review Let's see next we have Who you guys were talking about Leif erickson first european to land in north america Oh, he's way He was the original columbus Except leaf didn't kill half the continent all thoughts So i don't know how to pronounce anything here about where he was born, but he was born 975 And died in 1020 And i guess it has to be do with scandinavia. So There you go, so Leif and his crew sailed from norway to greenland in the year 999 999 They were blown off course and sited land west of greenland leaf purchased a ship gathered a crew amounted an expedition to this land They arrived and wintered in this new land possibly newfoundland and returned to greenland the next spring On the return of the voyage. She rescued in this ice land a castaway and his crew earning him the nickname leaf the lucky You're 40 degrees from him Yeah, I mean he's way far Can next we have the first female Hold on something just happened first female prime british prime minister margaret thatcher point the iron lady born in 1925 in Lincoln shire and died in 2013 in in london So and she was also the longest serving Um prime minister for over 150 years you're 26 from her Oh So she was nicknamed the iron lady Margaret thatcher won three successive general elections and served as the prime minister of england from 1979 to 1990 One of her staunchest allies was u.s president ronald rayon a fellow conservative cool cool Okay, next on our list. We have alexander david neal the first european woman to visit to bay Did I tell her right to bay? Bay, yeah, okay So she was born in 1868 in france and also died in 1969. So she died in 99 No 100 We're doing that math, right? I think so Oh Yeah, she was she lived to the age of 100 She was a french explorer author opera singer and early french convert to buddhism Because she visited to bed. Yeah That's cool still So should she the question is it probably says in the biography does she visit to bay before or after she converted to buddhism Like if she go to bay because she converted to buddhism or vice versa Um It doesn't really doesn't look like it says in the biography, but something for you guys to look up as to why What happened first Hey next We have This is an interesting one herald's clark first person to deliver mail between hawaiian islands interesting You're 21 degrees from him so he was born 1890 in minnesota and died in 1919 in the panama canal zone He oh, yeah, and he's in a sea plane crash in panama. So he was a pioneer aviator and he was um in his career in aviation being commissioned as second lieutenant in the first cavalry division in 1913 and stuff about the hawaiian so Clark delivered the letters received enormous welcome from islands residents and was the first airman to fly the mail In the hawaiian islands upon his return to the united states He served at various airfields before being pronounced major and executive officer of the aviation section in panama Very cool Oh here. We have we have another classic first. I feel like he's been We always have the armstrong. We at least do feature on him once a year Because you know first man on the moon neil armstrong 1930 born 1930 and died in 2012 and since netty ohio first man on the moon july 29 1969 Apparently at age 10 he started working at a local cemetery cutting grass to earn money for a model airplane. Oh, he was started young And by 14 he was working three jobs at 40 cents an hour to save up for flying lessons here into its pilot license at 15 and yeah Then the famous quote that's one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind I went to nasa a whole bunch of times as a kid Which I I kind of wanted to go into the space for a while. I wanted to be an astronaut My mom couldn't attest that I didn't want it to be an astronaut aren't Joe's arm strong is through my well For her it's probably through her mom because that's probably the closest link on her side But I probably still closer through my dad's side But i'm not sure what does it say? Uh, you are let's see Neil are strong You are connected to him through the connection finder through your Mama really through my mom cool Your great-grandmother your great-grandfather Charles cleaver all the way with the cleaver side to pots to um magdalene Robson Okay Cool. It is actually through my closest to my mom. It doesn't happen often. So that's exciting So the next Next one is another cool one. They've all been really cool. I say sir Edmond Hiller the first person to reach the top of Mount Everest Look at his background is a little penguin. That's kind of cute Born in 1919 in New Zealand died in 2008 He was a mountaineer explorer and philanthropist. Whoa, I almost had that word philanthropist and he was an author of several books And um in 14 wow in 1943 he joined the air force and trained to be a navigator Uh, he climbed his first mountain in 1939 which was Mount Oliver in the southern Alps And he was a lover of adventure stories. I look at this cute little Little photo of him and his wife and his son What is Oh Is that I don't know The coat of arms of Sir Edmond hillary cool with penguins. How fitting and uh What is that bird at the top a kiwi? There we go. Yes Nothing venture nothing win I feel like if I had a coat of arms, that's what it would look it would have penguins on it Nothing hurt your bird. They ventured nothing gain. That's uh, is this a joke? Really Wait what I don't know. It just seems kind of satirical with coat of arms I'm not