Hillary says a bit dull in Wales today but no It is bright and sunny outside, but the temperatures only you go up to Like plus three or four so only in the 30s, but tomorrow Wednesday, we're gonna be rocking like 52 degrees Wednesday. Yes, that's two. It's 52 here now It's actually pretty chilly for North, Florida Hello Sharon we have cursing von Molt Good and then my mom who says it's chilly down in South, Florida. Hey Joe Hope everybody's doing well Okay, says that she heard her really central NY New York whiny accent when she was listening to her own presentation. I Think we all do that. We'll listen to ourselves There's a spot when you're going through you have to go through New York and Pennsylvania to get to South Carolina and there's a spot where you go through Pennsylvania and I want to say It's in the mountains in the the the particular accent and that specific place It's always where we stop to get lunch on the first day and the accents are so crazy And that just that little bubble of an area. It's fun Accents are Fun what y'all talking about? I know nothing about no accents Oh Hillary found a missing child yesterday and I want to say did you return it to his mother? No Second cousin once removed has joined wiki tree. Oh, that's exciting. That is fun So, oh, it's it's quilt day-to-day says you and working on a blog post for the Sun, New Hampshire quilt and book Do you know what one year during our sourceathon? Roberta Estes came on and did a Informational about how to source a quilt Like you get a quilt handed down from your ancestors and she was showing that most quilts have a signature block and They would have written their name and their date or who it was a dedication block or something and a look for that When you're looking at family quilts not all of them might not a mind did but I thought that was great. Happy quilt day Yeah, happy. Well, it's the first day of spring for all of us in the northern hemisphere And it's the first day of fall for everyone in the southern hemisphere. Did I do that right? I think I did That's like trying to point me to here see I think I'm pointing at you and I'm not yeah No, you're speaking of quilts Speaking of quilts a a particular person Showed up in the question of the week. Oh, well, what is the question of the week Mags? Well, you know the question of the week is Do you have Irish roots now? This particular person says that he has about 3% Irish but He also posted this which is just completely opposite Guess who that is He doesn't have us what's the little knife called that you usually put in your There was a there's a guy that used to work for Family Tree DNA and he always wore quilts and Robert was always had his knife and they would stop him in airports and try and get the knife off of him And he was like he was a giant so you couldn't get his knife from him, but look at that Tim dresses up pretty nice doesn't he? Yes So that's a part of the question of the week, but the real question of the week We'll go to it. Look at the real question and where is Pip? He's never here He missed his picture There were so many great questions are great answers about If any of your family is Irish and thankfully not a whole ton of people answered that They were Irish Comment section the answer this post button apparently is working So I don't have three pages of just comments to go through actually There were a couple of people like Mark Weinheimer and Kevin Conroy and Steve Thomas Wait, no Steve Thomas and Kevin Conroy not not Mark Weinheimer, but Kevin and March and Steve were in the pub On March 17th. They don't care if they're Irish or not, but they're going to go celebrate it anyway I thought that was a great answer to the question Lots of people were talking about having Irish ancestors like the Douglas name popped up a lot A lot of people were saying that they were connected to the Douglas family and so Mark Weinheimer's I have an Irish ancestor who was a brick wall and that is the wiki tree Douglas dash 10589 so if you relate to him There's a couple of answers on there about the Douglas family Clark Greg Clark Greg's not here this morning or is he coming? Greg are you hiding in the background Craig? He's a but he's really a Douglas. So he's got Irish stuff going on 100% Irish on her father's side on her mother's side. She's 0% does that mean she gets a half kiss on St. Patrick's Day In our family, we don't wear green like my family the O'Dorty family that I am a part of right here We don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day because we're Irish So people see us and they say where's your green and it's right here in my blood man right here We're talking about it was here Did you see the picture pip if you didn't I'll throw it back up I have it Yeah, there you go That's the man that just entered the room So Scott's Irish there was lots of scotch Irish talk And there I have a couple of links that Sarah's gonna throw up the first one Is the Irish DNA Atlas project? And Sarah's got that link to throw up The Irish down real quick guys Google the Irish DNA Atlas yeah, that would probably be better and that project talked about Whether or not how much there was Scott's and Irish it looked at it different patterns the key findings were mass movement of in recent decades That there are numerous distinct Genetic clusters. So this is obviously it's a genetic study But there's there's lots of different types of Irish people That have lots of Scottish influence and there's lots of sky that Scottish people that Irish influence and I'm going to show you a second Link or no, this is a picture and this is from and that's the second link there for you Sarah This is from a study that was released and these two studies have just been released. So they're very new this one was in September this is from a People who have Scandinavian background I was using this to show How the Scandinavians came into Northern Ireland