And what for interesting question and lots of fun answers in my foot Facebook feed that I thought that was funny And somebody said Oh Wikitree at Survivor yeah, yeah, I want to play Survivor and wear all wiki tree stuff. Mm-hmm I was gonna I was gonna wear my orange wiki tree shirt t-shirt around the ship one day Yeah, and just to see if there was any other wiki trees who would spot me But it was just it was too warm Oh Yeah, it was too warm.

Well, I think I've gotten everybody. Nope Robert Collins here from Dorset Karen Lorenz is here from Detroit Christine Miller Melody neighbors Chris Farrell. Oh is here. Oh, and I just think I think that's it Survivor games would be fun. That would be fun We could have a survive somebody come up with a game on wiki tree where we could pretend that we're on a desert island together Wouldn't up Greg you wouldn't be spotted in the Netherlands on April the 27th Because everyone wears orange on the 27th of April in the Netherlands. Why is that do we know? Because it's a national day. Yeah. Yeah, my guess I have to get myself together here. I Do you have any any? Do you have any? Feuds in your family lines Greg oh Mike computer my main computer has died so oh that's kind of stupid. So my I'm on Wi-Fi right now Do you guys have any feuds in your family? No, not that I know of that you can talk about that way you're allowed to talk about My my grandmother used to go to the cottage for the summer with her her her sisters and at this point They were all widows and so that would work out well usually but sometimes one of them would get annoyed at one of the other ones So there'd be like a little mini-feud for a couple months when they wouldn't talk to each other, but other than that That's funny in my hometown of Greenville, South Carolina If anybody is watching this from Greenville, you will you as soon as I say the words I'm getting ready to say everyone in Greenville knows about this feud. There was a restaurant out on the Easley Highway and There were two brothers involved in the restaurant will something happen they got mad at each other So one of the brothers left that restaurant bought the property next door Built an identical restaurant with an identical name and had the restaurant on the property exactly nice store And it still goes on to this day. It's been going on forever at that feud. That's what that that's a feud. Oh Wow, you know, you know Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. Oh, so with the question of the week is do you have any family feuds? Are there any family feuds in your tree now a couple of people? Got a little bit close to living people like we're talking about feuds with living people And I'm not really gonna cover those because I don't think that's appropriate and because I'm on my laptop I'm also gonna be scrolling. It's hard for me to switch between screens when I'm on my laptop So I'm gonna zoom down here. Somebody already picked the the best answer and that was yes The Hatfields in the McCoy's The 1880s the 1890s that feud still going on ain't it Did it really end? I don't think it ever end We still talk about it a lot. We do talk about it. So this is from Justin Claire who says My third time's great grandparents were Preston head and Melinda Hatfield head Melinda's parents were my fourth great grandparents John Wiley Hatfield and Matilda Helm Hatfield So the Hatfields and the McCoy's that's pretty crazy now I'm gonna zoom in on this. Apologize. Is this the one? 12 children 1940 left Sparman to be divided among his six boys and nothing was left with six girls So I was a little bit confused by the Discussion of this but I think some of these people may be living and so I'm just gonna show you the picture We're gonna move on from that one. I apologize. I just don't want to talk about anything with living people right now Cuz that's not nice For for me for us, but it's great to see your story if you want to read about it You can go ahead and read about it My Clements family were involved in the Reese Townsend feud Colorado feud Texas and the very first name I go and click on for the This will take me over here to this and It comes up with a name that is William Clements. Oh William Dillard Clements Mm-hmm Yeah, yeah, William Dillard Clements. Sorry. I'm I can't do much of anything on my laptop So, um That's one of my name Dillard. Yeah So I'm thinking that he was named after one of the people who was involved in the Alamo I had a an ancestor not an ancestor but an uncle ancestor who was involved in the Alamo And I'm thinking that people just got named Dillard because of that in Texas So I don't think it's any connection to us, but that there's a lot of really great stuff and some great profiles I'm hoping that this is somebody's well-written Information for this and they don't give any other sources Other than the United States since it would be great to get in there and do some upgrading of the sources for this information But it's great talks about all of this Um, I was really expecting you to to have a feud or two in your house You're you're you're a lot less you're more boring than I thought people There's a lag between me and you that's right I'm gonna say if I get further back in my Irish roots Then maybe there'd be some feuds back there. I could find I Don't know about Irish trees. Did you watch the movie with um, and what was the recent movie? That was a really good movie about the Troubles Let's see my husband's Van Winkle Van Winkle line They have an area of Berea, Kentucky So many many many of these they're talking about is that there were people in Kentucky Which is why I was asking Hillary Gatsby's got one over here Let's see my grandfather fell out with his brother, but I don't know what what it was all about They were both in the merchant Navy. I think it was about something that happened when one of them was away. Oh Let's see Hillary my grandfather fell out with his brother as well I don't know what it was about either just rumors that it was some something financial Money money often gets in the way or marriage You know, what was the what was the story behind that had fields in McCoy's? Um and fear the least you see got your name Thank you, if you're delici There is always is and will always be a few to my family and it's going on today since 1930 Again, we're talking about stuff. That's very recent. So that's a little bit a little bit touchy for me for having Living stuff up there, but you guys can go and read it. I'm just not going to talk about it here this morning It may be the case that in a few between the Rothblisley's and the depertons of Statutor in the 1300s my possible biological family ancestor Hugh did Rough the Slee murdered my possible adopted family ancestor Whoo, that's yeah, the murder murder murder murder will do it. Sorry Murder will do it that'll cause a feud well if there are people people still standing that can be evolved Yeah, and this is this is the one that I thought was It's a really good story, but I really don't want to read it online Read it on on the show. I've been working with Karen Osborne the Osborne goss family feud in the Kentucky Hills again Kentucky mentioned Which lasted from 1864 to 1900? Bad Bill Osborne is suspected of killing at least 20 people himself the story starts with Stephen Osborne So we check that one out too. That's a good long time ago to talk about a feud and We have we have a nickname bad Bill And he killed 20 people now in my book killing 20 people is a serial killer, right? Yeah. