Uh, if you want to it's free. Um, and so yeah published authors That's the question of the week Question of the week is um and as may be able to may may be able to grab that for you to get you that some that link, um Have you do you have any poets? in your family tree Poets authors Yeah, I don't I don't think I share a birthday with robert service who was a famous poet. Canadian poet. That's a cool. That's a cool thing. Yes. Yeah Um, oh Yeah, I I we don't have a lot of writers. We did have somebody who wrote a family history Back in the 1920s, but a lot of the stuff that was in that book has been disproven Um, but it's still a good book like she confused She confused her Great great grandfather with her great grandfather In the book and I thought oh, that's that's too bad. It was her grandfather Who was the revolutionary war hero not her great grandfather the guy that we share So that was an interesting thing to see that she had gotten that wrong. So All right, so she's the only one but we have people here on wiki tree who who have um Thank you Uh, the question of the week somebody put up gutta Yeah, really, uh, richard and emily. So he he listed a whole bunch of people gutta uh, carl hess freedrick uh, hegel uh Nicholas van Eek So he listed a lot of people and okay, so I wanted to check that out You weren't quite you didn't think he was actually descended from gutta Well, no, I didn't want to check his I don't want to verify his stuff. But yeah, that's right I have read gutta. I have read gutta in his original old german as a matter of fact I have it over there on my shelf. Wow. Um, yeah So he is my 18 times cousin five times removed if you're uh Oh, yay vicki's already got her book If you've got connections to gutta, that's great. I just thought it'd be fun to take a look at his profile again We had so much fun doing that last week. Greg liked it during the mutiny. Yeah It was yet So Gertr was born in frankfurt on main right side frankfurt heiligirl romanish Reich And he is died in weimar, but this is a nice profile. He's notable. So obviously he has a pretty nice profile good picture of him Um, and it just goes through here and it gives you the wolfgang van gutta Gilt us on a the And But we can scroll down here and we can see the english version of that He is considered to be one of the greatest poets and novelists of all time. He truly Affected me In his writing. I liked him Anyway, so he's got a nice beautiful profile there and he's got lots of stuff linked to other things Which is great It's got the wiki data stuff The second one that we're going to take a look at let me scroll on over here is Kirby drake has a link to His great grandmother hazel livingston was an author Starting in the 20s when it was often illegal for women to do so. So let's see if I've got this correct um, no I'm gonna find where she is All right, there we go. Hazel fey livingston. What a great profile this is and also You know when somebody posts a profile, you don't know how colorful they really are that they were pretty colorful So look at this check this out. She's a cousin of course. Um, but she was married like five times Collins Lane Hayden piece and um, she's got early life marriage children. She's got uh, some Livingston stuff on here the livingston tartan. Somebody got her birth certificate. They've got some of those Either you hate it or you love it tables. Yeah, that's right on uh, but I tell you what, um Getting the shonda told me how not to put the the border on there and I'm very excited about that I've been doing that lately, but she's got a great picture here. She talks about the marriage and the children they have that um, kind of Done gila baby picture. Um, but here this is my favorite. Um in the whole thing Uh hazel and loroy fled chicago to get away from al capone Oh, that's great. Wait, that's not the worst of it and returned to montana with their two children William came with her and is said to have swindled the state of montana out of its timber All right, okay, so He may have adopted another pseudonym during this time as he disappears from records that's She's said to have fled with william as well. So this was a really colorful colorful person. That's neat That's a great, uh profile. Um, and the the next one I wanted to do. Let's see. That's hazel um I don't know why i'm stuck on that one My 11th great grandfather was a guy named william shakespeare Oh, yeah, diana christman. That's pretty cool Did I have another one? Yeah Um, and then uh, let's see. Let's see if I can core correlate. Maybe this is an Hemingway Yeah, um William shakespeare and then I didn't realize shakespeare had kids But I guess it must have well and george washington didn't Yeah, see that's what i'm thinking like there's a lot of famous people that just that don't have kids like george washington didn't but there's a brand new um Um, I had it on my phone They did they dug up his brother's family not his brother They were trying to find his brother and they found all sorts of information Through dna with all that stuff and wiki tree or roberta estes worked on the pedigree collapse for that Stuff it's all over the news. So go check out george washington's stuff And this one was yes me. I published uh a magazine and and scholarly scholarly journals that from patty allman There are a lot of people who had that listed. Yes. I I am the author, which is why I asked a few were of Yeah, uh, but the last one I had up