 good morning. Hello. How y'all doing? Excellent. Y'all doing good. Yeah. Y'all doing good. I went to the cottage this week. Oh, I could have used a couple days of the cottage. Well, I left Wednesday night and came back Friday morning. So it's a nice little mini escape. Boy, and a lot of it was in the hot tub. Oh, it was. So yeah, I had a good week. You guys have a good week? Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. And Greg, do you have any Jewish roots? That's our question of the week. Not that I found and I doubt it. Yeah. Not that you found and you doubt it. Based on what I know about my family. So I don't have any in either my adoptive or biological family unless it's super, super way back. Right. Yeah. And that was a lot of this discussion in the in the chat and the information that the in the talk and the GDG post. But the question of the week, do you have any Jewish roots? And one of the answers was really good answers, like just like nearly everybody does. Fair enough. Technically. Yes. Yeah. I mean, if I guess if you think biblically and go back far enough, technically, we all have. That's right. Well, you know what? I've got an interesting one. My first year of teaching, there is this one English teacher and she was a bit odd. And she said that one of her gifts was that she could identify which one of the 12 tribes of Israel you were descended from because she assumed that everyone was descended from there. And she and she gave me a name and a okay. And we also want to send out all sorts of good thoughts for all of the innocents who are caught in the conflicts around the world right now. The innocents are the ones who suffer the most. And we hope that resolutions come to any and all the conflicts in the world right now. And our hearts go out to everybody who's suffering. So with that, let's check this out. Let's go to this tab. All right. So I went through and I read through all of them. It's like six pages of answers. So I'm going to go through some of them. Interestingly, even though I'm about as Anglo-Saxon Scottish as they come, my mitochondrial DNA is Ashkenazi Jewish. And my brother's son, my nephew's also half Jewish Baltic Russian from his mother's side. And his maternal descent classifies him as full Jewish. My goddaughter, whose mother is a diehard Episcopalian converted to Judaism and is on the Women's Council at her synagogue. That's cool. So it's a very interesting world. That's interesting. Let's see. I'm going to do this a little strangely. Evidently considering the DNA results that have come out of French Canadian founder family lines, my Jewish ancestors were forced to convert. My DNA tests show a connection to the Middle East, the Levant and Iran. There are a lot of people who were a part of the Huguenot area. Somehow we got a lot of Jewish into that group and they came over as well. Let's slip over to the next tab. I've got about 50,000 up. I've always wondered, this is from Jeanne Duberly. I'm sorry I didn't say the names earlier. My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Salmon. If she had been born in Canada, I would have wondered about First Nations roots. But she was from a family with British aristocratic heritage several generations back. And I thought that in the distant past, the name might have been Salomon or Salomon. And what's really fun about this question is, I wasn't planning on commenting, but I saw the surname you mentioned. Here we are going again with that wiki tree connecting. We got to connect some stuff. I saw the surname you mentioned. I'm curious how common that last name is, is my paternal grandfather's mother's last name was Salmon. That was a little bit of an AJ Jacobs connection there. My paternal grandfather's mother's last name, Salmon. And in other words, it's also spelled Salmon, perhaps we're distantly related. Okay. So then we get into this discussion. We're going to find out what we want to know is our genie and L Shaper are they are they related? That's that's a wiki tree connecting thing. I love that. And let's see, apparently, I do have Jewish ancestors held up pretty far back. This is from Virginia Peterson. Um, and she's got Coral Coriel, and he's a part of the YDMA project. He's got a great, uh, people that manages in there. They were friends you know. So hello, we'll take a look at that again. I'm going to jump over here. Those two sure do. 100%. My father's father's family came from Rondo, Russia, and his mother's family came from Minsk. My mother's mother's family came from Makhov, Poland, and her family came from Russia as well. Epstein, Gryffindor Epstein, I guess, because you pronounced the last second. Yeah. Oh, let's see. Let's jump on over. Oh, let's share this tab from Sandy Cooper. Wow. I never expected this. I found two 15th great, great grandmothers connecting me to Jewish roots. Oh, that's far back. That's pretty far back. All right, so let's check out the next one. She's Jesse Gleason says, I do. My second great-grands were from Poland, the very pressure Germany depends on the census response and the time, I'm assuming. Her name was from Bertha. His was Joseph Feebleman, spells it this way. He married Alice Bloom. So that's fun, St. Louis, Missouri, Missouri. Nice. So here I am 100% Russian or Jewish. Why I said Russian? Because Russia's right under there. Exactly. I'm 100% Jewish. Andrea James, my family came to the U.S. in the late 1890s and early 1900s from Russia, Ukraine, and Romania. And don't forget to upvote these great answers, people. Upvotes, love. Let's go on over here. Let's see. Yes, this from Jean Gore, my paternal grandmother is one of nine children born to Jewish parents from Disvarta, Hungary. They came to America in 1985. Three of the children were born in Hungary and the other six in New York. Tailors by trade, Sherman was changed to Sherman. After the came to America, Gold is one of her six. Okay. She was born in... And how do you say that? Come on, Greg. What country is it from? Who jelly is I guess I would initially guess. Who jelly? Like, I don't know. I don't know. Okay. So that was fun. Yes, my husband is 100% Jewish from Kathy Webster. It's fascinating. She said that she found DNA stories on ancestors. He originates from