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, really oh so and and this is kind of cute not cute but This is like my hometown where the two brothers had the feud the guy bought property next door and built the restaurant next door Two dads had ants that lived across the street from each other and they'd once been close I found through a couple of censuses where they lived together and extorted each other. They had purposefully Moved Purposely moved to two houses across the street, but all my memories were of them not talking to each other Yeah, do you have ants and uncles in your family that don't talk a lot of that stuff goes on too, so there's lots and lots and lots of great things to look at for the question of the week and Do so and enjoy them and I'm gonna move on to Greg and I'm gonna sit back I think and enjoy this this live cast cuz I'm not firing on all my pistons yet. Oh That's too bad Okay, yeah, you take care Mags. Hang out hang around Your story about the restaurants reminds me there's one restaurant That we pass every day going into town and it used to be called Gwen and Eddie's and it was owned by a husband and wife But then apparently they split up But the husband kept the restaurant and he renamed it just Eddie's You Know but it took the sad thing is it took me like a year to figure out why Just Eddie's And not only am I not doing too healthy late my internet's not because I just missed that whole thing But you could tell me Okay Well, maybe it wasn't that amusing anyways, but anyways Your story about the tooth, yeah, yeah go for it So the question of the week was all about feuds and what better way to solve or maybe start a feud is with a boxing match So there you go. So boxers are the theme for this week for the profiles and The reason why we're celebrating boxers is the recent passing on every first. I believe it was of Carl Weathers who was a famous he was an actual boxer as well as an actor and Of course one of his most famous roles or one iconic roles was as Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies And so those are the two and they're also the two that are fighting each other out in the connection finder Contest challenge this week connection combat. Yeah connection combat. Yes, that's right. Yes so who are you closest to are you closer to Carl Weathers or Rocky bubble Sylvester still so let us know because that's the first Okay, round up and and Mags. Are you able to help with scoring or should I I can do it? If I open anything else on my computer it will crash Okay, all right. All right, so I'll I'll I'll tell a score from the chat. So thank you. Yeah, I'll cheer you on Thank you. Okay, so everybody in the chat. Tell us whether you're close to Carl or Sylvester. I Will see if I can post the chat stuff for you guys You guys got your first one Yeah, the first one is wet is Carl Weathers versus Sylvester Stallone So starting with Carl who did pass away 1st of February 2024 at the age of 26 a little more than 276 in Los Angeles and he had been born in the on the 14th of January 40 1948 in New Orleans Of course is a prolific American actor director and professional American football linebacker best known for his roles as Paul Creed Also played Colonel Al Dillon in Predator action Jackson in the movie called action Jackson Chubs Peterson and happy Gilmore and little Nikki Combat Carl in the Toy Story franchise franchise. I love how they got all these great voices for in Toy Story you know, I didn't realize he was combat Carl in the you know the the toys the toy soldier in the and brief cargo in three seasons of the Mandalorian and I'm sure it Chris hasn't already put that in the chat. He would have if I hadn't read it first His father was a day labor His early life in New Orleans was difficult But he earned an athletic scholarship to St. Augustine Catholic High School and Was noted an all-round athlete involved in boxing The ball gymnastics judo soccer and wrestling then moved to California And so unfortunately he had an ankle injury which sidelined him and then he went on to earn his master degrees in his true calling Which was theater arts And you know, I like like a good quote his quote which ends his profile your thoughts shape your reality Choose positivity and watch your world transform into something beautiful. I like that That's a nice and Fighting him in our roundup challenge is Sylvester Stallone who was born in the 40s still alive. So Because a privacy some of this stuff is is hidden except of course when you read the bio, which is his exact birth date Which is July 6th 1946 I was gonna kick out of that Because I mean obviously the first part here the born in 1940s. That's because he's a living he's a living notable and the wiki tree Algorithm the way it works is it has to to privatize it, you know or generalize it But of course in the biography you can put anything and as a notable, you know, your birth date is fair game So people can celebrate on your birthday if you're notable Of course, he was born as Michael Sylvester Gardencio Stallone He's the son of Francesco Stallone and Japan Francis Lobo fish First born grew up in hell's kitchen in Manhattan. I wonder if he knew the devil of hell's kitchen, you know, but Since that's just a superhero that's probably not but anyways interesting What I didn't realize is that because he was born and they used the forceps That's what caused the nerve damage and the paralysis to his lower left left side of his face which also Help was a contributing factor to the slurred speech that he's always had because you know that way he speaks. It's actually because of The his birth. Oh my isn't that interesting that is yeah Yeah, but I mean he fought through all that and despite that went on to like went on to something like acting where your