 Hi guys. How's everyone doing? Good morning. I'm by myself today. Mindy and Mags could not make it. So it'll be a short and sweet one this morning. See, we have Lynette here. We have my mom who was the mother of the wiki tree apparently. Kathy, Chris, Janine, Thomas, Benjamin, Tommy, maybe I already said that. Betsy and Greg. Did I get everybody? Hello, Linda. Hello, Hilary. Yes, I'm holding down the fort today. So like I said, it'll probably be... Oh look, we have somebody. Hello, Mary from Chicago who's watching on Twitter periscope. We just started streaming on Twitter periscope. So thanks for watching. And congratulations, Kathy, on your granddaughter. Oh, Greg, is that going to be your first grandchild? Okay, so we'll probably do the profiles of the week and we'll do the photos and we'll probably dip out unless anybody has questions or have any requests. That's probably what I'll be doing today. That is new because we noticed that we could stream to Twitter, so might as well, right? Okay, I guess we could just jump right on in unless anybody has anything to say. Well, I guess we'll go... So we'll do the question of the week really quick because it ties into our profiles of the week. And our question of the week this week was, do you have any Indigenous people in your tree? Any of you watching have any Indigenous people in your tree? So we'll go look and see what people have to say. Apparently, some Native Hawaiian, Montuck, Algonquin Indian tribe from northeast. And I saw also, there was a conversation of like, what do they mean by Indigenous and it could be Indigenous to North America or Australia or any thing that was Indigenous to any country really. So only Indigenous to Britain, Benjamin. Hello, Willa Dean. Hello, Patricia. I'm trying to see if anybody... Let's see a lot of Native American Indigenous. Trying to see if anybody put in maybe Indigenous to Australia or anything else. No, probably not. Mostly we have here as people having Indigenous background in Native America. So now we'll look at our Indigenous people before our profiles of the week and our main connection feature. And please put in the chat who you're most closely connected to and this should be interesting since they're all see how close you are to Indigenous person. Kathy says, your husband's from Mexico. Well, I guess it depends if he... Is he from Indigenous Mexican, you know, from the Mexican area or is his family from Spain? I don't know. Well, Tommy says he only has squirrels in his tree. Well, Victoria, you have Mohican, your second great-grandmother, if I said that correct. Yeah, so apparently okay. So, Sacajawea, 1788. And we all are probably familiar with her for the most part. She was part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. And I'll probably butcher a lot of these people's names. So I apologize in advance. So she was part of the Acadia tribe kidnapped around the age 12 by the... Man, this is gonna be... That's a group. And she was given her soul to the Charbonneux and famous US history. And then she went on the journey with William Clark and Mary Wether Lewis, where they traveled about the States. Next we have Beringu Camarillo from, I guess, New South Wales. Indigenous of that area. Oh, Indigenous Australian. Like I said, I didn't realize, but I guess then moved to New South Wales on Sydney. So born around the Sydney area. Scarcity cells of her life prior to colonization. Met Governor Philip on a boat on February 3rd, 1790 at Rose Bay. And described as one of the most powerful figures in Sydney's early history. That's pretty cool. So, see we have an Indigenous Australian. Let's see who's next. Also, let's see what all you guys are saying in the chat. So next we have Angel Decora from the native to Nebraska. Was born in Nebraska in 1871. She was a Ho Chuk. I think I said that correctly. So it says here, Dis customary for clansmen to give a person her name. So a relative opened the Bible at random place and the word angel was found. So that's how she was named. So that's pretty cool. Her Ho, her Ho Chuk name was Henuk Mehewe Kilanaka, which translated to fleecy cloud floating in place. That's such a nice, that's such a, such a nice name. Or women coming on the clouds in glory. So let's see. I didn't really read these through beforehand. So please forgive me. Like I said, it was going to be a quick one today since I'm by myself. Ooh, I've seen, I've read about her before. Next one is Emma Kalaliwani, Queen Emma of Hawaii. I feel like we've talked about her before in a previous, I think on one of the royal ones. So she was Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1854 to 1863. And I know there was, when they so in 1861 the King Queen invited the Church of England to begin a missionary in Hawaii, but Queen Victoria went a step further and declared Hawaii its own historic. The relationship with Queen Victoria was a good one. So much that Victoria was named Godmother of Emma's son, Prince Albert Edward, the duration of her life, Queen Emma pursued issues that she and King Alexander both held dear, including healthcare of her people and education of young Hawaiian women. She was, she helped Hawaii a lot. So then next we have Dame Hopin Cooper, born in 1895. She was a Maori leader in New Zealand, often referred to as the mother of the nation. Worked many years for the rights of her people, in particular to improve the lots of Maori women. So we had an Australian and a New Zealand. Let's see, you guys were saying who you're closest to. So Chris, you say you're 15 degrees from Sacajawea. That's cool. Let's see, as close as this one, 21 