one region, but is where your family lives today covers like the whole map. He has 150,000 matches. Wow. That's a lot of matches. So compared to mine, it originates in seven different regions of 1800 matches in the US. And that is the question of the week. Kind of zoom through those because we've got a lot of stuff to cover today. So that's the question of the week. A lot of proud people showing their heritage had one little discussion about the fact that we aren't Jews were Hebrews. Someone was pointing out that we're using the incorrect word. We're not Jews were Hebrews. True. And there was some interesting discussion going on about the biblical definition of Hebrews and which lines and the sons of Jacob and David. And it was fascinating. Kind of like what you were saying, Greg. Right. Yeah. You can tell you about the tribes of Israel. So there we go. So bouncing on over to Miss Betsy. To me or Greg or the profile. That's okay. Well, this is the first time the three of us have been together like in all of October. I know. I know. Yeah. Yeah. So it's nice to be back together. All three of us. Yes, but I'm wearing my October Fest, orange, pumpkin, Halloween type colors because the profiles of the week are which Stephen King actor are you most closely connected to? Yeah, it's coming up. I go for my flu shot on Tuesday. So if I turn into a werewolf. There you go. I love that picture of Stephen King. I know. He looks a little what? What are you saying? So I thought before we start the profiles, little quiz for everyone. Let me get my cursor on the right side. No, no, it's a very easy. Okay. Everyone can you just I want to know your your scary score or your sugary quotient. Okay. Out of the these are 12 of the movies that are featured on the profiles of the week. And I just want to know how many of these have you seen? So you're my scary score is five. I've seen five of these and I gotta blow it up. I can't see night flyer. There we go. So we've got Dolores Claiborne, misery, carry the stand, which I think was actually a mini series, the night flyer, the Shawshank Redemption, Pet Cemetery. Why is that a scary movie? Yeah. Well, they're they're Stephen King movie. So I get category with Stephen King. I didn't know that was a Stephen King movie. Which one? Shawshank. Yeah, I think was that a short story? A couple of these were short stories turned into movies. I'm not sure if that one was a short story or not. Pet Cemetery, Green Mile, Creep Show, which I'm not I guess that was a movie as well, The Shining, Mr. Harrigan's Phone, which is one I'd never even heard of before, or The Tommy Knockers. So what's your scary score? Okay, Christine's is zero. Christine has a very low scare quotient. For me. Five for you, Mags, two for you. Yep. And I would never ever go see Pet Cemetery. That is the only book in my life that I ever had to put down. You know what? Julie was the same way. She read one of his, was it the stand she read? There was one of his that she really liked because he does character so well. And so then she started on, and I think it was Pet Cemetery, and she said, no, this is just too creepy. And she swore off the horror from there on. Eight, someone's got an eight. Wow. That's incredible. Nine. Murray's got a nine. Wow. That's impressive. Yeah, I've got five. And actually, I'm surprised that I have five because I'm not a fan of horror, the horror genre at all. I don't read horror books. And I don't usually like horror stories. But now most some of the ones I've seen are more mystery or drama than actual pure horror. So. And Stephen King does do one of my favorite books in the world is a Stephen King book called The Talisman. Oh, yes. And it's not a it's not a scary, scary book. It's a it's a fantasy kind of book. So. Yeah. So kind of neat. So let's let's get a have a look at this. So Stephen King himself, distant cousin of mine, born in the 40s and still alive. So we his but now his bio is a half decent for a living notable. Of course, American author best known for his dyes into the horrific, the supernatural and the unknown. More of the books. Most of those movies that we are. Yeah, all of those movies there. It was the only one that wasn't featured. He's published under now I didn't know this, his pen names Richard Bachman, John Swithin, and barrel Evans. I don't know if you read any of those. No. So I wonder, I wonder what genre is he's using with these alternate pen names? What if he gets to the end of a book and he says, I don't really like that when I'm not going to put the Stephen King name on incredibly talented writer, he is he does. Yeah. Yeah. Born in 1947 in Portland, Maine. And isn't Maine in New England the atmosphere for most or the setting for most of his books? It's popular. Yeah, I think I like. Lynette says my sister read Tommy knocker and it scared her scared the bejeebers out of her. She had to read 15 Harlequin romances together out of her. That's pretty funny. Wow. That is funny. Yeah. Is she he his father left early, left the family early. So he was raised by a single mother. He and his older brother. He was a voracious reader, of course. Now interesting, his mother worked in Maine and as cared for elderly parents and later worked at the facility for the mentally disabled. So I wonder if that featured into some of his writing, knowing, you know, having dealing with Institute, you know, having that familiar. We heard some of his mom's stories that helped inform him how to build some of the characters. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And he's still living, has three children. There we go. So moving on. So are there Christopher or may plumber Marie Maloney just posted this he wanted he wrote under the other pen names because he wanted to find out whether his writing would draw as much attention as the books under his own name. Yeah. Well, I guess that failed because none of us had. Numbers read those other that would be funny if you had a pen name and then the other author with the pen name give you a run for the money. Yeah. That's great. So Christopher plumber is the one who's close most closely related genealogical to me eight cousin twice removed through, of course, a French Canadian connection born on the 13th of December 1929, Toronto, Canada died 2021 sadly, but age 91. So we can't be too sad that 91 is pretty good in Connecticut, Western Bearfield, Connecticut. Canadian stage film TV actor, of course, his movie role that he's probably best known for is from the sound of music, as Captain Von Trapp, but he's done lots of other stuff. He was a stage actor, the Shakespeare Company, the Stratford Company, the Cirno and Barry Barrymore were other movies he did. And of course, sound of music was his the big hit also played in a Star Trek movie. He was General Chang and Star Trek six. So if Chris is here, he'll appreciate that. Chris already mentioned that. Oh, did he played in Star Wars and Star Trek? Yes. And now, Julie and I just finished a series called departures, and he has a role in that I think it was his I think it must have been his final acting role because he was looked pretty old and frail. And then in the third season, his character had passed away. And I think it was right after the actor himself had some. But anyways, great Canadian and actor. And his connection to this category was he was the detective in the Dolores Claiborne movie, Inspector, who was investigating her. He would have been a good Sherlock Holmes, too. Yes, he would have, wouldn't he? Yes. There was certainly a shortage of Sherlock Holmes actors over the years. So we're all envious of Betsy Co. Betsy, because this is Betsy closest. But what she told us, we were like, no, no, that's so cool. But look how classy Lauren Bacall is. Look how classy Betsy is. You can see the resemblance. So here, Betsy Joan Persky, stage name Lauren Bacall, born the 16th of September 1924 in New York and passed away in New York as well at the age 89, 12th of August 2014. And I always love a good quote. Here's a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you're alive, it isn't. I mean, it's kind of common sense, but it's a it's a neat thing to have said. She was Lauren's the daughter of Romanian Jewish immigrant Natalie Weinstein Bacall and William Persky. And so that Bacall comes from her mother's maiden name. She was born to Polish Jewish parents, her parents from middle class, father of salesman, mother of secretary, then they got divorced when she was five. She always wanted to be, she originally wanted to be a dancer, but then switched to acting. And then she the wife of a director spotted her in a publication and asked him to to test her out as a screen test. And that was very positive. So she got the role. And she met her future husband, Bogart, on a film. And she started opposite him when she was only 19 year old, 19 years old. And then that started the greatest love stories of all time from Hollywood, according to this. Bogie and Bacall. Bogie and Bacall. So then it goes on the the profiles very well done talks all about her her life and her films, her many, many films, and, and so on. And her the category actually interesting, one of her last things was she was part of an anime. Okay, is it anime or is it the other? Oh, the Howl's Moving Castle. Howl's Moving Castle. He had a voiceover role in that. That's right. Yeah. And that's one of my son's favorite movies of all time. And actually had a wonderful soundtrack, doesn't it? I know. We're actually playing my band is playing that piece tomorrow. Are you? Yeah, really nice arrangement from the now cue Twilight Zone music. Yeah, so that's neat. And her role, her connection to this is that she was in, was it misery? Yeah, misery. She was in misery, which was also the place that Kathy Bates was in. But she was also in a number of things. Kathy Bates did a number of things, misery, of course, where she plays the fan, the crazy fan who kidnaps the author. So I don't know if Stephen King was ever kidnapped and had Yeah, I know. I was gonna say, was that a nightmare of her? Yeah, exactly. I can see that being a nightmare. But she has a fairly short profile because of course she is still living, but it's nice that it does talk about what she's running. Tony Award, Broadway, and lots of other awards as well. She's a great actress. I really like her. Which is I think most of the ones that I've seen have featured her. So that's probably. She's a chameleon. Isn't she though? She just takes on that role and that's it. So she's amazing. Oh, look at this. Married once to a non notable husband. How would you like to have that? You're not very notable. Sorry. You're married to the non notable? So non notable they divorced six years later. Nice. Oh no. I'm sorry. That's not nice. But it's just kind of funny. I mean, it's wiki tree speak, right? So but anyone else reading this but think what? Miguel Jose Ferrer. Another way distant cousin. Born the 7th of February, 1955 in Santa Monica. Passed away early, age 61, 19th of January, 2017 in Los Angeles. That is George Clooney's first cousin. George Clooney. I was just going to say his first cousin because his mother is Rosemary Clooney, who is George's aunt. And in fact, when I saw that, when I read that, I was reading to you know, his parents were, he was the oldest child of folks, five children from actress Jose Fisanti Ferrer. And Kentucky born singer Rosemary Clooney. Oh, really? That's isn't that George's mother? So I opened up his ancestor chart here. And there's Rosemary Clooney. Then I opened up George and his ancestor chart. And look at there. Andrew Joseph Clooney, junior 1902. And, and where's Miguel down here, Andrew Joseph Clooney 1902. Yeah, sure enough. They share grandparents, first cousins. So that's cool. Sorry, I got you off track. No, no, I was, I was, I was going to talk. I already had, see, I already had the George Clooney. I was going to make that connection if you hadn't already jumped. That's okay. But he did pass away from, and the reason he passed away so young because of his throat cancer. Oh dear. Yeah, that's a that's a nasty one. I've had people who had that. All every cancer is nasty. Well, everyone is. Yeah, that's specific. That's really painful about one. I don't want to find out. Yeah, you don't want to find out. But his, he was in The Stand and the Night Flyer. So The Stand was that mini series. But he was also in other things. He was, I think he had a role in Desperate