Northern Scotland Northern Ireland on Ireland and how in this mitochondrial Grouping of people who came over there's lots of Scandinavian in the Irish and I didn't see a lot of commentary on that Which my mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's line is Scandinavian But they all came from Ireland and of course then there was some sort of viking something that went on But this is a really cool story a report to it actually shows the specific areas So this is my people all the people that went to Appalachia. That's me There's groups of people that went specifically to Pennsylvania in the Midwest to Virginia and low and South Lowland South so like the low country of South Carolina Charleston in that area Whereas the upcountry in Appalachians got the people from Northern Ireland I guess they wanted to go and live in the places that look geographically like what they were living in so Those are two interesting projects that you can look at to get some information and answers about how Irish or scottish you really are had a great comment here about a Clota band my great-grandmother Jane Walker was born in Galway When she was a teenager she and her sister were able to leave during the potato famine They lived in New Orleans And that's where she met Alexander McCullough who was working as a shipwright They had five children moved to Pennsylvania care for aging his aging parents Jane to the trip back to New Orleans to visit her sister and she developed yellow fever She died. Oh, it's a horrible horrible story yet She has a clatter ring that she bought in Galway to honor her the hands represent friendship and heart represents love The crown represents loyalty. I actually my wedding ring and you can't see it It's too too far away is a clatter ring Because I'm Irish and my spouse is Irish and if the if the heart is pointing out on your hand Then that means that you are available that you are That you can be dated and if the heart is pointing towards your heart that means that your heart is taken so My spouse and I where our bands pointing towards our health hearts. We also got our wedding rings from Galway, Ireland Wow, I thought that was a great co-wink it in very cool So that's a great great one. Lots of people were talking about Belfast There were four children born in Uganda raised in an English private boarding school whilst her siblings remained in England Anyway, the whole crux of the story is that this kid because money was tight ended up in a in an Irish boarding school rather than an English boarding school and Ended up marrying this guy that the marriage eventually broke up But that's why she's part Irish and she's kind of glad that things went astray and she met this guy in Ireland So now tea doubting has some some Irish to claim Anyway, there's lots of great stories lots of great things and of course that wonderful picture that I had Favorite your favorite man in a kilt. Yeah Yeah, and I wanted to say one more thing that Everybody who's on ancestry DNA recently had all of their DNA results updated for their origins Updated to show that a lot of people had way more Scottish in them than they thought But that's because people from Scotland or people with Scottish heritage or report Scottish heritage had Added themselves to DNA ancestry pool. So you were showing up more matches to Scottish not necessarily that you have Maybe if you you looked at the DNA pool to another company, you'll show up more Irish than Scottish Make sure you you check all the sources and not just one when you're looking at your origins report Charles was saying Something he says he has a French surname in about 400 years of known French ancestors However, I have a R1 B1 B2 a1 a2f Which was in the 1950s predominantly 80% Scott and 75% Irish men born within that decade Yeah, and my my DNA I have a an interesting story. We have this family of Templeton's who are who claim Scottish heritage who even chartered a Scottish Plan back in the day and they even had this beautiful Tartan made up. That's right here in the background But having the DNA test done on some some Templeton's in my family. We're Irish We're so Irish. We're not Scots yet I did a presentation on DNA in surname projects back a little while ago on Legacy Family Tree and The north of Ireland project reached out to me and they said we think we know where your Timbletons are from and Sure enough our Templeton's we have absolutely identified that they're from Island McGee north of Belfast And they're in a very Scott's Irish area So my Templeton probably did go back and forth between Ireland and Scotland, but there we're O'Neill's We're O'Neill's Mindy, do you have any Irish in you or no? I do I have one little tiny branch And it's one of my I actually did answer the question of the week It's one of my biggest brick walls because I can't get past the the one that migrated But she was sent over by herself by her parents as a teenager To marry during the potato famines. She was sent So there's and she has a really common name Yeah, I think I found one distant ancestor who's From like his says he's born in Ireland, but I haven't confirmed so I don't really consider myself Irish at all But there's a possibility especially like since kind of England and Ireland are kind of all clumped together there So it's it's likely no Cuban No, oh So speaking of Irish are Profiles of the week are Irish Which Irish notable are you most closely connected to? so we had Obviously we started off with our You know the main the main man St. Patrick himself Which if you guys know the story why there are no snakes in Ireland, it's because of st. Patrick He you know got he drove all the snakes into the sea So that's st. Patrick our main man Apkelpernaeus is his last night of birth St. Patrick and If you if anybody wants to put who they're most closely connected to in the chat, please do so and Then we actually have a little in the it's a very