degrees. We have Jelaine. Hi, Jelaine. By myself today. Thank you all for just going with me. And we'll see who I'm most closely connected to, unless somebody wants to look it up. Mags usually does it for me. Well, look, Sadie Miriam Canning, born in 1930 in Australia, then 2008 in Australia. She was a Wengkatha woman and an activist who became Australia's first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurse and later matron. So very cool. I'm waiting to see if there's anything I can let you guys know about her. So it says Aboriginal people were not included in the mining economy and were marginalized in society, legislation that sought to retain British Charter. So yeah, nursing career and activism. She went to Melbourne, Victoria at 19, where she undertook her nursing training, and she worked to improve educational opportunities for young Aboriginals. And she met another activist, Ken Kolbong. She was also a Justice of the Peace. A lot of them have really good biographies, so please, everyone, go read them in more depth, and you can learn something new. So next we have Dr. Doreen Maud Wanganine, born in 1935 in Australia. She was another activist and historian. Apparently two of her great-grandfathers were white. She grew up in Reckon with two brothers and five sisters. And oh look, she during commenced formal genealogical studies in 1981. She studied genealogy just like us guys. Well, her biography is very long, and it's on 1995. Doreen was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of South Australia in her recognition of her genealogical work in 2002. Doreen was awarded the Prime Minister's Scenario Medal when she died on December 3rd, 2007. So Hillary's closest to Sadie, and my mom said the Doreen. Oh, Doreen. So maybe this one's my club. No, because since usually I'm connected through everybody through my dad's side. Oh, Thomas says I'm 20 degrees from both Maria and Louis. Louis. And then Thomas keeps writing weird. Why are you writing Klingon, Thomas? Why? Why? Already have a hard time pronouncing things. Okay, who's next? One of my close ones, Louise, Louis, born in 1844. I'm not really sure what St. Boniface Red River Settlement in Rupert's land. So maybe Canada. I assume that's Canada. So he was the founder of Manitoba and a central figure in the Red River and Northwest Resistances. We had two resistant conflicts with the Canadian government, the Red River Rebellion of 1869 to 1870, and the Northwest Rebellion of 1885. Apparently he got a scholarship to Montreal for the study of priesthood. Let's see. Apparently he was, he had a warrant for his arrest in 1873 for the murder of Thomas Scott. Apparently he turned himself over in May 15, 1885. He was put on trial and found guilty of treason despite the jury's request for mercy. He was hanged on November 16, 1885. Oh my. And he's one of my closest ones. I have three more guys. Next we have Mateo Carino from the Philippines born in 1854. He was a Ibalio chieftain and he owned large tracts of land which would be later known as the Begui as early as the Spanish colonial period. Titles of the land were given to him by the Spanish colonial government in exchange for his conversion to Christianity. So apparently in 2010 the city council of Begui, I'm not pronouncing that right, passed a resolution which created a monument honoring Carino and the Ibalio people. Very cool. Oh this one. At least there's a, so Violet Georgina. I'm not going to try that other. Not going to do it. Born in 1918 in Washington, died in 2008 in Washington as part of the Upper Skagit Indian tribe. So a tribe of Native Americans who heard the Indigenous Coast Salish, the Tushid language from family when young and was instrumental in the preservation of that language being its last native and fluent speaker. Her efforts include the education of any students in traditional language and stories of the region that constitutes the present day city of Seattle. And there's a lot of effort in many of the Native American tribes to try to preserve their languages as they're pacing out unfortunately. Why are we still talking about Klingon and Star Trek? Okay and we have one more. My other closest connection, Maria Taltief. Born in 1925 in Oklahoma. She was an Osage. I think I said that right. She was considered America's first major prima ballerina and the first Native American to hold rank. Oh I'm most closely connected to a ballerina. Almost from birth she was involved in dance starting formal lessons at the age of three and when she was eight her family relocated her birth home of Oklahoma from Oklahoma to Los Angeles and let's see and she was a ballerina. That's pretty cool. First major prima ballerina. Those are all of our profiles of the week guys and I am not surprised that Chris started the talk of Star Trek and Klingon. Not surprise at all. Chris is the starter of all the trouble. Yes yes this is true. I'm glad you guys can keep yourself entertained in the chat. Now we'll look at the photos. Let's see. This week's theme is Spectacles. Should be a good one. Should be good. Charles Eildman. You see his little glasses. He's like from the back looking forward. The title list is Misidentified Photo. Oh photo misidentified as this person. Hmm look at her glasses. Little little pointy glasses. Okay we call these cat eye glasses. Think so. Cat eye. They're both wearing glasses. How cute. Look at her hair. Oh bye Greg. Oh hello Russell watching from Facebook from Toronto. Oh are we talking about me being a ballerina? Oh thank you. So everybody's who's maybe timing and late I am by myself today. So it's a little kind of