was and Dudley broad street. She's my fourth cousin 13 times removed But she is the earliest known enough. I didn't get who posted this But she is the earliest known female writer in the americas earliest known I'm sure that some of the oral traditions of some of the indigenous people are really older, but She was and brad street. She was born and dudley in far cotton north hampton england in 1612 So she was in the united states very early She died in and over essex massachusetts bay colony in 1672 So she survived a lot of stuff and I don't know look at the picture that they have from a book Wow, she does not look happy But she doesn't look sad. She looks quite contemplative in that picture. That was exactly the word. I was thinking of contemplative Yeah, he's got a big old chain arena chain of keys there Yeah, she was uh, she was an administrator So it was fun and this is a great profile another good one They even give us a little bit of to my dear loving husband If ever two or one then surely we if ever man were loved by wife then thee If ever wife was happy in a man compare with me yeoman if you can So that's pretty funny Yeah, the prize I love more than whole minds of gold Or all the riches that the east duff hold So there you go. That's very nice. That's the question of the week Right, so i'm gonna stop my share Okay, and hand it hand it over to greg clark Who has to find his cursor There we go. That's those I bet the bunny rabbit has it the bunny rabbit has it. Yes the easter bunny stole my cursor Yes, because uh easter coming along the whole happy holy saturday to everyone except for those in australia new zealand where it's probably already It might already be easter sunday um, yes So, um, yes, and for some of us holy week has been a very busy week, but Here I am And we're ready to go So the question of the week is rabbits or the connection of the week is all about rabbits and the Connector the connector connection challenge is about two rabbits in particular mel blanc and jennifer goodwin mel blanc of course was the voice of bugs bunny and Jennifer goodwin played officer judy hops in zootopia Which i've never actually seen have you seen zootopia? I have not apparently it's a series and But it's all it's all about I mean zootopia the Characters are all animals of sorts and so she is a police officer and assigned to Uh investigate different things, but anyways, there's bugs in And officer hops so now last week during the mutiny Um Mags and guests um decided not to use the uh The spreadsheet, uh, I have got the spreadsheet set up Um, but I thought I heard the complaints and the hardships that I was putting my co-host through for all of this New people who join us regularly you lovely people on youtube who love to Oh and look at their sandy one of the mutineers is in the chat You lovely people on youtube take part and enjoy I believe you know responding to the thing but responding to the thing You know to the to the challenge and and letting us know who you're closer to as I pair people up in the profiles So but apparently the hosts don't enjoy Maybe we do some crowdsourcing And we would let the people in the chat You know keep track and then when it comes time to you know find the scores I'm sure one of our keen wiki trees will have keep Can do a little tally and will let us know so that maybe you don't and and says she loves the spreadsheets Well, come on and come on and where to go and I think that if we continue to do the spreadsheets with the hosts involved That's the hosts that we should have a calculator So and come on you can be our calculator and that's right tally all this stuff That's what I'm thinking so we need to crowdsource some of the the calculations. So Let's try that. So first of all so everyone who's in the chat, please let us know Are you closer to mel blanc or jennifer goodwin? So you can either put blanc or goodwin biscuit biscuit Okay, so mel blanc. I think we have taught. I I'm pretty sure we have gone through mel blanc before. I think he's been um Profiled before because I this is all very familiar to me score. He was born on the 30th of may 1908 in san francisco son of frederick and eva um and Of course, he's most famous as a voice actor and radio personality best known for his work with warner brothers um is the waspley wabbit bugs bunny as well He's also done the voices for daffy dot porcupig tweedy bird and more Often referred to as the man of a thousand voices um My teacher influenced his surname spelling changing Changed his name from blank blan k See how his father has spelled his last name with a k changed it to the french blanc so that uh because of a Um a nasty remark. He said that you'd never amount to anything with a last name like blank That's a that's a rude thing for a teacher to say to a kid. I would never say you know Teachers were much ruder back in the day Yeah, well, you know Yeah, I think so I think sometimes they They believe more in the what's the word not harsh. Um Tough love My uh, high school home room teacher that I had all four years of my high school life Was a tough love teacher. Yeah. No Anyways, he was a regular on the network show the jack benny show Did lots of stuff. Sadly, he passed away From complications from his smoking habit and which resulted in emphysema Which is not a fun way to go in coronary heart disease, but he did live to be 81. So that's Pretty good. Um anyways, well beloved character and characters