 Hello everyone. Happy Saturday. Max is in a different location on... I don't know about you, Sarah, but the music didn't play for... I think it's... I think it played. Did the music play, guys? Did you hear me? It played for me. Do you hear me? Well, Max can't hear me. I hope everybody else can hear me. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. We can hear you. I can. I can hear you. Okay. Yeah, I can hear you. Oh, okay. You can't hear me. I can hear you. I can hear you. No? Okay. You just couldn't hear the music. Okay, let's see who's here. Are we... are we lagging though? Is there a big lag? You have a lag. I couldn't... no, I couldn't. Wow. What a morning. What a morning. What a morning. Okay, let's see who's here. So we have John, Donna, my mom. Yes. So there was no music for everybody. Nobody... oh, wow, you just heard that? Wow. There was no music, really? Oh, that made me sad. Juned her music. Greg didn't hear music. So I think Max is a little laggy. Maybe the storms that are happening. Yeah, there's a storm where she is, so... Let's see, we also have Thomas here, Hillary. Just keep going like there's... Bye, Max. See you later. She'll probably figure it out. So Sharon, Tommy, Chris, June, Jonathan, and Lynette. Let's see, what else? Thomas, and I think that's everybody. Well, Max is not on her usual computer day, and there is a storm. So she's blurry and laggy. That is why. What can you do? So did you want to try to do the question of the week, Max? Or... okay. All right, so let me see if I can share my screen. If not, we can just talk about it. Oops. Here we go. Oops. If you could time travel, where would you go? When would you go? Really interesting question this week. Pam Wade in the Facebook group says, $17.95 to be with at the birth of my third great grandfather, to find out who his parents were. And amazingly, there were a lot of people who wanted to be at the birth of some great, great grand or whatever, which is fun. I don't know that I would actually want to be standing in the room while my great, great grandfather was born. That would be kind of awkward or weird, but you know, to each his own. Let's see. Back to the 1700s when my dad's ancestor settled parts of Bristol County, Massachusetts, and the Society of France to see how things were. We had people saying they wanted to go back to... A lot of people wanted to go back to Massachusetts during the starving times or during the Plymouth and all of that. I'm like, no, not really. Don't want to go back there. Wouldn't want to live through that. No. And a lot of people said that as well. Robin McGrath says, I remember sitting in my great grandmother's lap. Her nickname was Aunt Busy, because she was always so busy. She was a justice of the peace and loved politics. I would love to chat with her. So back to the 1890s, probably. Joseph Phelps says he's where he's supposed to be, and he doesn't want to travel. There you go. Vicki Moss says, You know, I was loved and admired your mom. I have no idea who she was. She was talking to Ian Mitchell, I guess. Hello. Didn't mean to do that. Victoria Jane, 1920s, New England, New Brunswick, Canada, and New York to learn who my paternal grandfather is and meet all of my great-grandparents. This is a good one. Kevin Gerard Eccles says he wants to get drunk with his second great-granddad, James Eccles. He died in 1926. It'd be helpful to ask him who his grandparents were, too, as Hedderbrick Wall there, no further paper trail. All right. Sheila Smale, 2005, to put all my money in Apple, get more dogs, and stop taking life so seriously. That's pretty funny. Kelly and Theresa Young, I'd like to go to 1600s New England and help my witch ancestors fight the power. Good luck with that. If, yeah, no, good luck with that. I would want to do that. Linda Van Duce and I would travel back as far as I could and meet each one of my grandparents. It's a lot of people took this as that they could only travel back to one place. So that's interesting. There are just a couple of people who said, I want to travel back to this place and then to that place, and then I'm going to go over to this place, which would be fun to do. For me, do I want to go back and actually keep myself from making stupid mistakes? That was another good answer that people said. I would love to go back and keep myself from making stupid mistakes. Here's another one, Kimberly Palmer writes, 1630, Massachusetts Bay Colony. I want to see what my ancestors saw, but here's the point here. Note that it would be interesting to visit, but I would want to live there. No, no, no, no. And this is the only one, only person who said this was Bob Crabb. I want to travel 30 years forward to see how my kids are doing, what the James Webb telescope discovered, where a unified theory ever came to be if nuclear fission became a reality and if government entities ever developed the courage to address