Housewives at one point. He was in, there's a few other things. He was in some other crime shows. So besides the Stephen King stuff. Yeah, he had a standing role in one of the NCISs or one of those dramas, the police drama. That's right. Yeah. Twin Peaks. He was in Twin Peaks. Yes, Twin Peaks. That's right. He was the, he was a sarcastic little, or little, he was a sarcastic police officer, whatever, which is a kind of an interest. I mean, Twin Peaks was a, an interesting show. So all the characters were interesting there. Morgan Freeman, born in the 30s, still alive, member of the US Black History. Son of Morgan Freeman and Mamie Revere. And apparently in 2008, the show of African American Lives 2 revealed that some of his great, great grandparents were slaves who migrated from North Carolina to Mississippi. Also discovered that his Caucasian maternal great-great-grandfather had lived with and was buried besucked. His African American great-great-grandmother, they too could not legally marry at the time in the segregated South, but obviously they were close enough that they were buried together. So that's interesting. Nice. Yeah. And also, a DNA test stated that he's descended from the Songhai and the Tuareg peoples of Niger. So that's, yeah. So they can get that specific to the, an area? Yeah, you can, especially with YDNA, but also with a mitochondrial DNA. You could, you could actually find a tribe and, and like, I was identified as Tuareg very early on before the databases built up. And now my, I'm from New Yet, which is right off the coast of Slovenia and Kosovo and Croatia. Interesting. Like just a little island is my heaviest place of my mitochondrial DNA. 20,000 years ago, but. Yeah, that's right. So it's a way back. Yeah. Anyways, Morgan Freeman was from, so his connection to Stephen King was the Shawshank Redemption and also another movie called Dreamcatcher. Here's a fun fact from Audrey Martin. Okay. Yes. There are AI generated Morgan Freeman meditation videos on YouTube if anyone is interested. AI generated. Yeah. Does have a soothing voice. He does. I want James Earl Jones to voice my driving, my app, my map app. Oh, yes. That would be fun. That'd be fun. He's a wonderful actor. I always enjoy his stuff. Frederick Hubbard Gwyn from the Munsters, American actor best known for as Herman Munster on the Munsters there, but that Munsters was not written by Stephen King, but what was is Pet Cemetery. So he was in the movie Pet Cemetery, which I don't think, I don't know if any of us will ever watch in this panel here. But I'm sure it's a well done movie for those who like that. Tom Hanks was in the Green Mile, 23rd cousin twice removed, pretty distant, born in the 50s. Of course, July 9th, 1986, American producer, actor, filmmaker. He made his first splash in Splash. And then he starred in other movies, Big Punchline, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, of course, Paul 13, and so on. So it's the Green Mile that he's known for that gets him into this category for this week. And of course, Castaway. Did I tell you that one time I saw Castaway was when our family, we went on a holiday, we'd had a second hand motor home when the kids were young, and we took a trip to Newfoundland. And so to get to Newfoundland in a motor home, you have to take a ferry. So the ferry from Nova Scotia, from Cape Breton to, well, there's two routes, we took the longer route across. And that 13 hour route, one of the movies they showed, while we were on the ferry in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, was Castaway. I was going to ask if you're on an Australian flight. No, we weren't on a plane. So I guess it was one step removed, but it was still, we were on a long voyage. Someone did not think that through. So yeah, I thought that's a poor choice for this type of travel. Ever Eugene Gruntz was born on the 18th of June 1914 in Owatona Steel, Minnesota, and passed away at the age of 84 on the 24th of August 1998 in Mt. Kisco, Westchester, New York. But he is more commonly known as EEG Marshall. So, and now, and the profile doesn't ever say why he changed his name from Gruntz to Marshall, but the Wikipedia article says that he just, he used Marshall as his stage name. And now, I was, I would guess, I was guessing that he went from EEG because he used E for Everett and G for Gene from Eugene. But apparently in interviews, he just said as EEG stands for everybody's guess. If we can look, if we look in his ancestors, we could see if there's any Marshalls that show up here, any clue to where he picked Marshall from, but can't see anything, right? Weird. Maybe he watched Gunsmoke. No, that was after him. Yeah. So, but anyways, he's done a lot. He did lots of stuff. Probably one of his early ones that he was most known for is 12 Angry Men. He was, I think, the Wikipedia article said Durer number four, which doesn't necessarily mean anything, but he was one, he was, he was very analytical apparently in the, in going through the evidence or whatever, played a role in the defenders and a few other things there, Playhouse 90, Foco Playhouse. His entry into this category, though, is from, well, he's done three different things, none of which I've seen, Creep Show, Tommy Knockers and The Dark Half. So, but he's done lots. He's been a prolific actor. He's done lots of stuff. I just haven't seen any of the Stephen King work. So as Greg moves on to the next one, we note that Greg is the most connected to Jack. That's only a little creepy. Born in the 30s. Look at, oh man, look at even that face. That smile is, there's just something creepy about that smile. I think it's his eyebrows. Is it his eyebrows? That's interesting. I don't know. But he does have an unusual face. Yeah. He has a face that you would think somebody had done a character of already. His face is a character in motion. Twelve Academy Award nominations make him the most nominated male actor in the Academy's history. That's interesting. Widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all times. He certainly is a great actor. There's no denying that. Born in the 37s. One flew over the Coco's Nest, of course, is one of his greatest. As good as it gets, you can't handle the truth. One