Voice is important and you have to be able to speak clearly enough that people understand you Yeah, you know so Sounds like school was not a fun place for him because his schoolmates call them stinky And of course bullied him because of his paralysis and slurred speech but that one way to deal with that is he turned to the gym became interested in bodybuilding and Well, you know his career he showed them basically, yeah Went on to Miami-Dade College went to Europe Studied in Switzerland Gained career on the stage small parts. He played rocky-bore bull course and that really skyrocketed his career took off after that and Anyways, very nice a very well done profile I won't go through all the details because there's just so much really well done and he's had quite an amazing career The the profile doesn't pull any punches I had to go there, you know Because you know some of his movies did really well and some of them were maybe stinkers Or not as well, but one thing it didn't mention that, you know He has a loyal fan base and so even if the critics didn't like his movies They often still did get lots of audience just because people like right go see them, you know, so Like the expendables for example May not, you know, so it did well, but it may not be them the most critically acclaimed movie, but you know enjoyable Popcorn movies or things so sure good stuff So there we have it now. Did we lose mags altogether? I think we might maybe she's trying to connect to another device or another Yes means of internet Okay, so okay, do you want sure let's let's We have okay, so for Carl Weathers we have 13 Wow, this is this is not before actually they both have 13. It's an even split. Wow Excellent. Oh wait a minute. No, no Chris Ferriero. I'll just tipped it. Okay, wait Chris. No Chris was Never mind. He's the same both. Yeah, the same for both. Okay, so it is 13 to 13 Wow and Myself I'm closer to Sylvester. Are you okay? Well, there you go because I was closer to Carl So now that makes it totally even now. Are you cousins to either of them? I I didn't have a chance to check So there we go, okay, wow, it was a draw Well, I don't think that's happened before no no, it's usually often it's a blowout like one person is Exactly. It's like 19 to 2. Yeah. Yeah, okay. So the next two profiles are the Ali family And his daughter Leila We'll start with Leila since she's the one we're probably less familiar with and of course if your cousins with one You're probably cousins with the other one And Yeah, I suspect most people will be closer to Cassius or Muhammad and then get to Leila through him But I could be wrong. It'd be interesting to be interested in finding out anyone who goes the opposite direction is closer to Leila and then connects to Muhammad Leila your daughter duo makes the connection came up. Yeah, that's Welcome back mags. Hope your device works Um, I gotta figure this out. I will you will I was able to connect briefly With only an iPad from the cruise ship A couple times so I was surprised that it actually worked that way, but you know Were you wearing orange when you did it? What's that? Were you wearing orange when you connected? I was oh, can I say Ask something of people in the chat people in the chat are just saying Muhammad, which doesn't help Oh, no Leila. It's either Leila or Or Muhammad Ali. Yes No, Muhammad would be the father If they if they're closer to the daughter, they'd put Leila Oh, okay. All right Yes, okay That makes sense. I too am Illness compromise Um Yeah, and I don't I am not sick. I'm just regular dopey. So it's you know, I have no excuse for anything Super that comes out of my mouth today Just regularness. Um, anyways Leila widely regarded as one of the greatest women boxers of the all time She was been active from 1999 to 2007 and undefeated in 24 bouts held the wbc wiva Iwbf and the iba female super middleweight titles and the iwbf Light heavyweight title and appeared on numerous television shows including Dancing with the Stars and the Celebrity Apprentice And also authored books on health wellness and cooking Very neat. Now. I don't watch decks for the stars, but I'm wondering if she is as light as a butterfly when she's dancing Um Born December 30th, uh, 1977 in Miami Beach. Um, daughter, of course the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and his third wife Um, raised muslim but no longer practices islam And began her career as a professional boxer in 99 as the summary said at the top Um, if you mean undefeated with 24 wins including 21 knockouts, that's pretty impressive And there we go. So Short and sweet little vial there And then her father her famous father Muhammad Ali Cassius marcellus clay was The name he was given when he was born on the 17th of january 1942 in louisville chefferson Kentucky passed away Again, this is one of those weird ones. He passed away the 3rd of june 2016 at the age of 74, which again is too soon but um 2016 that's eight years ago But I it does not seem that long ago in my mind that he's passed away. Okay. I just Time just seems to be Morph weird that way Anyways known as the greatest was an american world box heavyweight boxing champion in 1966 and then he was stripped of his titles threatened with prison and lost prime years of his career In his ultimately successful fight for his rights as an american citizen He was vindicated. He re won the world championship in 1974 and was the first heavyweight to win the championship three times He's considered the greatest heavyweight boxer in the history of the sport in a position which gave him platform for speaking truth to power So um Yes, very very impressive named for his father who was also cassius marcellus clay Um and named in the honor of this 19th century kentucky slave owner turned abolitionist politician cassius marcellus clay and we have talked about About uh This profile or other profiles connected because I remember talking about that how it was based. Um His naming was based on a politician who became an abolitionist and fought for the rights To send in the slaves of course and with some irish and english ancestry also He was an olympic gold medalist in the 1960 and then won his first world hamper world heavyweight championship in 64 And then it's about that time. He changed. He was affiliated became affiliated with the nation of islam and changed his name from cassius clay to mohammed ali And that presented some uh challenges Um And then uh, but when was when he died president obama referred to his quote That that's the alien ali I came to know as an age not just as a skilled up Not just as skilled a poet on the mic as he was a fighter in the ring