that he voiced And the other the other connection challenge is jennifer goodwin who played officer Judy hops in zootopia Yes She's my closest she's your closest so she's just one closer for me as well Um And I must confess I haven't seen zootopia yet, but I'm intrigued so I think I will check that out She's actually a cousin of mine a distant one through a french connection Um, I wonder if it's the same french connection that sandy paddock has she discovered I when I rewatched last week I noticed she discovered she has a friend some french roots there. So that's kind of cool Um, of course, she's still alive and acting um, I saw The part I know about her is the when she played snow white In once upon a time, which I enjoyed that series and turns out she's married to prince charming The person who played prince charming from that series was so that's kind of cool. Oh, that's fun Yeah, it is But her profile is very tiny because she is still alive But there is a link to her imdb page and also a wikipedia page. So you can find out more about her there so let's see so We are both here jennifer and she is my cousin. Are you cousin to either of these two? um, I am ninth cousins twice removed jennifer okay, and then and then Nothing to melvin drum block okay, so as In the chat, who's been keeping track? Do we know what the score is for? Oh Oh, it looks like someone said Oh, no, that's just they're just giving their own scores. Yeah. Oh, yeah people are I'm just sharing what everybody said Has anyone tallied at the number of the scores? Ann Didn't I hit an with that stick? Yeah, and what's what's the stats and How do I Oh, did you put the or did I did I I didn't read I didn't erase those from last week those that's 13. Uh, those are last we didn't do it last week. Remember there was a Right. Okay. So that's it's a tough. Oh, sandy says it's a tie No way Okay, so apparently no no everybody is more related to mel. Uh, I mean to jennifer good one Okay Both and let's see good one both good one Good one mel block. There's one there's one. Um Good one good one mel block good one mel block Oh, I should have been keeping track of how many times you said good one block I've heard three blocks so far good both good one mel block That's it. Good one Okay, it's not not too bad. I don't think okay. I'm gonna say that it was about five to 12 I didn't actually I didn't actually count the numbers that you were saying. I was loud. Sorry No worries. Okay. There we go Uh, moving on melony mccown. We need to add her in there melony. Uh, look 24 degrees from Good one for me. Nice Good, okay The next pair are two people who played or um There we go. They're voice voice act Authors on the same authors Authors of stories with bunnies or rabbits in them. So dick brunand Um wrote a story and his Character was miffy and here's a picture of miffy The bunny. Oh Isn't that sweet sweet little bunny What's his little mouth? Oh, that's his nose. That's his nose. Sorry. Yeah, that's his nose. My little cursor was over top of that Yeah, that's his nose and George Richard George Adams is famous because he's the author of Watership Down And I just did a quick search for Watership Down and you can see all these different Titles or um cover pages All have pictures of bunnies on it. They're all different You know often it seems to you know, there's usually one image that's always used for a book But this one has I guess They've got lots of different ones but every one of them I don't think I've I don't think I've read Watership Down. Have you I did when I was really young No, I haven't But anyways, so these are both authors um so Hendrikus Magdalenos Bruna was born in In Utrecht Netherlands Dutch um in 1927 And of course he was a Dutch author and illustrator and a graphic designer who was widely claimed First work is the creator of the popular children's book series Miffy He started he started to pursue a career in drawing before his father forced him to attend secondary school Forced to go to high school But then he eventually attended an art school in Utrecht where he started started design and illustration He worked with Dutch publishing company And which was founded by his grandfather, which is very cool and created cover art for many other books And then he created Miffy or I'm not sure how you pronounce that Lots of eyes and jays Maybe yoke and it helped us with the pronunciation Mm-hmm Nintia is would be my guess But yoke, please Correct me there a small white rabbit with a simple minimalistic design. So that's what you can see. It's very minimalistic um Published in 55 1955 and the series sold 85 million copies. That's amazing. Isn't it? That is amazing That is wow. Yeah He went around several awards through his life including. I love this the silver pencil award What a great award for an illustrator, right? And he even received a knighthood from the queen Beatrix of the Netherlands Passed away at the age of 89 Leaving a legacy of inspiring children's literature that has entertained generations of young readers There's your um translation Nintia Okay, thank you yoke. Thank you Thank you. Okay Very cool. Um and onto the English author Uh, Richard George Adams who was born in 1920 on 9th of May in Wash Common, Berkshire, England English novelist best known for the uh as the author of Watership Down Other works include shardik and the plague dogs Neither of those I'd I'd heard of but certainly the Watership Down is very popular