Yes question of the week question of the week The question of the week hold on it. I wasn't Why I guess I'll show I thought I wasn't going first so I was gonna show mags's photo right away What are you showing now? Exactly, I could do it right now. You could so She wanted to share a blueberry pie. Oh That was made and I don't remember she made it or her mom made it That's good. I think there was also a blackberry pie that was made of black. Yes So a whole bunch of oh my mom messed up her how many years they were married I'm we're catching up to you Joanna So blue very pie mags was like show this on Saturday. I was like, okay I like pictures that when it's sliced open you can see the blueberries So somewhere she thought she had one The question that we could this week was who was one of your favorite ancestors to research Hmm. I like I kind of glance through We have 43 answers this week if If you get if any of one of you that's watching if you answered it let me know I'll go find yours Or if you want to reply in the comments now about it, you can So So the first one here on the top was By anonymous tape says his favorite was Melvin Robert lard and the fact that he resigned and survived water gates Then we have David McNichol saying his most challenging I guess His favorite to research was his great-great-grandfather William From Scotland He was challenging because I had started with strong expectations about what I would find based on Scottish history in the 18th century And the advent of the Industrial Revolution in brief I thought it likely that William was from the Highland family that supported Prince Charles and the uprising was 1745 But the other Jacobites did I say that right? Yeah, was decisively defeated by the British at Clodden then So my supposed story went the McNichols There's so many other Highlanders were pushed off the land during the clearances and became Reluctant draftees into the battalions of the Industrial Revolution armed with these historical pointers I set out to find the Highland Glenn That was my family's ancestral home It is true that Renton is in the Highlands that it was an industrial town and also true that For part of his life William worked in the textile industry all of my other suppositions proved to be false my Scottish ancestors were Church of Scotland and government men not Catholic and Digvite and they had fought at Clodden And I found no evidence that they did Hmm, it would have been part on the British side So basically he had all these assumptions and yeah, that's usually what happens when you're researching your ancestors Go-in thinking yeah family lore and stories that were passed down and then it would choose proves to be false Yeah, well good to be open-minded though and realize that that mm-hmm and being willing to switch gears when you have to Yes, you have to be willing to change, you know from the from the evidence mm-hmm And then we have Richard Hill saying I was led discovered to dig into life in times of my fifth great-grandfather John Dennis Worn about 1758 in Pennsylvania. He was a united Empire loyalists. He was forced to move to Canada with his family winding up in Upper Canada, Ontario where he served both its government and the British Navy as the shipwright in The town of York now Toronto and in the Kingston where he built many of the ships that served the British North America in the War of 1812 and then he goes on and he apparently he's a Little presentation that's online about it He has a handout Wow Then we have this one here by Alexis Nelson one of my favorite ancestors to research has been my second great-grandfather Edward Macaulay long I had heard as a child my maternal grandmother and her sisters talk about their grandfather being murdered When I started doing genealogy the only thing I inherited was a large packet of poorly copy newspaper articles about the murder trial The trial went on so long that it was moved from Missouri to Kansas. This is a newspaper clipping taken from Leavenworth, Kansas on July 17 18 79 and It says the jury in him long murder case say on their oath that said shooting Wounding and killing was done feloniously and violently and of the malice Afrathot with force and arms by one chase hairs of Windtrap MO so-called East Aston I think that's Missouri MO. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Missouri. Yeah, that's that Charles Harris did feloniously kill and murder said EM long of said date on said date and in said Ashley Plain County in the state of Kansas after said and on it goes, but Just reading that article from 1879 how the word how yeah Said the words they used to yes, and how they phrase everything. Yes, so Yeah And then there was a Martin honor said his favorite ancestor was William Oatway his second great-grandfather He was a merchant seaman was lost along the rest of the ship's company when his ship the Bark Mabel ran across ran aground in the Bristol Chanel channel Interesting story This person says I feel a little bit like a mask to identify my favorite grandchild I Love them all right John Grisken said his he has two favorites Valentine Hollingsworth his seventh great-grandfather and his and his father Valentine's father Andrew they were both Quakers who came to America as part of Ken's experiment in the colonies And Betsy's Ross's great-grandfather He also had a son and grandson that helped build independence Hall Anybody been saying anything in the chat Chris is detouring into some tennis talk. Oh Yes, which is gonna What's that? No, I'm just kidding. I was saying it's a surprise what the profiles of the week were Just give it away He's causing quite a racket So we have another one here Anthony McPherson said his favorite ancestor to research was captain Antoine Paul Lent Pauline or Pauline and more modern from Poland from the American Revolution. He was an ancestor We were taught in school history class didn't really exist Along with his brothers and arms luckily, however, he was mentioned in his descendants obituaries even into the 21st century I've collected over 3,000 names of his descendants That's pretty cool. Hmm So the second page and see you Susie Welch says her favorite is Abner Doro He's done started out in Dublin, Ireland in 1680 and died in the US in 1720 He has hundreds of descendants of which I'm one I'm going to devil in October to try to learn more about him Wow, so but he was only 40 then when he passed. Yeah, I guess the stress of the Migrating to the US You have Catherine Chapman here saying one of her Favorites was her sixth grade grandmother Hannah Massey Lindley her family were Quakers from Pennsylvania who moved to North Carolina She died tragically during a battle of the Revolutionary War killed because she was a Tory sympathizer and her husband died at the same time Left only one toddler son James Because her son migrated to Indiana as an adult that he Details and sources were fuzzy, but the story was handed down in the family I came to think of her as one of those mystery mystery ladies And although I used to be hesitant to add profiles from this era to wiki tree I worked hard to gather as many sources as I could Had to read up on the battle of Lindley Lindley's Mill and I had to work on several profiles connected her as well I'm particularly proud of connecting her to her parents who were already on wiki tree It turns out Hannah's mother raised James Along with her son from a second marriage Right the grandmother her profile. I'm curious. Yeah It's a pretty cool story. Mm-hmm. Oh nice Bob Some sources We have the battle of Lindley's Mill on Wikipedia Very cool and a map to cool. Yes It will do one more So I'm joined major said most entering one was the Halifax murder my nephews By nephew towards his uncles so sad situation then realized Isaac Allerton and Mary Norris marriage was done in the church of the statue Where Mary's great uncles were made into a statue Also finding up on my great grandfather had died in a manner that he felt he needed to do he thought He caused his two boys to have mental challenges Interesting Wow Let's see if anybody in the chat that I recognize had done a not many answers this week last week had a whole bunch So Lisa said I was surprised to find that some of my French Canadian ancestors went back to the US From the deer for a deer field attack and then back to England from there Yeah, so that was remember Last week and I was talking about the connections the ones who of the the American presidents that I was connected to sooner rather than later Were because of the the family where? The child was taken and that's the deer field attack that Lisa's talking about here. So she Ancestors that come through that line as well Very interesting. Do you have a favorite ancestor that you like to research great My favorite one. Well, that's an interesting one. So I've sort of got to that I've done I've done more research on them than some of the others and one of them is from my adopted family and that is my My adoptive mother's mother's line Her her name is Bay or her maiden name was Bay but it was actually Bay which is a French Canadian name and The one who came and settled in this area was a voyager so that meant he traveled the river and traded traded furs with First Nations people and he was it he was in the The core of the voyager in the war of 1812 fighting for the British side And because of that he was granted some land So he was granted I think 200 acres of land in the Arulia area, which is the part of Ontario where I live so But he going back and finding his original records. He was from a family in in just outside of Montreal But he actually had a he had a first wife and some children But then he left them, but I'm not sure if he left them or if his wife left Left him first because she also had an affair with a politician and had two children out of camp for with him And then anyway this guy married a different