of only three male actors to win three Academy Awards, and one of only two actors to be nominated for an Academy Award for acting in films made in every decade from the 60s to the 2000s. That's a pretty cool stat. Some people peak and then you don't hear from them again or whatever. He just keeps on working. Of course, The Shining from Stanley Kubrick, based on the Stephen King novel. He talks about some children, some unacknowledged children. That's interesting. He threw that into the profile. And then, of course, a link to the old bit of his partner. So, there we go. Jack Nicholson. Sissy Spasic. My closest. If you're closest, she must have Appalachia Roots. She does, I believe. Let me look real quick. She's my closest. Okay, Kathy Bates was my closest by connection. No. Sissy Spasic is, I don't claim that. Sissy is my seventh cousin once removed. Oh, neat. She is, it doesn't say where she's from, but let me look at my... Well, her parents are both from Texas, or were born in Texas. Lana, Texas there. She is, oh, she's connected to my Frank family from Lawrence County, South Carolina. Yeah. Now, Texas is not part of Appalachia, right? No, but there was a big, and Lawrence is a part of Appalachia, but it does, there was a migration pattern because the land went to normally the oldest child, and so the younger children would pack up and move. A big swath of my family went to Louisiana and to Texas, and so that makes a lot of sense to me. It does, eh? Yeah. Interesting. Going back, Czech Republic, Germany, Moravia, Austria. Well, and the Franks, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, okay, cool. It's always interesting to look through the ancestry, the lineage. That's very cool. Yeah, but don't tell us what movie she was in because if you say the word, all I can see is that final scene. Yes, yes. And I mean, really, you say her name and it's synonymous with the scary movie. What? When you say Sissy's Basic, I think of Loretta Lynn. Do you? I do. Oh, Coal Miner's Daughter. Yeah, Coal Miner's Daughter. Well, that's a much nicer thing, but I'm sure she would appreciate that much better. I don't know, she did a pretty good job. Do you think she doesn't think she did a good job? I think she did a great job in that other movie, too. Well, she did a great, she's a great actor. She's done a great job in all those. What we don't have such a great job is this profile. Oh, yeah, that's very sad. There's no better role. I mean, she's a living, but so we can't talk about it. I think that somebody should cut this conversation about her and post that as the profile. An audio clip. Yeah. Now, I got a shout out to Aaron Gillison, who's on the Canadian team, or Project Canada, Canada Project. He's actually found a birth and census record. So we can, you could add that to it, but it's a protected profile. So maybe Aaron isn't on the watch list, so couldn't do it, but he did post it in the comments. So someone who does have the rights could post that. And so you could at least say when, where she was born. And scroll back up, scroll back up to the top of her profile. Oh, top of the profile. Yeah. I just want to see the, yeah, you should be able to post on that. I mean, you should be able to post, you should be able to, whoever profile manager is, should be able to post. That's right. So yeah. I'm appealing to someone from the Notables team. Please give Sistia a bit of love and at least, you know, get to work with her forces. Mention that she played in a couple of movies, you know, just a little, you know, it's just something. She's, there are people who are talking about other movies, they love that she did. Like, did you see Good Night Mother? I think of the good old boys. Nice. We could list the movies that she's been in. Exactly. Like that's public knowledge. She's moved on. Yeah. Give her some love. Give her some love, people. Yeah. Sissy basic fans. Get to work. Come on. Is she, but is she a very big proponent of privacy? Like is Meryl Streep's profile very well, because she's well known as somebody who is very private. Okay. That would be my second guess. Yeah. I still, I don't see any harm in like, listening to the work, you know. Yeah. Like if you listen to the work. That's a good record. Yeah. I think you could list the work. That's all over the place with Wikipedia and stuff. Of course. Is that the one link is to her Wikipedia article? I don't think there are any. No, there's one link. There's, there's one source. Yeah. And it's Wikipedia. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, our last profile, then I'll turn it over to Betsy. And I might even get, you might even have 15 minutes or more. Shocker. Don't tell them. Another great Canadian, a living Canadian still. Born in the 30s, very distant cousin to me. Canadian actor has filmed career course spans over eight decades. Born in 35, received two Golden Globes, Citizen X, and path to war. I don't think I've seen either of those. Interesting. Primetime Emmy Award, inducted by Hollywood Walk of Fame, multiple film critics and media release cited him. One of the best actors. One of the best actors to have never received an Academy Award nomination. Oh, that's too bad. It is. One of just thought he was one of the best actors. Just let's stop there. That's too bad. But he did receive an honorary Academy Award for his contributions to cinema. Yeah. So he was in the original MASH movie, I believe, right? I don't know. We're going to have to rely on the chat for that answer. I'm pretty sure he was in the movie, not in the series later on, but I think he was in the original movie. And his connection here was a thing called Mr. Harrigan's Phone, which I'd never heard of, but apparently based on a Stephen King story. So that's how he snuck into this category. Okay. I think we have a yes, yes, yes, yes, yes from a Haviland Murray and D. Yeah. Okay. Thanks for the confirmation. Okay. Good stuff. And there you have it. Do we have, what was the highest scary score? Nine. I think nine from Murray. Oh, was it nine? Yeah. Very good. Okay, then. All right. Well, we've got some photos wrapping up the month. So the theme for October was family. And I did post one, which I'll, we'll kick off with. And then I