well-written biography. Look how beautiful it is that the pictures in there and then there's a little Why are there no snakes in Ireland section? I don't know what that means. I don't know Anybody can share any insight that'd be great The next our next guys probably a lot of people are also familiar with Because of this probably what they drink on st. Patrick's Day Arthur Guinness Born in Ireland 1725 and He was a brewer, you know the Guinness beer Yeah That you guys like I don't think I've ever had a Guinness beer You I'm sure mags has you know, I've had I've had a Guinness in Dublin. Oh It was good, but I didn't have a Dark Guinness I had a light Guinness like it's not what you normally see when you see a Guinness Because I'm not a dark beer person That is our Then next we have Orino hair born in 1920 in Ireland Actress Best known well, I guess one of her Original parent trap Movie good friends with John Wayne in that movie. She was it on John with John Wayne was on on St. Patrick's Day and she also worked with the director John Ford she was also a singer and famous redhead who was known for playing passionate and sensible heroines the The words that you wanted to know the the definition of from Happy St. Patrick's Day. Oh really? That's what it says. Yes. Oh Darn, you would have thought that I was just gonna say I'm 20 degrees from Maureen O'Hara But also George Bernard Shaw. So I had to this week. Oh, no No, what I? Don't know. I guess I was reading Charles he says he has the redheaded gene and it affects his pain receptors Okay, yeah That's all a Next one on our list is Michael Collins. Oh I didn't hold on Trying to have too many screens going on here Born in 1890 in Ireland. I guess they're all I can just stop saying Ireland because I guess they're all born in Ireland He died at the age of 31 though Didn't have any didn't get married or have any kids, but he was He was killed in during the Irish Civil War in 1922. He was an Irish revolutionary leader and Yeah Died in during the war Well, we got a lot of stuff on his bio Yeah, there's a lot of stuff about about him So please I always recommend everybody reading the profiles of the week. You always learn something If you had any any people who were involved in the Irish Revolution like Bloody Sunday and all that stuff you should write that up on their profiles We have we have a couple in our adority fan family who were involved This is So if anybody wants to take on reading this biography Okay, so that is Michael Collins Next we have George Bernard Shaw Irish playwright and co-founder of the London School of Economics born in Ireland I Wouldn't aghast would you would you think that hmm? He so he was the first He was the only person to have been awarded a noble prize in literature and an Oscar until Bob Dylan also received both But he was the first one to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was in 1925 and an Oscar in 1938 for his Wasn't Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize though a laureate for poet poetry. It was poet laureate not a not for Literature I Know just checking. Oh if you want I don't I'm not sure. I just like it just have some notes here not is I'm gonna look it up Maybe Mags will see what that is but his his Noble prize and Oscar was his work for the film Pi Million can't even say that so I'm gonna try Pig Malion Yeah, and he died It's it's he wanted for literature by creating a new poetic expressions Within the American song tradition. Okay, there you go. It's poetry, but it's for literature. That's interesting That is interesting Okay So in the next we have constant score booth Irish politician revolutionary nationalist suffragette and socialist she was born in England Probably Probably her parents More in Ireland. Yeah so She was in 1918. She was the first woman elected to the British House of Commons and formed the first Dal Iran can't even say that this this word Right here dial Air Erin is that how you would pronounce it looks good to me And she was also one of the first women in the world to hold a cabinet position for the Minister of Labor of the Irish Republic So very you got a lot of women on here, too. We have three. We have another one. You coming up on mine Great on yours It's great so Mali. Yeah, so Mali, but do you want to tell us about grace O'Malley then hey She was an Irish chieftain. She was actually the chief of an Irish tribe of the omelette of the O'Malley plan West of Ireland. She fathered in the footsteps of she followed in the footsteps of her father She was the Queen of Connacht Sea Queen of Connacht. Yeah, well, yes, and she was a well-known historical figure um so She was pretty cool one. She's famous for here is there's a Bunch of restaurants and bars called Grace O'Malley's and the original one Was located across from the House of Parliament And a famous parliamentarian was shot dead in front of the steps of this bar So this bar Grace O'Malley's will never be shut down because it's almost like a holy place to go to in Ottawa so Grace O'Malley And I'm related to her Yeah, she was and she was uh, very at sea She gaged in piracy and most full rebellions against English overlords of Ireland. Oh, she's just wonderful Mags of Mags loves this one pirate lady Erg Erg Okay, then we have two more Oscar Wilde probably most people are familiar with Oscar Wilde's author wrote a The picture of Dorian Gray Born in Ireland died in France And also he wrote the importance of being earnest. He was author playwright poet And yeah, that's that's him Have you guys read the book? Yes, the Dorian Gray one I have this with And he wrote plays as well, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah playwright. Mm-hmm so Produced society comedies in the early 1890s ladies Windmere's fan a woman of no importance and an ideal husband um His only novel was the picture of Dorian Gray. That was his only novel I love the the final quote at the bottom the