But as a man who fought for what was right A man who fought for us stood with the king in mandela stood up when it was hard and spoke out when others wouldn't His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing But it would earn him enemies on the left and the right making reviled and nearly send them to jail But he stood his ground and his victory in the end helped us get used to the america we recognize today so Very very important and very impressive um The profile is really well done It details a lots of stuff including that he was diagnosed with parkinsons Which is was common for Goes with head trauma like goes in boxing and then passed away from respiratory failure in 2016 And I love the photos along the side here. There's one with ronald reagan Uh, I think fake punching him the chin And then him punching the beetles and the meat sort of going, you know fall like And that's cute little one a little betsy jane great house Look a little sweet little old lady. So I'm thinking that's muhammad and would that be his brother or I don't know or france who's helping betsy jane along I'd love to know what the story is behind that photo, but right, right? That'd be really sweet Um anyways, um So how did we do? Yeah, this one was a blow up. Yes Let's see 16 for muhammad and one for leila. Oh, there is one person who's closer to leila Crystal james, I think if i'm not mistaken And as for me to Wait would Leila She wouldn't have a different. I don't see her on my list. Maybe that can't oh, no. Okay. I see her I'm closer closer to muhammad. Okay. Yeah Megs, are you closer to muhammad? Or you haven't looked yet Can you max hear us? I I don't know I can I can pull up mags's profile. That's okay And cousins i'm cousins of both. Are you cousins to? Uh, let's see. Am I cousins to? Uh I am he's my 20 second cousin. Oh, yeah So she'd be your 22nd cousin once removed Exactly through uh the demotomores So he's my 24th cousin. She's my 25th cousins. Interesting. So you're closer Cool. Okay. Next pair our rivals jack demsey and gene tani Okay So jack demsey Was born in manassa in colorado in in the 1885 24th of june 1895 Passed away the 31st of may 1983 at the age of 87 in new york city So he was a son of hyrum depsy and mary smoot Was a world heavyweight boxing champion from 1919 to 1926 In 1950 he was voted the greatest fighter of the past 50 years. So that's the first half of the 1900s He was inducted into the international boxing hall of fame 1990 And he was a former friend and business partner of bobby joe mn zeal It was nicknamed the mensala mauler mensala Men up. No not mensala manassa manassa mauler manassa be The town he was born in In colorado And yeah heavyweight champ from 1919 to 1926 He uh became the champ when he knocked out Other legitimate contenders including former light heavyweight champion Battling levinsky and gunboat smith. They always have fun names, eh? So yes, so put in the chat, you know who you're close to whether you're close Coming in excellent good stuff. Okay. Um So this profile is really well done. So there's a nice picture of him in his prime there jack demsey And a little pair of boxing gloves on his gravestone there um And it talks about his different It talks about his his career. He left home at 16 Travel on freight trains fought to earn money. So that's how he he sort of got a a little bit of his training um He opened up when he finished Uh, let's see. So he went on He had a rematch He fought this guy james tunny um The classic punch. So he was known as a boxer tunny was known as a puncher and um So tunny, uh, let's see He lost the title to tunny Um, when he one of his combinations be fuddled Dempsey they got a rematch tunny was out boxing him got dropped in the seventh round Uh Then he apparently in one of the box's most controversial moments demsey instinctively hovered over tunny waiting for him to get up So he could get you know as soon as he started moving to get up. He would Uh punch him. Uh, apparently they didn't like that and that's when they Uh introduced the rules so they had to send him to When one got knocked down the other person had to be sent to a neutral corner like so away from the ring So to give the guy a chance to get up, you know to make it more of a fair fight um Then it was estimated that tunny was down for 14 seconds before he rose up and that's what began the the long count In box, you know, we go one Do the ref is counting, you know to get If they don't get up I never knew I never knew any of this. That's so cool. Isn't that cool? I'm closer to demsey too. Oh, are you okay? Yeah Very cool. And he's also a cousin Ah neat Uh, and then after anyways after that final fight, which did go to tunny by decision Which means that um, it wasn't a knockout, but the judges had to rule on who won the fight based on Whatever criteria they have Um, uh, tunny did win that and then demsey retired after that And opened a restaurant for himself. What was he called? It was probably called demseys It doesn't say and then there's no picture of the restaurant. That's too bad the restaurant Was open for 39 years Uh, just didn't get close in 74. He passed away in 83 Huh, uh, and was inducted into the boxing hall of fame after years seven years after his death It's all interesting so the competitor the one who knocked him out or not not not well knocked him down and uh Took the title from is james joseph gene tunny Born, uh, again before the turn of the century 25th of may in 1897 new york city and passed away at the age of 81 7th of november 1978 in granitch, uh, canada kit Or do they do they call it greenwich? No granitch. It's they still call Here where I grew up. Yeah Okay Because it is funny because you know Different places pronounce the exact same place name different ways. Oh, I know. Is it like, um, Paris is there the paris in america is Is that some there's there's a french name? That's like, well, if you were in france, you would call it But yeah But there are there's lots of names like that. Yeah um Anyway, so he was born, um competed from 1915 to 1928 held the world heavyweight title from 26 to 28 And a light heavyweight title from 22 to 23. So presumably between 23 and 26. He got heavier Because he could no longer own on the light heavyweight title Born the second of seven children From a irish longshoreman from the working class Uh at the age of 10 his father presented him with his first set of boxing gloves Okay, uh And then he learned to he learned to fight on the streets Um, and then started fighting with the granitch village athletic club at nights Uh attended catholic schools and the sal academy Got first got paid at the age of 