need, Greg and Max, I need your help because I've completely, no, you won't give it to me. Oh, help. I don't want to think about it. I'm not going to volunteer to do nothing, though. I know what it is. Oh, no, I just, well, you know what? There's no harm in looking at a picture, a good picture more than once. I just don't remember what we've seen in what we did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember which ones we did? Oh, yeah. The photos, yeah. And, and there are all good pictures. They are. Yeah. So I only posted mine to, to the. Oh, that is adorable. That is nice. So this isn't the Taipei Airport in 1952. On the occasion of my father flying to America. So my grandmother is the one in the dark dress and to her left is my father and on his other side is my grandfather and all the sisters and I think a couple of these would be nieces, the next generation. Look at the legs. Look at the long legs on that one on the end there. Oh, wow. I think that's maybe my youngest aunt. Yeah. And they, there are other pictures from that afternoon at the airport. I think they, they brought the hymnals and they were singing and they were praying and, you know, he was the first one to go to the United States. So was the black a morning thing? Hey, I don't think so. No, I've never heard that. So this was at the. So he, was he the only one in that photo that flew over? Yes. Yeah. And he was, he was the first in the family this. Yeah. 19. That is so sweet. Yeah. The baby in the back. The baby, the baby in the back. Wait, who's, oh, that's a good question. You can barely see him, but if I'm sure if we could identify that man, that's probably his father. I would have to look at dates and do some sleuthing and show the picture to my kids. How many did ended up following his, your father over? Very shortly after two sisters and then, I mean, basically of his 10 survivings, nine surviving siblings, almost everybody came over. Like your grandparents too or no? No, not my grandparents. They came while my grandfather came to visit. Okay. So you've met them. Yeah. I met my grandfather. Haven't you spent time over? Me? Yeah. I spent time, I lived in Taipei for a summer in the 80s and I've been over for visits. Like I've been there five or six times. Nice. Nice. Okay. Well, here we are on the regular page. And I don't remember that one. No, I don't know either actually. Neither. So this was from John Basky, his paternal grandfather's family, 1920. And where are, we don't have a location. But you know, photo at that time was such an occasion. I love the ties on those little, yeah, look at that. Wow. It must have taken quite a bit of maneuvering. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Yeah, that's right. And then this from Alexis, her maternal grandparents with her mother and younger brother, Osage County, Oklahoma, where her grandfather was an oil field driller. Nice. And then this one, Pat Miller, her great grand uncle's family. Yeah. And she likes it because there's, it's a full, you know, both parents and the children. That is nice. Yeah. Oh, I do. I do remember we looked at this. This was the Peacock family reunion. But what a large crowd. That is, wow. Approximately 70 people attended the events. And this is from Em Ross. Oh, Vicki, Vicki's collage. Oh, yes. Of treasures from her great, great grandmother. I think Vicki's in the chat today. That's adorable. I know Rhondesh Schneieringer and Max, can you ID the car? Well, I was looking at the license plate. Is that North Carolina? North Dakota. North Dakota. Oh, that could be. Yeah. Okay. I can't see much of the car really to identify it. Yeah. But it's got interesting headlights. The headlights are pretty unique. Okay. They're aerodynamic and that's an unusual thing. So. Right. Yeah. And look over the left shoulder, the shot behind, vulcanizing tires. You don't see that word very often anymore. No. Right, right. Does that mean they heated them up? That's, I'm being funny. Yeah. Kelly, Kelly tires. Yep. And then there's a sump shop, a bike shop next to that? No, I think that's his tire shop because it's already an RE. Yeah, I think. No, no, no. In between their heads. Yeah. Yeah. I see that IRE. Yeah. Yeah, Victor is agreeing with me about the car. He says that has neat fenders too. Interesting. And a beautiful family. Dan Gaitley, wife and newborn daughter. Oh, you know what? Scroll back up. Scroll back up. That V above the license plate? Yeah. That might be a ration sticker for the war, the World War II. Oh, you're talking about it? They have different stickers on their license plate or a public or on their car. So they'd know which day they could go to the gas station and so people could keep track of that. Oh, really? That might be. I'm just throwing that out. You're talking about this, that I'm circling? Yeah, yeah. That's interesting. It looks like it's built part of the car. Metalwork to me, but. No, I don't see that. It looks like a badge that's sticking up from the license plate. Yeah. I'd be wrong. I'd be right. It dates 42. Yeah, dates. So yeah. It could be a ration thing. Mm-hmm. Interesting. You have to have a mustache and a hat to be in this band. Yeah, look at that. I'll wear that in that group of hunters. Yeah. This is Roger Stong's great-great-great grandfather, Matthias, and his seven brothers. Wow. 1900. Cooner's door. On a hunting trip. Did they all come back from the hunting trip? Yeah. Also, and this is Matthias, is the left most standing man. The left most tallest standing fella? Yes, true. Teresa gives us this photo of her grandfather, my uncle, and my grandmother's three brothers late 1940s. Well, that's nice. Mm-hmm. Oh, I think you guys looked at this last week. Yeah, I think we looked at Yoke's. Yoke's. Yeah. I remember her comment at the beginning that she'd already posted it, but then it was more appropriate for this one. So she reposted it, yeah. Yeah. Her great-granduncle Casper being employed, having a 25-year celebration for the working for the railroad company. Working on the railroad. Oh, money's on it. I didn't see this one. What's this? Yes. Did you look at it last week? I'm pretty sure we did. Yeah, we did. This one looked familiar, yeah. Oh, yeah. But the guy that lost leg, and we couldn't find the guy in there that had lost his leg. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And we're wondering how far back, because this is the one where he was visiting someone, and he fell in love with the photo, and his cousin gave it to him. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah. Aunt Ry's husband thinks that car is a Ford. We're still back on the car, okay. Yeah. And they're talking about it being a full-service gas station, too. Well, having a tire shop right next to the gas station would be very sensible. Yeah, we saw this. The ladies hanging out with their... Yes. Lucas, yeah. Did we see that one? Yes, and somewhat because they made a free space page just for this photo. Yes, they did. Yeah. What a great idea. You might check that out already. Yeah. Especially if you could make a profile for each of those people in the photo. I know, right? I'll link it to it, and that would be great. Chris Wine, we didn't get it. Yeah. Because Chris was the one who posted... Martin, yeah. This one. Yeah, that one. So, oh no, Jim posted this. Oh, right, because Chris had said he was having trouble, and so maybe... So Jim found it for him. Maybe Chris has the same issue I have with trying to post photos. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, he's saying yes, so... All right. So that was the photo that he was looking for. Yeah. Don't feel bad, Chris. I have issues with that, too. Well, thanks to Betsy's tips. I have been able to successful to do that. So thank you for your tips, Betsy. Oh, you're welcome. You're happy with this. And let me just warm everybody up for November. Our theme for November is going to be pets. Okay, sorry. Sorry. What? He lost his leg when he play kicked a cannonball. No. Oh, that would be terrible. That's what he says. Oh, dear. Ouch. That's very sad. Yeah. Oh my. Sorry, I didn't mean to derail you. Yeah, that was... That's a bummer. You're a very bummer. That's a bummer. So, in November we can do the pets, but next week we won't be here, will we? Right. Why won't we be here? Well, there's someone going on next week. Something big going on next weekend. The wiki tree... We'll all be at the wiki tree symposium, enjoying our second full day of wonderful speakers. It actually starts five o'clock Eastern time on Thursday, November 2nd. And there's several hours on Thursday night, all round the clock on Friday and then Saturday. Yep. And then Sunday, we have... And then Sunday is wiki tree day when we celebrate our 15th birthday. So, yes. So, it's going to be a great time. And there's a Discord watch party or a hangout on Wednesday. So... Lots going on. Exactly. So, we won't be here next week, but starting on November... We'll be all over the channels. Yeah, we'll be online. And November 11th, we'll start looking at photos. So, on pets. So, let's see. Okay. I have a special photo because that's Armistice Day. Yes. Oh, okay. It's a different day in Canada. Yeah. I have a photo of my grandfather on November the 11th, 1918, in Dumpier, France. Wow. So, I don't think I've seen that. Have you... You haven't shared it before. No? I have no idea. Okay. Well, looking forward to that. Did you have a tip? So, in honor of Hacktoberfest, this month we've been sharing tips from you. From you all. CrowdStore's tips. So, our last... We had some really great ones. I can't remember. David Randall gave us one. Sally Kimball and Cole. And so, David Draper says, when greeting new ones to WikiTree, who say they're looking for an ancestor, he tries to greet them armed with information and prepared to impress them about what WikiTree might offer. And of course, we all know how to search for people on WikiTree on the homepage. But what David's suggesting is just to do a Google search with WikiTree and, for example, Fred Draper. And he gets eight possibilities. And sometimes just a different visual presentation will have things that leap out at you in the way that they might not in a format that we're used to. So, I think it's a good idea to do both. Then he goes ahead, clicks on the profile, sees if he's that person's cousin. I know David has sent me a message that Howard related. He tries to find them on family source and find a grave. And then he's ready to answer and boggle their mind. So, thanks for that, David. And then, lastly, I have seven October ancestors to celebrate. I guess we better get going with that. So, first one is M. Ross. So, M. Ross, October first is the birthday of both her father, Anthony, and her grandfather, Leonard. So, and I think she did include photos. I'm making you all seasick. I'm sorry. That's okay. Anthony came to Canada. He did. Well, he died in Oakville. I spoke in Oakville this week. Look at that. Maybe some of his relatives were there. Well, anyway, I love this, the profile picture. Look at that. Yeah, I know. I'm going to pull up the images because they're really nice. So, this is M's father and uncle. Gorgeous picture. That's amazing in North Wales. Yeah. And then this is a caricature of her. Her father was a medical officer in the Army. So, I love that she's chosen that for his profile picture. Got a syringe with teeth. This poor little person going. Oh, there's another car for all our car and for our buffs. Is that whales? And let's see. Possibly taken during honeymoon 1952 Scotland is what it says. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the countryside and all creatures great and small. Oh, wasn't it Scotland? That was Scotland, yeah. You said his family's from Wales, so I thought, well, maybe. But Scotland, yeah, that makes sense. Maybe one of these is M, I'm not sure. That's an adorable picture. Lots of really great ones. Ah, so nice. And then for M's, Corrine, I never know what. Now, maybe somebody, I know we have some British wiki triers in the chat. KSG, what does that mean? What does that stand for? I'm going to take just a quick second to say happy, happy 46 wedding anniversary. Yes, yes. Vicki's parents. Oh, yeah, yeah. Vicki, I'm going to show their picture. Vicki's on my list. Haven't gotten there yet. Oh, it was, right. Hilary, you're right. It took place in Yorkshire, but he was from Scotland, James Herriot. And there were some, I think there were some scenes when he traveled back. Right, okay. Well, we have another great set of photos here. Let's look at this main one. So there is M's grandfather. So happy, happy birthday, Leonard and Anthony. Nice. Sally Kimball shared with us about her, that October, so next Tuesday is the birthday anniversary of her granduncle, Harry, who worked for the New York Central Railroad for many years. And she wrote about Harry, her memories of Harry. She said, when I knew him, he was usually smoking his pipe in the evenings when we visited, and his wife did most of the talking. Our kids were allowed to eat at the big table because Aunt Gertie said we had good manners. Uncle Harry encouraged all the guests to eat up on the mashed potatoes, because otherwise he would be having them as leftovers all week. So Sally is deeply involved in the Profile Improvement Project. And so she, this is a very, very well done profile. There we have a picture of Harry and lots of, lots of history. I loved it. Speaking of family, this is more cars for y'all. Okay. And then Margaret Summit wanted to celebrate her second great grandfather, Banner Shields, whose birthday is today. Oh, happy birthday. Banner, yes, in 1772. Okay. Well, that's, yeah. Yeah. He was born in Maryland, but migrated to Tennessee over the course of his life. Has some, there's quite a lengthy narrative on the profile with interesting stories. So I will shield one, two, three, one, so that you can read up on that. Happy birthday, Banner. Is John, John's in the chat, right? John Tynum. John, yep. So last Saturday was the birthday of his paternal grandfather. And the person that he was named for. So there's John Victor Tiner. And he also died in November, a day short of turning 73. Yeah. Missed it by that much. I know. He's very handsome, very dapper. Very dapper, yes. And Vicki, Vicki's parents' wedding anniversary was two days ago. And yeah, I pulled up Vicki's profile, but she actually put a photo on the G2G. So let me go there. Can you all see that? Oh my goodness. Well, happy anniversary, people. I know. So that is Vicki and her parents, 1981, 46 years of marriage, one-on-one in accomplishment. They have two awesome daughters and one beautiful granddaughter. Nice. Yeah, that's a beautiful picture. Nice. And last but not least, our own Azure Robinson. And I have something special. I hope that the technology will cooperate with me. We'll see. Okay, so October 1st is the anniversary of Azure's paternal grandfather's death. His name was Furman Joseph Robinson, 1901 to 1991. From his daughter and oldest child, I learned that at eight, his father died of pneumonia. And in 1910. So we had to leave school early to help raise his five brothers and support the family. Furman would crawl into the school window at night to read as he loved history, geography, and poetry. Nice. Yeah, so there he is. We have a big family gathering. And Azure also created a YouTube Shorts. Um, so I am going to attempt. Can you see it? Oh, we can see it. All right, let's see if it plays. Everyone, every month Betsy Ko posts out on VGG, which is the genealogist to genealogist forum, a post about celebrating your ancestors each month. This month, I'd like to share about my paternal grandfather, Furman Joseph Robinson, born in 1901. And he passed away October of 1991. He is Robinson 27274. So you can check out a little bit more about him. And I'm sharing here some images of him and his family. Thank you. And please share your ancestors. Nice. Very nice. Yeah. And thank you to everybody who's been sharing their ancestors and their stories with us. We love it. We love the photos. We love the love. And just a clarifying point, I rewatched last week's live cast and someone was saying, well, what about 52 ancestors? Which is a different thing. Amy Johnson Crow. Yes. Didn't she start the 52 ancestors? And I would blame that on her. Blame it. Give her credit. You know, often in our morning, Saturday morning, if you're here, Amy Johnson Crow, yeah, I blame you. So, yeah, they have every week, there's a different theme. Like for instance, this week, a 52 ancestor challenge, the theme is dig a little deeper. Whereas what we're doing here is celebrate your ancestors with a link to whatever month we're in. Usually birth, marriage, or death date. But hey, think outside the box. Maybe something big happened to them in October. And celebrate them because of that. So, yeah, just to clarify on that. So, when we return on November 11th, we'll be celebrating your ancestors with a link to November. Yeah. Excellent. Do you have a tip today? The tip was what I shared from David Draper. Got you. Yes, got you. Yes. All right. So, moving on, what's happening this weekend? We've already told you the big deal that's happening this weekend is the wiki tree day in Symposium. Next weekend, actually. Next weekend. Yeah. No, it's this coming weekend. This coming weekend. Okay. I guess it depends on what, yeah, what you mean by next weekend. In September, where are the questions for November? What's happening? Oh. Yeah. All right. So, we'll move right on. We've got some media stuff. So, if you want to post some social media information for us, do so. You've got Hart is our one-name study. As, as, really? Just for you, Max. That's the one-place study. That's the play. Tabor. You can say Tabor at the end. Yeah, there you go. Tabor. And the wiki tree day showcase is coming up. So, you can share the love, get that information out to everybody else. Share the wiki tree love. And that does it for us for today. Oh, we have Franks and Anderson. Look. See? See? Doing that whole wiki tree connecting. Yeah. Yeah, there we go. We will see you not next week at the same kind of place, but we will see you over the weekend. I will be there. I will also be in Houston at a conference in Houston. But while I'm in Houston, I will be wearing this all weekend long because I am being wiki tree while I'm at this conference in Houston. And while I'm in Houston at that conference presenting about wiki tree, I will also be presenting about wiki tree here during the symposium on Saturday, Friday. Friday. Yeah, Friday. So, we will see you soon. We'll see you. That's right. Thanks, everyone. Good week. Bye.