sure Okay, we have one more Bert Hinckler First person to fly solo from England to Australia and you're 29 In the connection finders to him So he was born in 1892 in Australia and died in 1933 in Italy Um Let's see Flight captured his imagination from an early age and by 1912 he had successfully launched his own glider Um Was he he enlisted in the Royal Naval Air Service for World War I Following the war following the war Hinckler became a test pilot and took part in air racing competitions Whoo quickly becoming one of the world's best-known and accomplished pioneer aviators and Apparently he did his solo flight from England to Australia 1928 And after that he donated the avial avian to the Queen's little government ensuring its preservation So the plane he used um And his last flight was on january 7th 1933 Oh, we another one so The flight he was going to fly to australia and they didn't locate him on In april the wreckage of his aircraft was discovered In italy. So that's why he died in italy because The position of Hinckler's body indicated that he survived the crash He was buried with full military honors in Florence on the 1st of may 1933 On the orders of Mussolini himself Very cool. So those are our profiles of the week guys Profiles a good bunch Yeah Oh, yeah, my mom said that I have llamas on my uh, yes on my that's true. I would have llamas Close tie llamas and penguins. Okay So next we are doing the probably my favorite Feature of the live cast usually really The photos the photos really Why what else would be my favorite? They're usually animals involved I can see pictures of animals And we did get lost in the one Profile that had the penguins and the kiwi. Is that you see? Okay Hinckler makes sense. Benjamin's closest because he was from australia, right? It does. Yep. Okay So the theme of the week for photos is independent So I could see this one being you know, she's raising these kids on her own Being independent home and the kids Oh, look look there's an animal already. Look we're starting off strong guys It's a kitty. They didn't have a kitty in the movie with the twins in it. The shining Oh Want to play a game maybe maybe after Maybe after the movie then they got a cat. So they're raising this cat on their own as independent little girls How cute Alvin Porter long probably independent young man Oh, there's an Aussie Look Jeanine She got bladed. She uploaded this one. It's not an Aussie So this is a picture of Clarence James Isleman and oh my gosh How did I miss that? It's canadian a canadian uniform You're fired and his canadian forces uniform He joined the canadian armed forces and fought in war war two when he came back from the war He died shortly afterwards leave behind a wife son A wife and a son, but the wife vera kept in contact with the brothers John and they married and had several children I think he was independent as he wanted to defend his country even though he joined the canadian forces Not sure why he joined the canadian forces and not the u.s. I have heard different accounts Huh Oh Oh It's a it's a t-rex skull It's an animal skeleton close enough A t-rex The photo of me as a child taken by my father. It is one of my favorite childhood images I was so captivated by the dinosaur exhibit at the national History museum in new york that I stood for quite a while in front of the head of the tyrannosaurus in the glass case It was enough enough time for dad to take the picture his black and white photos of that decade were good So she was independently watching Isn't a t-rex considered a reptile? Uh people think they're closer to birds than uh So it's an avian Oh look first day of school how independent is in florida How independent is that? How I like that one He's just chilling on a cactus That's a borough. Yeah, and as his posture says everything about independence independence Hey, this has to do with some kind of parade for independence That's what i'm guessing Only if I could read Let me google it. We're gonna google it real quick guys only if deter was here. He could tell us translation in english Birdwatching and reading that doesn't sound right. That does not sound right But that's what I that's what I said before that's what I think it is if anybody wants to fact check me But I don't think it's about birdwatching and reading Okay Tom Carl Lawson Cape Canaveral The nasa he was at nasa At least i'm thinking that so Richard Campbell the next page Got five more left. This looks like an independent guy Charles Totenham Or Totenham Tottenham in his boots Do you see what's in the picture with him a doggie? I know I get more excited for actual Me gelane. We'll take you late. We don't want you Woken up the photos right now of independent people I like her coat in her hat I'd wear that maybe not the hat, but I'd wear the coat that was cold enough Independent office John Hoskinson working on newspaper forms In kansas, we're not in kansas anymore Hope everybody got that joke Oh, man, that's a I wish it was I wish it wasn't a photo of a photo This is a cool photo. Yep Tiki stop it. I like that one a lot actually good to find down Let's find Cindy and have her scan it Or yeah, take a picture head on mm-hmm That's very independent, you know I don't know. They look like they're they're she's leaning on her. I don't know. Yeah I don't know just them dressed they're dressed up as men and they're holding guns and With like cable. I don't know. I like it. This is how far behind