climate change. That's an interesting answer. He wants to go ahead in time, but if you only go ahead 30 years, are you going to run into the possibility of meeting yourself? And what would happen if that happened? If you met yourself, would there be a singularity and the universe would start all over again? You never know. So had lots of great answers on the Facebook post and there was actually a best answer chosen in our GDG post, which is I would visit every brick wall ancestor in NASA and it gave me a source for their life events so I could quote them here, which is Jonathan Boyer. That's a good answer and it did answer that he left a comment. I can think of two places I'd like to go and they're North Carolina. He wants to meet his grandparents, bless them, talk so often with me sharing stories of people that they knew who lived back then and stories of others they did not know, but I felt I would like to know. So cool. Second one is 1970s at my childhood home with my iPad. Can I take my iPad to sit down with my dad and get him to tell me the stories of his wartime experience and record it because he was too self-absorbed and foolish to ask him when he... Let's see. The deeter said that he would go back in time, step by step and visit and talk to all of my ancestors one by one. Here's another one who had multiple places that he would like to go in times and if it were possible, I would like to take a photo of each one since most of my ancestors are from Burma I would not need to change much in location. Pretty cool. You mentioned just taking out your phone when you do travel all the time and take a photo of them and then... First, I'm an artist. She may not take you where you want to go where you are new. That and the three is a bit problematic. Plus, she has a translation field. Am I here? Here's the page one away. Are you in? Okay. Okay. Are we all all done? That's a question of the week? I think so. Mags is lagging. But I think, I'm surprised you didn't see anybody say this to go back to when the 1890 census was destroyed and save it. Save the 1890 census. That's what I, one of the things I might do. So, and we did, I guess we did kind of lose Mags. Well, while we lost Mags, we can go into our profiles of the week, which, and I'm also getting beamed by the sun again. It's just the time is changing. So, I'm getting beamed. People did say that. Oh, yes, Mags didn't talk about those. That's what I would do. So, let's share my screen. Oh, now she's gone. I will share my screen. Okay. So, baseball favorites. So, this week we are featuring to celebrate the World Series. Our main feature connection is Mickey Mantle. We'll just go from there. Hopefully, Mags come back at some point. If not, we'll just be by ourselves. That's okay. Just so you know, I can't see your comments if you're commenting stuff, but I'll try to go back to see them. So, Mickey Mantle, born 1931 in Oklahoma, died 1995 in Dallas, Texas, professional baseball player for the New York Yankees. Also known as the Commerce Comet and the Mick. Let's see. He played for his entire career for the Yankees and he was a center fielder and first baseman from 1951 to 1968. He was elected to the Major League Baseball All-Century team in 1999 and inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. Okay. So, that's our main feature connection Mickey Mantle. Next we have Don Mattingly, more than 1960s. And then Deanna, the youngest of five children. He was an American professional baseball first baseman, coach and current manager of the Miami Marlins. Nicknamed the Hitman and Donnie Baseball. He spent his 14-year career playing with the New York Yankees and later managed the Los Angeles Dodgers for five years. I've seen the Miami Marlins play since I am from there. Next we have Pete Rose. He's an all-time Major League Baseball Leader. He's the all-time Major League Baseball Leader in the amount of hits, which is 4,256 games played 3,562 at bats, 14,053 singles, 3,215 at outs. 10,328 and won a whole bunch of awards. World Series Titles, Golden Gloves, National League of the Year, Most Valuable Player. And he played for the Cincinnati Reds, the Philadelphia Phillies, Montreal Expos, and the Cincinnati Reds again. Cut is Pete's Rooms. Next we have Jackie Robinson. Born in 1919 in Georgia. Most widely known as the baseball player for the Brooklyn Dodgers who broke Major League's baseball color barrier in 1947. He was not the first black professional baseball player, but he was the first in Major League Baseball. He played for six World Series teams and earned six consecutive All-Star Game nominations during his career. And in 1947 he was named the Sporting New Brickie of the Year Award. He was also strong supporter of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and he played himself in the biographical film, the Jackie Robinson Story. Next we have Jackie Mitchell or Bernie Beatrice for 1913 in