18. He earned 18 dollars to fight a more seasoned opponent while in the marines Interesting joined in 18 in 1918 was stationed in france and earned a good good conduct medal Uh, then he fought 68 professional fights losing only once To harry grebb while fighting as a light heavyweight from 22 And that at that and it still went 15 rounds before he lost but grebb broke his nose But could not not knock him out He redeemed himself next year where he he fought and won against grebb majority decision So anyways again a nice long profile which goes into a lots of detail about lots of things his uh His the medals he won during the war And uh, then also other details about uh other fights and stuff. So quite nice He was elected as the ring magazine's first-ever fighter of the year in 1928 Uh, and then elected to the world boxing hall of fame in 1980 and the international boxing hall of 1990 There you go And as usual our hive mind in the chat has come through With lots of information about jack dempsies restaurant. Oh nice. Yeah Um jack dempsies including its location and then vixor Was talking about vienna and Cairo in southern illinois, which also made me think of mylan michigan That was that was the one that i i personally encountered It spelled the same as the city in italy, but they call it mylan. Oh instead of milan Ah So how would you how would you pronounce vienna and cairo? I that i'm wondering about i don't know i you know would they say cairo? for cairo I don't know how you mispronounced vienna not mispronounced how you pronounce it differently Surely those good illinois people eat vienna sausages I've heard it vienna Yeah, I mean it since it's southern illinois. Yeah, there you go. Yeah vienna. Yeah vienna and cairo Cairo Interesting Okay, well, thank you Yeah Never did not know. Okay Um, let's see. Okay. So jack dempsie came out ahead with 18 and Tony only had four there were a bunch of ties. So that's the higher numbers There and then For me i'm oh i'm it's a tie for me Okay, um, you're gonna ask me if i'm cousin Um I'm not a cousin to tunny and am I a cousin to dempsie? And I am but I am a cousin to dempsie Okay, 16th cousin three times removed. Okay, there we go. Um Mags, which one are you closer to? Oh, I think you said dempsie, didn't you? Um, so dempsie wins this fight And the next two profiles are both Australians Which is okay Uh, james leslie darcy. So put either Darcy or rose down James leslie Darcy or linel and rose. So james leslie Darcy or les Darcy um Born on halloween 1895 in stradbroke stradbroke, uh near woodville in new south wales australian 1895 Um, it passed away young very very young 24th of may 1917 at age 21 in memphis, tennessee um But he was the australian boxing champion He held the australian middleweight and heavyweight champion titles at the same time He was inducted into the sports australia Hall of Fame many years after his death in 1985 and the australian national boxing hall of fame in 2003 And numerous articles and books written about his life are listed there um And it doesn't say how he passed away so young Um He's buried with other members of his family at the east maitland cemetery in new south wales, but Yeah, he passed away in tennessee, but was buried in so hmm I should have gone into the wikipedia article to find out But I will leave one of our i'll leave it to one of our wikipedia wiki treeers I was gonna say wikipedia's wiki treeers to delve into this and tell us how he passed away. So so young um While I tell you about the second australian whose profile we're talking about linel ebb and rose A member of the british empire To 2011 born the 21st of june first day of summer 1948 in jackson track victoria australia Passed away just in 2011 8th of may at age 62 in melbourne victoria australia He was the first indigenous australian to win a world boxing championship in 1968 And he was only 19 at the time He beat the bantam weight fighting harada in tokyo japan and the first indigenous australian to be named as australian of the year Also in 1968 So that's very impressive. It was a uh, he was born to roi rose who himself was a skilled fighter and regina rose those are his parents um 21st of june the seven seven where they Where he was born, uh, was just three miles from the laboratory. Um, where he went to school until it was When he was aged eight He was born in a one-room tin hut and then moved to a two-room weatherboard house Um when he was ten He did not den school very often Um He says he has a poor he had a poor work ethic and only committed to his love of boxing And then he as an amateur he trained under frank oaks when the australian amateur Championship in 63 when he was only 15 years old And then in 64 he was the runner-up in the bantam weight championship And he just missed it by this much to getting into the olympic games in 64 um But then his boxing career is detailed in wikipedia 53 fights all together um this trainer is jack renny and um In 68 he was also, uh, so he won the championship in 66 and then 68 Uh, he was awarded the mbe for his services to boxing and successfully defended his world title on two more occasions Until he eventually did lose it to another fighter Always happens, right you you can't be on top forever So someone has to eventually you've passed the crown on and that happened to him in 69 in mexico Uh, after his boxing career became a successful businessman, um then suffered a stroke in 2007 sadly, um passed away in 2010 Uh, or 2011 i should say there we go So neat and there's a little statue of those erected for in victoria neat It's neat. I like it. It's neat that they have a picture of him, you know in his prime when he was You know when he would have been a champion and stuff too um And you can see Nope, sorry. Yeah I'm so laggy. I shouldn't even try and talk That's he died darts. He died from septicemia and medical complications It's not a nice death Oh, that's horrible Yeah Oh, so I wonder if he was in an accident or something and then You wonder if maybe he had some injuries from fighting. What was he doing in Memphis? Look that up, please. What was he doing in Memphis? Yeah, interesting Oh, that's too bad. I mean that's way too young Uh anyways, how how did our wiki tears do? Uh 16 for Darcy and one for rose Only one Yes, and vixor was saying that he uh thought that uh rose was going to be the closer connection based on the surname But it was not No, no Yeah, I well with the indigenous roots The I mean, we probably don't have that many indigenous Australians on wiki tree yet Um, so your best bet would be through other connections probably, right through cc. Right, right So for me One minute