 TLO, what's pop? We are on twitch we are live But if you can't join us just leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notification But let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK Don't forget we do got the patreon you can join to that and we also got the discord the links to all of that will be Down in the description if you have any business inquiries My email for work is in there as well This is from the shy historian He's a UK. This is a UK channel. He is called the most inbred family. How inbred are the widow with Whitaker's with with takers with takers. I Wasn't even gonna do this. I was I started this I got this far in By right here minute in and I was like, you know what now I think I got a lot to say So I'm gonna lie the world's most inbred you can recap when this story broke back in 2020 I knew that this needed to make a spot on my own channel Previously if you've been watching my content for a while, you will know that I feature inbreeding and incest fairly often That's crazy. The usual topic will focus on royalty today and in the past However, today's video will be slightly different. This ain't listen. Okay I didn't even know That there was a possibility that these type families Was involved in those things of that nature Rolty today and in the past However, today's video will be slightly different. The whitaker's or Whitaker's depending on your accent are not royalty by any stretch of the public imagination But they may possibly be more inbred than the Habsburgs or even the ancient Egyptians In today's video, we'll be breaking down how inbred the whitaker family truly is How inbred are the whitakers? This will be the primary question in today's video To do this, we will split today's video into two sections and I have section one I had asked the stream like Like what what what drives somebody mind the one day wake up be like yeah, my cousin looking like Ten out of a ten. I'm gonna go shoot my shot. Like what what drives a human do that? That's weak. That's for me For me I can't speak for most people but I can speak for me That's weird We'll outline the context of the whitaker family from origin to today We will cover the named members of the family and some more important details to take of note Section two addresses today's question by using our contextual information Alongside a potential family tree or bush in this case Bro is deep into it alongside a potential family tree or He didn't bro. He didn't He didn't pull it up a shot shot a shot chart this is I'm gonna be real with y'all. I'm gonna tell y'all something about me I don't I do not discriminate when it comes to dating But when I used to live in Chicago like I used to live in a specific area in Chicago I refused to date anybody from there because I don't know who's my cousin Look, I'm being dead ass with you right now I refuse like almost didn't date black girls because I didn't want to I didn't want to mistake it for my cousin or something like that Like I'm not doing it because I'd be seeing too many couples And I'll be looking at them like, yo Are y'all sure y'all not it's not a possibility y'all second cousins or something Like are you positive like and I just don't want that for myself like I would be devastated You know what I'm saying like no He'll know By using architectural information alongside a potential family tree or bush, but don't get me wrong like I'm dating now. I'm in florida You know, I'm dating It's whatever But back where I was from In this case We can count we damn near had to take a DNA test to make sure calculate the consanguinity coefficient of the wittaker family Essentially calculating how inbred each family member is Who is the most inbred and what the average inbreeding of the overall family truly is How inbred each family member is what family member is most inbred like come on, man Am I I might be overreacting now with that all out of the way. Let's move on to today's video Why were the wittakers even cared about until 2004 the family lived a relatively obscure life Although the locals of the Appalachian region in Virginia knew about the family's problems There was no indication nor knowledge that the family was conducting in interbreeding In 2004 mark later snapped. He's now in Now watch out, I mean I want everybody to see The most image of a few members of the wittaker family Danny Timmy and Freddy were siblings in the supposedly final generation of the wittaker family In 2004 mark later knew that this generation was suffering from the ill effects of inbreeding Timmy for example suffered from facial and mental deformities and I'm not stating this to disparage him his cousin Ray who is not included in the family tree directly, which will be displayed later Was reported to be the member of the wittaker family who was suffering from the ill effects of inbreeding the most When mark later visited the family again in 2020 Ray the supposed cousin of the family was unable to communicate with mark Instead showing him objects inside the wittaker's family lodge with grunts So why are ray and timmy victims of intense inbreeding? In order to see this we need to go back to the year 1887 In this year identical twins henry and john married two non-related women at this time Nothing looked out of the ordinary. Okay looking real average real average. Okay And a snapshot of the family tree does not indicate anything amiss This is until we look at a few generations back Henry and john. Okay back. You see john did not marry a non-relative His wife aida was his first cousin as she was the First cousin though not second not third not distant First that means your mama's brother or sister's daughter or Daughter of john's auntie Was his first cousin as she was the daughter of john's auntie confusing. Don't worry Things are going to get a lot worse very shortly Both of the identical twins managed to produce children including a son and a daughter The daughter who was the child of john and aida was unfortunately the product of inbreeding Since her parents were first cousins However, first cousin marriages do not stop there. In fact while john junior and gracey were growing up They fell in love with one another Mark reports that their courtship was not only encouraged by their parents despite them being both first cousins But also that their relationship started before gracey had reached the age of 18 As she gave birth to her first child before this This occurred in the year 1937 with john so it wasn't like an accidental like dang i just accidentally you know i'm saying This was encouraged Before this this occurred in the year 1937 with john and gracey reportedly marrying in 1935 when gracey was only 15 years old Their first child named aileen was the first of 15 children named who? No stop It's not funny stop stop stop old Their first child named aileen was the first of 15 