Tennessee. So let's see. In the spring of 1931 Jackie attended Norman author Albert Fields Baseball Camp in Georgia. Started school three years earlier working with children. He developed into professional training ground including some students who were already professional players. Jackie was the first woman to attend. Shortly after Jackie was signed as a pitcher for the Chattanooga Lookouts as a Southern Association and AA team by owner Joe Engel. She was noted for curbing sinker or drop ball. Jackie first took the mound in an exhibition game against the Yankees on April 2nd, 1931 after striking out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in seven pitches. She walked Tony Lazarie and was retired to the bench for the remainder of the game. Very cool. And then apparently there's a video on her profile of Jackie striking out Babe Ruth. I guess Mag is not coming back. How sad. And I see what you guys have been saying. Hold on. Let's see. Let's see. So you're just saying how close... Yeah, tell me how close you guys are. And then I'll just keep going through and then we'll do the photos and unless Mags comes back we'll probably be a short morning. Okay. So next we have Joe DiMaggio born 1914 in California. Nicknamed Jolton Joe and the Yankee Clipper was an American major league baseball center fielder who played his entire 13-year career for the New York Yankees. So we have two New York Yankee people so far in our profiles. He's perhaps best known for his 56 game hitting streak from May 15th to the July 16th in 1941 a record that still stands. He was a three-time MVP winner and all-star in each of his 13 seasons. During his 10-year with the Yankees the club won 10 American league pennants and nine World Series championships. And then we have Alex Ferguson born in 1897 in New Jersey. Was an American major league baseball player and one of the first forkball specialist in ball history. Forkball, forkball. What is forkball? Let's look that up. Oh, it's a type of pitch and baseball related to the split finger basketball. There you go, mine's something new. We have Johnny Bench born in 1940s, 1947. He was a 1965 valedictorian of Banger High School. Played both basketball and baseball while growing up. He was named Allstate in baseball and was drafted by the San Diego AAA Cincinnati farm team of the Pacific Coast League. And he played his rookie year with the Cincinnati Ritz. And we have Daniel Staub born in 1944 in Louisiana and died 2018 in Florida, West Palm Beach. He was an American professional baseball player and television color commentator. He played in major league baseball for 23 seasons as a right fielder, designated hitter, and first baseman, a six-time Hall-star known for his hitting prowl wrists. And he was an original member of the Montreal Expos. And he was inducted into their team Hall of Fame for the 1986 for the Mets. He also played for the Mets. We have two more. So we have Honis Wagner. Magda sent me a message saying she's not coming back because her leg is very bad. So we'll just, we'll just keep going. So Honis Wagner, born in 1874 in Pennsylvania, known as the Flying Dutchman. We, hey guys, there's a team. I don't know. This reminds me of one of our Thon teams, Flying Dutchman. So he was an American baseball shortstop who played 21 seasons in major league baseball from 1897 to 1917, almost entirely for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He also won eight batting titles tied for the most National League history with Tony Gwynn. He also led the league in slugging six times and in stolen bases five times. And he was nicknamed the Flying Dutchman due to his superb speed and German heritage. And we have our last one, Tom Siever. Born in California in 1944. He's nicknamed Tom Terrific and the franchise. And he is a former major league baseball player, Pitcher. He pitched from 1967 to 1986 on four different teams, primarily noted for his time with the Mets. During his 20 year career, he had 311 wins, 3,640 strikeouts, 61 shutouts, and a 2.86 earned run average. And in 1992, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the second highest percentage ever recorded. Very cool. Those are all of our profiles of the weeks. Let's go back and see what you guys are saying. To anybody see how close I was, I can go check. Do my mom say how close she was to people? My mom is 23 degrees from Joe. Oh, Greg is leaving by Greg when he left earlier. Who married Marilyn Monroe? John, what did I miss? Now, Tommy says his connection has changed since he first made his post, which is likely people will go on and see the profiles of the week and then start working on them and then new connections will be made. Well, a lot of them are through my mom's side and Robinson through my dad's side. Oh, DiMaggio married Monroe. Okay, thank you. I should have probably known that, but I'll just clarify. Well, my mom also said early win is my