Darcy is closer for me 22 degrees Darcy closer for you two mags Yes And Either of them cousins Darcy is not And rose No, neither for me Okay Moving on travelers is how I group the the next pair Um Because they both uh, they were born they born and died. They were both born and died in different countries They died in a different country than they were born in. In fact, they didn't Um, they spent there and spent they they boxed in different countries than they were born in in fact, um, so Starting with john schultle douglas Douglas it was my my birth name. So I thought oh and I am a distant cousin Uh, not as close as um, you know, so he's not we're not like this, but Uh, interesting, uh A douglas john schultle douglas who was also known as the ninth marquess of queensberry was born in florence tuscany In what became italy italy, uh, italy wasn't a country yet in 1844. So that's why it's florence tuscany But uh in what would become italy 20th of july 1844 passed away at the age of 55 31st january of 1900 in london newland He was a british nobleman Remembered for his atheism his outspoken views and for lending his name to the queensberry rules that form the basis of modern boxing Um, and also he has a he had a part to play in the downfall of the irish author wild Which is uh So it's an it's a very interesting read this profile. So this guy here, um born in florence And in 20th of july 1844 Uh, his father died he joined the royal navy as a cadet and trained aboard the gunnery trip of hms industrious Uh, he spent and then he went on to the britannia. He became a midshipman and promoted the sub-left tenant Uh, finally discharged from the royal navy in 1864 then graduated from cambridge university Uh And he was also an amateur boxer and one of the finest amateur boxers of his time at one point and then he went on to To tour and promote the sport of boxing And the main outcome of this poor was the development of the rules of boxing which were named for him queens He didn't necessarily make the rule He didn't write them up But they he lent his name to them because of his prestige Because he was a marquesse which is a royal title Or it's a nobility. It's a title of nobility, which is uh, let me think it's above just a regular lord Below a prince. So it's somewhere in there. I'm not sure whether it's above or below a mark a buy count Uh, uh anyways buy counts a pretty pretty high rank. I think yeah, it is. Yeah, so I think it's but um It is above the lord and lady because I remember it one I think in down nabby the the middle sister ended up marrying a marquesse So her title was officially higher than Than lady mary who was the older sister Oh, no That would start a feud Well, it was it was a but you know, it was the only the only thing that she ever had That where she beat her sister In the end they let her have it So So, I mean you've heard of I even I have heard of the queensberry rules for box and I had no idea what they are I don't know what they are, but you know, this is the guy um But the uh, it goes on it also talks about how his connection with oscar well Well, he wasn't connected with oxen while but one of his sons uh associated with them and The dad this guy obviously did not like that and so um Took him to court and reading the in reading the profile though. It talks about how he was Uh, divorced because of adultery and the rules around adultery. So isn't it a bit hypocritical? Oh, oh Yeah, totally totally. Yes. Yeah, you know, but Anyways, so it's very uh anyways interesting person Not sure who do we talk about more in our lives these days than oscar wild, you know Wait, we know more about oscar wild than we do jong shilko douglas. That's exactly it. Yeah, that is so true Yeah, and I'm closer to douglas. So are you okay? Cool. Uh, and so am I and I'm um James archibald mclarnan though, um born in 1907 19 december in hillsboro, ireland And passed away the 20th of october 2004 at the age of 96 I think he wins for the most long lived of our profiles this week. Um in richland and washington u.s Uh, but he moved to canada. So here's our canadian cana canadian content I gotta have one gotta have some canadian content. Um His father was from dublin moved to alberta canada worked in rattle ranches Uh retired returned to ireland when he opened a butcher shop and here he met and married his mother uh, the father opened a second end furniture shop and uh, then He uh, he ran into a former professional boxer Charles pop foster who Became his eventually became his manager and then it talks about this is a really neat profile And i'm not going to go into all the details, but it sort of reads almost like Like the rocky movie, you know it details his career. There's even pictures of his training Like this is really really nicely done. Um little little snippets of home life there. Um, so very cool Tough time isn't his life the best part was uh, one of the things is one of the best parts of his, um when he he got his uh His championship was that his 71 year old father was there to see it Oh, isn't that neat or when he was honored for something? Yeah, so that's that's very cool Um anyways really nicely done profile here For someone a professional boxer After he retired from boxer he became an actor and he worked with uh, spencer tracy and gene furlough So that's pretty cool. That's that's a nice pivot. Isn't nice. Yeah, and died at 96. So there we go Uh, so i'm closer to douglas and uh, kin to douglas Okay And um, well, let me let me just see for me Um, oh douglas is my closest at 15 degrees Okay Yes cousin and then Mclearnon Where is he? Um, significantly farther and not a cousin Okay, okay. Now would every uh, I think I scanned the chat I did not see anyone say they were more closely connected to Mclearnon Wow, so I have 18 to 0 Wow, I know Oh Mclearnon. Oh Yeah I'm the Canadian. Well Hauler Hauler if I missed you if you said you were closer to jimmy fit. Oh, no Let's see. What a beautiful profile though. Okay. Let's look at his Uh I don't see ancestors there. I go to his tree outs Let's switch to the fan shirt Oh, well, there we go. We just had his parents. We don't go further back There we go that would explain it There's a nice little project Yes It's a connection. Yeah, let's connect that. Yeah, let's do that. Connection is coming up next month. Oh, there we go Yeah, we have a project for people. Okay last pair. Oh my goodness Uh Where's uh the last one, uh, I just grouped them as fighters. Um Quite it's because they both they sort of they both they both had to fight through their career um Not only in the ring, but outside Jack johnson born 31st of march 1878 in galveston, texas passed