hard being by yourself. Kind of talking to myself. I'm also talking to you guys. Hello Charles from Macon Georgia. Open. They're making a spectacle themselves. Open. This is Charles. Realtor and businessman. Oh look Charles. Another Charles in glasses. So you're asking John Howe's Tallahassee right now. Weather wise. It's partly cloudy. Oh this was Charles business card. That's funny. Oh I like this one. She's very fancy. I wonder if we'll see any any dogs in glasses. I really hope somebody uploaded one of those. I was uploaded by Dieter. Where is Dieter? Dieter where are you? Kath at Aunt Betty's. Look there's this one. It's like a windmill back there. Fence. Tree. Okay mom. My mom just left. No she's she's got some errands to do. Oh this one's an interesting one. Nobody actually wearing glasses in here? Nobody's wearing glasses. I don't understand. That's still a cute photo even though they're not wearing glasses. This is some very tiny glasses. Just like everything else in fashion. The style of glasses. Oh this was uploaded by you Thomas. This is one of your ancestors. I was going to say the style of glasses always changed. They've gone from thin to thick, big, small. Just so three people in this one are wearing glasses. That was your third great-grandmother Thomas. Oh that's great. You just found that photo. That's always nice finding a photo of someone you never you never knew what they looked like before. Where'd you find it? And just in your stuff? That's same. Oh look at this one. This is a very appropriate. Her 60th birthday and she's wearing glasses that have 60 on it. I like it. Oh this photo is in a scrapbook. I like when people do stuff like this. So it says was wife of Thomas Smith and mother of 12 children including Philip Andrew. Her husband was a lay minister in the Methodist Church as well as a farmer and coal merchant. So he's delivering coal to local residents. She purrified this term supermom raising three of her son's children's after he died at a young age. She also welcomed two of their daughter's children into the family home. Wow. Can anybody else do scrapbooks like this of their family history? I think those are super cool. Oh look at this one. It looks like they're at the beach with their umbrella and glasses and hat. It's kind of funny this one. Her glasses actually caught the like there's like a reflection so you can't really see her eyes or maybe they're just like that? I don't know but I like that one. Only if the glass the baby was also wearing glasses. That would be cute. That's all photos are one. That is it and I am disappointed there are no animals with glasses. You all disappointed me. Well you found that photo in the attic of your grandparents house in Chicago. How lucky is that? So unless you guys have any questions or you want to see anything else I mean I don't know what you guys I might I might hit off. So we said that I was most closely connected to Louis and Maria both through my dad as usual. Yeah well this one's for this one's just a one one marriage end. Yeah because oh yeah because Maria's mom was actually one her dad was native and her mom was got Irish so that makes sense. Any new gadgets? I don't know. I mean we talked about the connection finder last time. We've been looking at the connection finder. You can see if there usually they let's look and see if there's anything fun on G2G real quick. Oh wait look I found something that's related to the connection finder. So this is actually pinned to the top of G2G so you can see what actors so featured actors. So it's basically the categories again they just have things in categories and you can see how you're connected to people in the categories. So like this one is the famous actors. Well Patrick Wayne Swayze where's my mom? When we need her. Me and Patrick Wayne Swayze are 23rd cousins once removed. That is really cool. That makes me excited. You guys should see. You guys should all look at this. Let's see who else. Anthony Perkins Richard Jude Edward Montgomery Cliff where eighth cousins three times removed. So I guess that's that's one thing you can play with. So get the pinned. Oh you can also see how you're related to the wiki tree challenge guest stars. Let's see. Oh and then I guess I can give you guys a quick update about the about the challenge. Mindy so many couldn't be here today. We will do that really quick challenge update. So Mindy was saying that let's see. They're still apparently they're still going through a lot of material but we do have two brick walls down already. So that is pretty exciting. And a lot of the stuff they've been finding Drew hasn't seen before. So Wednesday should be a good a good reveal. So don't that's all I'm giving away because you know we have to wait until Wednesday but that's all. At least we've broken down two brick walls so far. Good job guys. Twenty bounty points. Well Thomas find us some guest stars with Nordic ancestors. If you have any suggestions you know we're always I know we don't have every single week filled up yet so if you guys have any suggestions on who we can feature for the challenge.

Oh Hillary says she's beta testing an app. That's all she can say. Yeah is the ones I it should be at 8 p.m. but just keep an eye out for that. It was just at 3 p.m. these last two times because of Daniel who it was in Ireland like John so it was a better time for him. So it should be at 8 but keep an eye out. And yeah unless there's any questions might head off guys. I'm actually going to go to the beach today. After after we all after we all depart. It's going to be maybe a good beach day I don't know.