dad's distant cousins and a picture for the White Sox. So those are our profiles of the week. We'll do the photos really quick. And then I'll do a brief update for the weekly tree challenge and then we will head out as, you know, when I'm by myself, you know, I have you guys chatting with me in the chat, but it's not the same for Mag, when Mag is not here. Okay, let's look at the photos. This week, the theme was reunion. Hold on, let me show the screen again. Reunion. Hold on, people are probably posting family reunions. So we have Josie Smith Cavill and children's spouses. She realized I'm not logged into Weekie Tree. That's funny. That's a funny photo. Where is that? In Plymouth, Massachusetts. James Sims. Big family photo. Birgely family reunion. That's a good photo. No animals. I don't see anybody in the windows either. Only have William Nelson and White Sox. Oh, look, and I was going to mention this. If you're tagging people, doing, you know, saying back to left, you know, the order of where people are. So very good. I mean, if you don't know, you don't know, but will Kathleen share this one with us? Her family. World War II-39 bomb group reunion. Very cool. In Richmond, Virginia. Nineteenth birthday in reunion. Another reunion. Some of them are recent. Some of them are old photos. Nice mix. Minnie Belchock-Galloway and family. And then the, actually included in the scan. Who's in the photo? I mean, 28 photos, so a lot of people upload this stuff. A 10-B reunion. The kid is not interested in the photo and he's reading. Miller family reunion. I almost thought this might be at the dog at the bottom, but it does not. Cooksea reunion. Red family. Indiana 1937. A car. I wonder if this was a, oh, first son being tiger reunion in Oregon. The same one. Okay, this is the same. Yeah, the son being tiger's reunion. It's pretty cool. A bunch of cars. L.A. Whistler reunion. They're on a big rock in Pennsylvania. And we have William Satan Young. Senior and family. Dallas, Texas. That's a nice one. That's a big family reunion. And British Columbia, Canada. The given family reunion. It's the women of the family. That's a fun photo doing. Oh, look, a dog. Look, guys. They're doggy. How cute. I wonder if it was a female dog. Here comes my cat. Perry family reunion. They're all labeled. Well, they're numbered. We're not sure. But it's a cute photo. You know, surviving children and Mary McLean. It seems like there's more people listed here than, oh no, just kidding. It almost seemed like there were more names than there were people in the photo. Some grandkids in West Virginia, 1954. That's a lot of grandkids. Those are all her grandkids. We saw that one. Entrain family gathering. Oh, that's cute. I think she uploaded it three times. Oh, June uploaded this one. Thanks, June. And that was it. Those are all our photos. All of our photos of the week. Let's see. See what you guys have said. Well, apparently Thomas, his close connection was DiMaggio. Well, because Marilyn Monroe is a cousin of his. That's cool. I think this is Maggs cheering me on. Or someone cheering me on. Doesn't say the name. I've been to one family reunion in Pennsylvania when I was in middle school. My mom took my sister and I and was our big German side over there. So that was cool. I think we have a photo. Oh, yeah. My mom talked about it. Well, that was back in 1973. We also had one when I was young. So not as far away. That was in 2006. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yes. So let me give you. So this week we are working on Roberta Estes. And she's a big name in in genealogy. If you're not, no, she also she's DNA explained. I believe she does a lot of DNA work and Mindy gave me an update for you guys. So we don't have a lot of brick wall points yet, but we've been carefully scrutinizing all the profiles, making sure they are accurate, their sources, and all the connections are correct. And we also found a few interesting records that we haven't in the past. So check out Wednesday while we wrap up the week for Roberta Estes. Should be should be a good one. Should be a good one. Roberta is a good also always have been a fan of wiki tree. She's some presentations on wiki about wiki tree to good friend of Mags. And yeah, so check out on Wednesday for that. So and then next Saturday, same time, same place. I won't be here next Saturday. So be Mags and I know Julie or Aowyn or Mindy will come on, but I'm going to be out of town. I won't be able to bring my laptop, unfortunately. So I won't see you guys next week. We will see Mags. Mags had her computer was being torn apart and so she was using her laptop. So but she should be all set for next week. I'm actually going to an Oktoberfest thing today. Funny, I have some Oktoberfest time. I will guess I'll see you guys in two weeks, but I'll be around if you need me. Until next time, guys. See you. Goodbye. So sad that Mags has to leave.