away at age 68 in the 10th of june 1946 in raleigh north carolina He was the galveston giant the first black world heavyweight boxing champion And he competed during the jim crow era. So that's um That's basically the era between the end of the civil war, right and the fight for um for rights Martin Luther king means he couldn't stay in the hotels or places where he fought. Yeah Got lots of other stuff. Yeah big time um Yeah, so in born 78 He was recorded in the census in 1900 again, it's a long this is a again. It's a well done Profile gives lots of details about his life and his boxing career Outlines each of the major points Fighting box tommy burns was apparently a french canadian He got uh He was jail. He he he was arrested for fighting in texas Because that was illegal to box in texas at one point There was lots and then When he won a fight and then won the title Because of that There was outrage that he had taken the title from a white person, of course, because this was during that time when that would not be Not as kosher And so there were people trying to who got the title back Would fight him so they get the title back Did a little bit of wrestling And then it goes through the details about his personal life. So he he had lots of fights in his life His personal life was not a pretty one either his So Notable but had a hard hard go And the next guy Lambertus stearnhorst van claveren From the netherlands known as bep the dutch windmill Born as an illegitimate son of an innkeeper's daughter under the name stearnhouse Eventually took on the name of of his mother's Husband who's she married I guess after He was born Worked as a butcher's boy and boxed in the spare time and when he was 16 he started serious training competing officially Interesting he became a vegetarian even though he was a butcher's boy Feeling it would improve his boxing abilities He was a flyweight and then went won three titles of featherweight Had olympic success in 28 1928 that is It was presented to the dutch queen in her prince consort There's a nice picture of him and his stance and anyways that goes on to talk about He returned to america after world war two broke out And then he fought his last bot in about in 1956 Ran a cigar shop, but failed as a businessman unfortunately So and there's a statue of him in ronardin That's him and how did our youtubers wiki treers do? Um Seems a little light. Um, let's see. We had 10 for jack johnson mags also is closer to johnson And we had two for bep, um, you know, uh, not surprisingly and uh, susie karda through Her mother-in-law's dutch ancestors. Ah, neat. Yeah, I thought that way. That's very cool. Yeah Very cool. Um, and as for me Um, well it was johnson bep is my farthest so okay And johnson jack johnson wins this bout and that is your profiles That's your boxing wrap up for the week And that's as close to a sports sports cast as you'll ever hear from me.

Um, you know what? I'm gonna I'm gonna pull it up Pull up the text on my ipad so that I can Show you as much of the pictures as possible Um So this is the seed the 1950 51 season Her father's junior football team ended on top of their league with the same number of points as another another league So of course you needed a playoff game The special thing was that this game was to be played at the olympic day Uh In amsterdam at the olympic stadium So it was a one-day sports spectacle that showcased different sports with appearances of athletes like Fanny blankers kuhn the nash the dutch national football team Gymnastic demonstrations and equestrian events just a big deal And this playoff football match So their foot the match ended in a series of draw Ended in a draw so they had to do a series of penalties To make the decision And the way it was done then is these penalties were taken by one player of each team not like a rotation of different players So her father was the penalty taker for his team and according to him This might be a tall tale. He scored 22 times in a row. Whoo Before the other team missed and they became champions Wow Yeah, these are these are really spectacular. Yeah, and her father is the tall guy. I read that Yes, that's important to know. Wow. Yeah, full head over the others Yeah, I'd want him on my team Looks like a good athlete So thank you yoke And then let's see now There's a just the um and fiora d'alisi put put something on the free space page And described it on The g2g so title is historical amateur football game 1931 This is a tillio fiora d'alisi's furniture football team They were the first amateur football team to play in the cleveland stadium.

I know juda is in the chat with us. So that's great. Um That you're able to be here while we look at um Your grandfather Chauncey walling bradford 1901. He actually both Was born and died in march Yeah, and there's a really special story that she shares in the g2g post Um, she said I never got to meet him when he was alive, but I didn't meet him one time Paradoxical. Okay. Here's what happened. Um in high school. I was having what what are called panic attacks One day sitting on our front porch. I saw a man dressed in old fat in old fashion style brown suit with bowler hat I heard him say it's okay. You'll be fine from that day on the panic attacks were gone I knew it was my grandfather so And after that it it sort started a lifelong curiosity and quest to find out more about him um from her her grandmother and um her mother and um She said that there's some some um People in the family now living who have are spinning her middle brother is the spinning image of him Um, and they even have the same stance and expressions To them and I think that's that's really cool though when that happens in uh in families Um resemblances are incredible. Yeah, I interject something really funny real clean. Yeah I got in I got into the The elevator at roots tech There's a mother and a father and a daughter standing there and I looked at the mother and daughter and I said oh my gosh I love genetic People who look so much alike each other, you know mother and daughter and they all just burst out laughing and the girl says well I'm adopted But they did acknowledge that they looked a lot alike She said that the lady helping or the person helping them with the adoption originally Said that the mother of the baby and the adoptive mother could have been sisters Huh. Yeah. All right. Go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry. Oh, no, that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah, um, so The other thing that just shared is um that her mother's favorite memory of of chauncey Is was when they went to the library together every