fourth child of a country doctor and his wife He attended Bradford College in Berkshire. Uh, he was uh, he was commissioned Into the army to the Royal Army Service Corps in 1940 served in Palestine in Europe and then the Far East Returned to oxford graduated in 1948 got married in 1949 began telling his I love how this the book came about He began telling his daughters a story about rabbits And then they urged him to write it down and then that became Watership Down Um, it was rejected sadly It was rejected seven times But was finally accepted and was published in 1972 when a Carnegie Medal and the guardian children's fiction prize And then he became a member of the royal society of literature and president of the society for prevention of cruelty of the animals Um recipient of the inaugural witchurch arts awards and passed away on christmas eve 2016 Aw That's neat. I love that origin story about that. Yeah, the kids Yeah I used to make up stories when our kids were little and the main character called her name was princess blueberry Of course she was yes, and her magic power was blue, you know, she could do anything with something Stories down though, so I'm not going to be a published author in that regard, but Um, so I did tally these oh, thank you because our our youtubers are on mutiny as well apparently There were both were two Bruna had three votes and adams had 10 12 votes Three to 12. Did you say yep? And there were both there were two both Biscuits Okay, and So I am closer to adams and who are you closer to? I am closer to adams as well at 23 and I'm not related to either one of them. No Okay, adams wins that contest moving on to voice actors um And let's say here we go. So sam george edwards and junius kanya's menace George sam george edwards and junius kanya's matthews Yeah, so you put edwards or matthews in Now, do you know offhand who the voice who they voiced? No, oh, okay. I'll give you the I'll give you a visual Thumper was edwards and matthews played I don't know that's that's rabbit from winnie the pooh I think that's cool. I love these. I love these connections Uh, so sam george edwards born 1915 in macon georgia. It's macon, right? Like with a hard see yeah macon Macon macon georgia. Uh, we're gonna have you speak in apple action southern I'm not just no, I I I should I heard that I heard that Boy, uh, he grew up into the show business family Made his debut on stage when he was just a baby His mother the actress edna park was holding him. So is that count really? I mean, how much acting did he do but that's okay We'll we'll give it to him part of a traveling medicine show. Those are always fun the adventures of sonny and buddy um And he supplied voices in several children's production including bumper the rabbit In the animated disney film bamboo. Yeah, then he was drafted into the army in 1942 Uh, and in most of that tour of duty, he entertained the troops so, um He left the service returned to radio and played one of his most memorable characters dexter franklin the bumbling teenage boy next door um And he was considered an everyman character actor played in lots of other shows dragnet gun smoke mission impossible Hello, even in a hello dolly He also now this is interesting one of his regular roles in from 78 to 83 was on little house on the prairie He was the town banker. I remember that Yeah, I remember the show, but I mean, I don't remember the banker necessarily But that's who he played but he can it can sort of see that, you know in his picture there uh anyways passed away in 2004 from a harder time and then we have rabbit from winnie the pooh juniors conures matthews um born 1890 in carthage illinois at states um And passed away at the age of 87 in 1978 American actor and radio performer became the original voice of a rabbit in disney's winnie the pooh He also voiced scottie in 101 dalmatians So you remember in that scottie? I think was one of the ones that helped them as they traveled across england to get home to london Um, and then archimedes the owl in the sword and the stone It's kind of cool. Um, you got to start on broadway Um, which shows like young wisdom wisdom any house not heard of that one before There's a silent film called silent witness. I guess he probably didn't do any voice acting in that film Um And then a bunch of other things leading up to one of his earliest radio roles Was the tin woodsman in a radio production of the wizard of oz, which is kind of neat His acting career just like uh edwards uh career was halted during the War he became a private during the u.s. Army Uh during world war two and then he appeared in a few movies after that Uh, he suffered a stroke and passed away in 1978 So How do our voice actors stack up? You know what audrey martin has done the tally and she said edwards won and matthew's 19 now Thank you. Audrey. Wait. Wait. I was trying to do the tally. I was trying to be a good non-mutinous host Yes, I got four for edwards and 14 for Wait, god 10 15 19 four Yeah, so you missed uh three of the brunos or the edwards guys, so Thank you. Audrey if you're gonna do it, I'll stop I will stop Then I get to enjoy them the morning. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Audrey. If you don't mind doing the that's great And which one of these are you closer to I am not closer to either one of them really No, jr. Matthews is 17 degrees for me and he's like he and jennifer gibbon and sam edwards are all my closest I'm not anywhere near Matthews Oh Edwards, where's the go? Yeah, so you're closer. Yeah Okay, there we go Sure. Audrey said sure Excellent way to go Okay, the next category, uh, the duel is between peter dinklage and Mortimer snokosky cross now am I missing something completely that I don't know what peter dinklage did that was a part of a rabbit I know I did not know this either. Um, and in fact looking at his, um his his Profile on wiki tree does not actually help you figure that out because My favorite movie that he's been in is the station agent Oh, okay. It's a indie film. I think oh neat. I don't think I've seen that one Um, of course, if you look at this picture, you'll recognize him Most many people recognize him as terry and lannister from game of thrones Um, and he's done lots of other stuff, but the reasoning he's in this Um is because he once played the velveteen rabbit on stage No way So that's his connection to this and the the actual Stage productions is the category that links these two together because mortimer Um was was a producer and produced many many shows on stage and television. So he and his brother So that's the connection. That's how these two are sort of related loosely. So yeah, peter dinklage played the velveteen's rabbit on stage once But he's more pot more commonly known for Most recently in a for his game of thrones, but he's done lots of other things He was born uh to john carl dinklage and his wife diana 1969 His father was an insurance salesman his mother a music teacher He was born with accondro plazia, which is a form of dwarf dwarfism Um, and he got married in 2005 their first child was born in 2001 Uh, I did not know but he was he's been a vegetarian since he was 16 years old Um, so all those scenes where he's eating meat in the game of thrones, you know huge chunks of things apparently he faked that Very acting career Working in film and television did lots has done lots of voiceover work for video games and stuff Living in oblivion and station agent are mentioned Uh he earned not seven awards for that Movie so yeah the station agent's an incredibly good movie. Okay. I'll have to add that to my two view list And then mortimer croft or marty croft Born in 1899 no born in 1837 in montreal um son of pinkis snufoski and mary yolos um youngest brother of sidcroft and was a producer writer and one half of the croft brothers production company That concentrated on creating u.s. Children's entertainment shows such as anabarbara kind of barbara's banana splits h and r puffin stuff Bugaloo's lots of stuff a land of loss Electro woman and the dine a girl wonderbug Lots of stuff here and received the lifetime achievement emmy award for national academy of television arts and sciences nice Also has a star on the hollywood walk of fame Nice Nice, and he's canadian. Yeah, I was gonna say does he have a canadian Star up here somewhere. Does he have is there a canadian? Uh, let's see I think we should uh, he's there the canada a canada approach. Oh, you mean a on the canadian hall. Yeah, the That's a good question. We should we should put him up for a posthumous Governor general Yeah, he passed away just recently just a few months ago november 2023 and kidney failure at age 86 And let's see how did we do uh, well, let's see I can tell you that I am closer to I am Who are you? Close i'm closer to marty marty croft. I am furthest from dinklage and not related to either one So audrey martin has your numbers here. Thank you audrey for being our our calculator today Uh drink dinklage one croft minty okay Thank you. Most most of these have been blowouts, right? Yeah, they have been first. Yeah Okay, next we have the last four are all nicknames. So Um because they have bunny as part of their nickname Oh fun. Yeah bunny adair who's uh herbert Herbert yeah, yeah herbert Herbert arthur adair also known as bunny adair is a politician from australia Born 1905 welcome camp queensland. Um, and the other one is a pro baseball player herald burton rabbit warzler That's fun. Yeah So our politician from down under Uh was born in 1905 Uh member of the queensland legislative assembly The son of cecil and helen Born near carons queen queensland Place of the born birth place of birth is from military record, but the same record gives 23rd of ox so different slightly different Uh information there And then he married in 1928 uh, this looks like it came from a Newspaper article a very pretty wedding was celebrated the wednesday february 13th at st. Monica's church carons when glad it's the only daughter I love how they wrote wrote those articles back then, you know very nice Served at the australian army in world war two served as a member of the queen queensland state electorate from 53 to 69 1953 to 1969 and then passed away On 21st of october 1994 in carons And buried in the cairns cemetery And then we have our baseball player herald burton warzler Nice photo of him when his baseball uniform Uh born 1903 new berlin ohio united states professional baseball infielder in the major league baseball primarily played shortstop and second base for the boston red sox From 30 to 33. Philadelphia athletics the boston bees and the chicago cubs in 1940 Born on september 13th.

Uh waiting for audrey to give us our tally there Come on audrey. I was thinking we should make a special button a special template for for our calculators. Yes. Yes Okay, she says adair one and warzler 14.