only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past And every sinner has a future Very cool. So that we have one more Daniel O'Connell Taught up all of them. Only one was not born in Ireland So he was born in 1775 He was referred to as a liberator or the emancipator and was an Irish political leader in the first half of the 19th century He campaigned for Catholic emancipation Including the right for Catholics to sit in the west minister parliaments And he died in Italy Why why was he there? That's it's what I want to know was he just on a trip. Was he doing some political stuff over in Italy? I don't know Oh, so he had four sons and three daughters and all of his sons were members of parliament in fact That's pretty cool Um, I was trying to see why he went over to Italy if anybody knows that Please tell me Then we can move on So those are all of our Irish notables their profiles of the week How very cool very very cool very very cool So let's see who I'm most like closely connected to it's probably the same as Magda Mindy usually is Because we're kind we're kind of the same Let's see Um Maureen. Yeah, well also I'm the kind of the same Maureen George and O'Malley Yep, let's see how I'm connected to Maureen though Oh through my dad. Oh actually through my dad's callus side that never happens. Oh my gosh That never happens So always through my grandma's side never through That's exciting. I always love seeing how I'm connected I've been trying to make a point. I think it's really good practice for everybody to see Your connections and go through and kind of verify at least your trail That is first connected making sure all of those connections are valid. I've been trying to do that With the time I have at least for my closest one. I try to do that So making sure that this is actually The father and the brother and you know making sure they're all accurate because sometimes there might be an uncertain connection and that's why stuff anybody That's a good practice. I like to do that My mom says he was in Italy because Italy is cool Good answer. Yes So next we're going to go on my gosh your mother needs to stop I gotta tell you I've gotta read what Sarah's mom just wrote But we're not actually doing a really late see Sarah, that's why you are so beautiful Just look at marina o'hara Really? Sarah's head Okay Stop it joe. I know and I'm all red Okay now to the photos of the week Springtime is our theme I know that Yoke who was on last week. I don't think she's here this time, but her photo last week was chosen as photo of the week It's pretty. Yes. It was it was a pretty photo too. Mm-hmm. So let's look at these springtime photos So we have the wedding of Ida Larner and John Evans Probably happened in the springtime. Yep, April 22nd 1946 Yeah, I think that was the one that mentioned that it was during the war so they didn't have the traditional bridal gown material Oh I guess that's in the g2g post where they wrote that or somebody that so we have Charles Being wrong. I have no idea. I haven't pronounced your name wrong wants to know if um We could have an unsupported gateway ancestors challenge or something Where people try and connect gateway ancestors across the pond either on because Could this be a topic so unsupported gateway ancestors which gateway What kind of topic now the gateway ancestor is somebody who's come to the united states Or to a country they've entered a country and they're the first known Ancestor in the country whether it's australia or Or new zealand or the united states, but they can't get back any further past Their entry ancestor that gateway ancestor. Okay, because i'm familiar with that term because I know some projects use it. Um, so just So you what kind of topic like for their live cast for gateway ancestors or For a challenge so people will clean up the lines I guess kind of it's kind of like a brick wall challenge, but a brick wall gateway ancestor challenge Yelki master Picture of the week is is the your picture from last week is the picture of the week This week, yeah And she got confused apparently because of daylight saving times for us But it hasn't happened for her yet. So she got confused with the times Oh time zones and daylight savings time I don't see the chris says that he thought gateway ancestors were people who were connected to sorority barons That may have been the the the specific thing years and years and years ago But I don't I think the gateway ancestors are literally Whoever the the person was that made entry to the country. So I don't think it's just for the sorority barons Well, look it up real quick. I know this is very popular on the mayflower Gateway ancestors approach the least this is the definition that popped up See what you started See and they also kind of connect look when you look at gateway ancestors wiki tree is the third link For magna card. I love that So I guess we'll all have to Yeah, well gateway to england. That's funny Karen You go back to the normans wait. Let's go back to the angles. Oh wait. Wait. Wait. Let's go back to the uh Yeah And if you go back to the gateway ancestors of ireland, you're going to go back to people who were from the middle east according to the very Bleeding edge of dna technology Yeah, I did send yoke an email that her photo was photo of the week I tried I've been doing that to make sure that they know Charles I think He Charles says that his definition and since he's the one who brought it up can be anyone in the 15th century But I actually think it's a gateway ancestor is anyone who? Open the first gate for your family line in a new place There you go. Now open that gate. Does that help? And then donnell also has do you only have one gateway ancestor or one for each line? Good question donnell. Were we talking about photos? Yes, sorry. Well, let's let's go back. I mean, I think it's I like talking about other stuff too But I also like talking about photos.