saturday It was their time together and some of her earliest memories of her mom and her going to the library Same things and you know, there's a big love of books on her mother's side of the family, which I can relate to I love books too So, um, there are some it's a um, I think there are some nice photos as I recall Yeah Him and his brother Yeah and him and his wife Or sister, I guess wife um And hence so so thank you very much judeff Nice. Yeah uh, and then our second ancestor to celebrate uh was shared by um, shonda feathers Um, and this is her third great grandfather john henry howell Um, yep, you're seeing it good. Okay Um, he was born march 22nd 1822 and I think it's it's really Great that she got this photo him Um, it's a little grainy, but it's it shows a you know, I like this so um And um, she knows she knows things about him But it's a brick wall for her right now because she has not found his parents yet And uh, so she's working on that. She said she's undertaken a big DNA research project to try and break that down Uh, he was a coal miner in Ohio uh, and also served in the Let's see 15th the 15th regiment in uh in the civil war. Yeah 15th regiment Ohio infantry And this regiment was considered one of the very best in the service As they were in the heat heat of conflict and saw many battles And he and his son both served in that infantry and both survived So they lived um after the war they lived briefly in Illinois But then came back to Ohio and uh, and that's where he lived out the rest of his life um, I also thought that this was wonderful, um Have this um clipping of his obituary Nice. Yeah Yeah So shonda good luck with the brick wall. I have a question. I have a question about that profile scroll back up real quick Uh, I'm gonna return to the profile. Okay, right. There you go. Well There's been a lot of conversations scroll down a bit There's been a lot of conversations about whether people should use tables or not use tables I'm I'm pro table and I especially like the way these tables look without the borders Yes Being a visual learner. I like seeing things in a way that I can separate the stuff from it Don't know how you guys feel about it, but I think these tables look fabulous They do they do look very nice I agree and and I like the fact that shonda's added in notes, you know annotations to highlight certain things I had a question though In the 1850 census the family the relationships within the household are not defined, right? Isn't you have to still have to infer What says relation wife son Son son son. Yeah, I just I just in the 1850. Yes. It does say it. It does. Okay. Okay Yeah Shonda is a graphics pro Yeah, maybe we could find out how how uh To accomplish these maybe that would be a good tip For yeah, well, there is this the table maker now as part of the wonky tree browser browser extension. I wonder if she used that Interesting interesting. It's good and also to see it without the borders makes it look so much Yeah, right because normally when when I add tables or I've seen tables that's with the border and just Removing those lines. It's still visible. You can still Parse it visually, but it's not. Yeah, there's something nicer about it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Great work shonda. Mm-hmm. And I like how Move the sticker that's relevant to the relevant portion. Yes of the bio. Yeah Yeah Very nicely done Yes, I agree All right, and um last um, I thought I'd share my grandfather And look at this I'm having issues with the wallpaper on this and now it's displaying exactly the way I wanted to So I will explain so this does everybody see this the scroll? Yeah, so I lose thank you. He did this that was his hobby was chinese calligraphy and so I used the the scroll as the wallpaper for the profile, but The bit on the right and this is his name And this is his chop stamp, which is you know, just a stylized version of his name This doesn't always show It's like and I don't understand why it's so random. What a beautiful beautiful profile Yeah, thank you. Thank you. So his birthday would have been tomorrow um 1896 born in Taipei and He was he was a uh doctor He was the son of a flower farmer, which I I find charming and Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa flower farmer Yes, he grew flowers or he grew flowers for flowers. That is so cool. I know I know it's Wow Yeah, makes me think of him bringing beauty into the world Yeah, I was gonna say what a great what a great life of beauty, you know, that's so cool Yeah, um, but my grandfather was definitely the one of the of the the children who is just really he had this like interest in academics and So he went on to study medicine. Um, the family was um One of the early christian families in Taipei. So this is cool that Are you seeing you seeing the this certificate? Yeah, this is his baptismal certificate. Oh, wow. Yeah um, and so, um, it reads from Right to left. So it starts over here. Um, I I know that this is his name Um, and so this must be his father and his mother So it's um, one of my cousins passed this on to me and just sort of like Sort of just casually one day. Oh here you might like this Yeah I said, are you kidding me? What you have to translate the whole thing for me. So, um, it was it was really, uh Great to have that and the other thing that um, he did Which I thought was very meaningful was he it was uh, he helped at the leprosy colony in Taipei, Taiwan north of the city. Um, he both, you know Practiced and helped the patients as well as serving on the board of directors So I I I think this photo is so interesting because I mean you all know my name is co ko Which is how my dad decided to spell it coming to the united states, but you can see here That this is my grandfather here. I mean, I know it's him But it's a different it's a different transliteration Which is how you would say the name in taiwanese so Yeah Nice. Yeah So you've got a comment from vicki here that says she doesn't like to use wallpapers But it looks awesome. Betsy, especially knowing that he made it Yeah You've got of their love coming your way to bet see this profile really adds a global perspective to wiki tree. Yeah And I was trying to look at the family resemblance I don't want to be the eyes. I'm playing Yeah, yeah, well here's I you know, I didn't get to to meet him a lot Because we live so far away, but a couple of times he came to visit so We got on Yeah, look at that. Nice. Oh my gosh, you look like you're in love So Um Anyway, there we have our ancestors for march, but we have several more weeks of march. So we want I know Don't talk canada that because it'll snow.