the feed is Your uh, not in kansas anymore comment. Oh, so many finally commented on it No, there's no todo why And then I guess Kimberly uploaded a photo of herself being independent Showing my true colors being silly and I think that was the last one. Yep And those were the photos of the week guys And our profiles there aren't any in g2g. There's none anywhere else. Oh, let's see. Let's go Good thing mags is here to make to make sure I don't forget things Oh, this is a photo good. We get to get the story So though she was a tiny woman never reaching under pounds during her adult life She started a school lunch program for the children the schools where she lived in central california valley during war war two She drove an ambulance for the wounded who were returned From overseas she often traveled alone and she continued to drive around san francisco bay area in her late 80s She was always busy accomplished something whether it Be picking and canning fruit making quilts or sewing doll clothes for her granddaughters or a myriad of other things she could find to do Very cool. That is very cool. Okay. This one has a story Great-grandfather Alvin poor long alvin's father was married two days before alvin's 12th birthday with his father's death Alvin's mother was just two and moved in with his grandparents This is likely why alvin became so independent and had the courage to leave missouri and make the oklahoma land run at 1893 totally alone nice Nice Well as we spread this story already But the canadian got the well not canadian but joined the canadian our forces And we read about this one Well the first day of school a huge milestone on the road to being independent Oh, and then for the car enthusiasts. I don't know what the car is in the background, but the fender near me Is a 1954 forward Oh the kitty kitty Oh, they so these are my great aunts cella and vera robinson who immigrated to new zealand in 1907 age 12 and 10 to join their older brothers. So were they by themselves? Apparently traveled alone. Oh That's a long uh long boat Yeah, so after attending school in south atom she'd sailed to new zealand again In 1913 this time apparently traveling alone Because they were meeting up with their older brothers And so they went there So this is bill mclean standing in front of a really big Seguro cactus near tussan. I don't have any information about when this photo was taken um This photo is Of him is unique and it appears to have a month. He appears to have a mustache I guess he had some doesn't have mustaches in other photos Bill was certainly the most independent member of his family and one of the more independent people among my extended family and Ancestors that I know about He never married and didn't ever really settle anywhere Anywhere he seems to have spent much of his life in wyoming worked on the bureau of reclamation projects But this is based on just two data points 18 years apart Very cool. Oh look here look um So this photo taken in 1962 it held every five years. It shows a group of independent craftsmen. So maybe it was about What I said um Craftsman marching with the fan through the village of that place as part of a large procession the motto that craftsman was God bless the crafts This motto was so important for many independent craftsmen because their profession was acutely threatened by the upcoming industrial production This was especially the case for shoemakers tailors and other manufacturing trades so I guess Bert well, maybe it's still not bird watching and reading but kind of Not anywhere near No, well it kind of I guess is closer than you know, I thought it was like an independence parade kind of thing, you know It's about craftsmanship. I don't know Has nothing to do with bird watching and reading Oh, he's look he's apparently been a cruise ship from Cape Canaveral Oh, Richard Campbell worked the coal mines of Scotland and was injured for a short time during the accident Reluctant to join the clan army in 1868. He set sail for america Where he started a family and he made his way to iowak in a covered wagon. Oh, he did In a I don't know. Whenever I think of a covered wagon. I think about that game the organ trail I don't know With his wife children mother worked in the coal mines for a while and then dug his own and became a preacher cool, um, so This guy Oh, we didn't see this one James Lacey was born in Ireland in 1828 and he lived near a castle town Dublin Until 1856 like so many other irish he left during famine and made his way for the united states We know he left his immediate family, but it's not clear if he traveled with any extended family or friends And apparently he raised a family of 12 children with his wife Catherine so So yeah, I guess that was right about this one. Um, so she Oma lived the age of 100, but apparently her husband died at the young age of 38 And she became a single mother of the three kids Um Newspaper man. Yeah Oh interesting We didn't see this one No Independent thinker What an odd painting. Yeah Maybe it maybe the picture was skewed again Taking a picture of a picture Mm-hmm See if there's anything. Oh, we didn't see this one Look at him with this Is he also holding a cigarette? I think that's what it looks like Robert Young was a son of the american revolution and his ancestors fought in the war of independence And that was it let's go back up for a sec For which one that one I guess we're gonna see if there's a face in the window.