children born to john and gracey Their next child born 10 months after aileen's birth was sickly and lasted only a few months Over the next 23 years the couple produced 13 more children Many suffered from the ill effects of inbreeding their eighth child mary passed away aged one month due to inbreeding complications While many of her siblings survived now Isn't there laws against this now? Can't you go to jail for this? There are no laws back then or something. I mean it's presumably I guess not They passed away from heart attacks or complications of long-term illness with mark commenting that inbreeding was a likely cause of this However disturbing details do not end there Timmy shown in the image earlier is not the brother to freddy nor danny In fact, he is their nephew being the son of their sister lorraine mark could not find out conclusively whose timmy's father was but later on in the video We will uncover some disturbing possibilities Out of all of the 15 siblings Danny known as ray was apparently the one who suffered the most from inbreeding Out of the 15 siblings betty was regarded as the most capable and became the family matriarch When mark visited the family in 2020. He asked her why there were so many abnormalities and Ancetricities in the family She commented that it had nothing to do with genetics and could possibly be due to coal mining Critics stated that the wittaker family who lived in west virginia Were in one of the most poorest counties in the whole of the usa and at this would count as exploitation However, later's documentaries sparked a go fund me page for the family allowing them to finally break their cycle of poverty Part two how inbred are they so one side of the family was you know had a normal thing going on and then A cousin and a and a cousin and another cousin and then from there their son and daughter just got together and it just The whole line of family is gone Stop stop Suffering from the ill effect Using the family tree it's obvious that the family is suffering from the ill effects of inbreeding caused by successive generations of intermarriage Unlike the Habsburgs who experienced first cousin marriage frequently Many of the children born to the wittaker family experienced more of Not bad My bad my bad my bad often the not negative Unlike the Habsburgs who experienced first cousin marriage frequently Many of the children born to the wittaker family Experienced more often than not negative effects both physical and mental of inbreeding So how inbred is the family to do this? We need to consult a simple equation known as the coefficient of consanguinity relationship Using this table we can see how this works Take yourself for example if you were to have a child I don't want to take myself I'm Let me move myself so we can all see the chart If yourself you can see how this works take yourself for example if you were to have a child with yourself Yes, I know this is impossible But theoretically speaking the child would have a consanguinity coefficient of a hundred percent or one Which is the highest level of inbreeding Someone could possibly have in contrast the lowest would be zero percent or zero which is ideal But very few people have this since almost everyone on earth is considered to be related to one another if you look far back enough Don't Okay, I know that but the fact that you just said it out loud I'll do that to me, bro Fortunately, we can look back to a certain extent of the wittaker family since we have the family tree available If we presume that the first ancestors had a consanguinity coefficient of zero We can accurately calculate the inbreeding levels of all known descendants The first culprit of inbreeding was through the couple John and Ada Whose daughter Gracie was a product of the first cousin relationship This means that Gracie's consanguinity coefficient is zero point one two five Unfortunately for Gracie She went on to have her own first cousin relationship with her first cousin John Who may have had a zero percent consanguinity coefficient since we cannot detect any signs of inbreeding in his ancestors However, because of this first cousin relationship The consanguinity coefficient between these two actually increases to zero point one eight percent Meaning that their children would be more inbred than Gracie This is unsurprising given the images we have of the wittaker generation With ray and freddy being examples This means that all of the 15 children had a consanguinity coefficient of zero point one eight percent Since they were all four siblings Now this might not seem too high But keep in mind Charles II of Spain who is infamously regarded as one of the most inbred people to have ever lived Had a consanguinity coefficient of zero point two five So they're not that far off the high level of inbreeding is likely responsible for the premature demises Of some of the wittaker siblings such as Amore and Mary in infancy As well as some of their long-term health problems of the other siblings who passed away from heart attacks in their 50s and 60s However, the true story does not end there. Remember Timmy The son of one of these inbred 15 siblings who had an unknown father If Timmy's mother Loreen had married a non-relative Timmy's consanguinity coefficient would have been as low as zero point zero eight percent But looking at Timmy it's safe to say this is unlikely In fact, Timmy appears to be suffering from inbreeding My bad. Nope. We've got to see we can't really miss nothing Because this is crazy I But looking at Timmy it's safe to say this is unlikely In fact, Timmy appears to be suffering from inbreeding either to the same extent Or even higher than his supposed aunts and uncles. What does this mean? Although Loreen had Timmy when she was 33 There is a possibility that Timmy's biological father is a close relative to Loreen Eight cousin is a probability since the town they live in only has 800 residents With almost a hundred of these being from the Witte family line However, there is also the grim possibility of something else Which I wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait They live in an 800 town 800 people town 100 people from that the same family line That you got to move How they moved with their 45 dollars, huh? I will not elaborate here since there is no direct evidence nor even rumor from any member of the family With that said we must conclude that the Wittaker family has a consanguinity coefficient Better known as an inbreeding extent of 18 Ranking them as one of the most inbred families to have lived on earth And there we have it how inbred the Wittaker family is What detail in this video did you find surprising? Make sure to the whole 10 minutes and 48 seconds was surprising I don't understand why anybody would think any less of this was surprising See a little bit like comment subscribe