person Anyways, it's all very convoluted and stuff, but a lot more a lot more convoluted than I than any of the family expected it to be But there's a voyage here, so that's kind of cool What about yourself? I don't know if there's a favorite to research or ones with more interesting stories that I found I had one where he had a whole bunch of Had a few kids with his wife who then passed away. He got remarried moved across To the middle of the country, but left his one son who was deaf and youngest son with his sister But took all of his other kids and the one that stayed was the one that I'm Descended from so it's always interesting to think how if he would have decided to take him instead of leaving him How things would have changed, right? Yeah It's an interesting one for me, so And figuring out why they moved and how they got there and what all that so Yeah, so it looks like Chris says he also had some no, I'm not sure if he's responding to Lisa's Deer-filled attack ancestors or if my voyage yours ancestors he was talking about He'd say he go with his paternal great-grandparents line That's his favorite and then Q the TNG theme. I'm not sure why that Next Star Trek the next generation. Oh Voyagers of course voyager Star Trek Anyways, should we talk about it? Yes. I know nothing about tennis players. So this will be very enlightening. Oh well Then you're in for a treat because guess what? I'm not really a huge sports fan, but We're gonna have we're gonna delve into it because this week This week our theme is sports here Let me zoom in on the tennis racket there and the profile of the week is Steffi graph and Of course, all of them are tennis players. And so which tennis player you most closely connected to and of course I never remember to look until after I've already started sharing my screen Another super close I do recall that so they're all fairly now the interesting thing when I looked at this Is I thought oh I recognize that name. I recognize that name I recognize that name and the funny story is the reason I recognize so many tennis players names Even though I'm not a sports fan. I don't generally follow tennis is Because when I first started teaching in one of my grade 11 classes I had a student who loved tennis and he never ever signed his own name to any of the tests that he wrote He always put down a tennis players name So I I've marked the test the grade 11 math test of Arthur Ash and Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors John McEnroe, I might have even marked this test of Steffi graph thinking that Steffi, you know, Steph was a guy's name So, you know Anyways many of these names I recognize because I've marked their math tests and they all passed, you know, but they all could have studied harder But so that's that's my brief My brief brush with tennis history Through one of my students who just loved it You're closest Greg. It seems to be Hamilton Richardson 21 degrees I'm also that's also my closest I'm 19 degrees away from him. So and Lisa's also 19 ways I wonder is there a French it must be through the French connection the French Canadian connection I'm guessing if it's the same as Lisa through your yeah, I guess so it looks like it's through your French. Yeah Yeah, very cool So the first one is Stephanie grass Stephanie graph When she was playing tennis, she was known as Steffi graph, but I noticed in the biofaces Since she has retired from tennis she prefers to go by Stephanie She was born in 1969 and I'm guessing from the flag here and their connection to the Germany project that she is a German citizen I was born in Germany. Her father was certainly born in Germany. I checked his profile And she married another tennis great Andre Agassi in October 2001 and they have two children Nice profile in German Deutsch Started playing tennis at the age of three Wow Her father owned a tennis center where she practiced Already in 1981 she started the German Championships and lost only in three sets to Eva Faf Nate 1983 she was allowed to leave school at the end of the year. She was already in the top 100 1984 she beat for the first time a top 10 player and rose to number 22 She played several important matches against Martina Navratilova and won her first Grand Slam in 87 Goes on about all of things So Sadly her father and her they were accused of tax evasion Her case was dropped after she paid a fine, but her father did have to serve some jail time But she served she founded a foundation for children tomorrow For children who are traumatized because of escape war and buy up to escape war and violence So John just said sorry nearly forgot watching women's Wimbledon final with mom We should have actually had John here then maybe to help out with the tennis So next is Arthur Ash Apparently his mom was at Wimbledon this this week and last week. Oh, wow, that's pretty cool Arthur Ash was born on July 10th in 1943 in Richmond, Virginia and passed away on the 6th of February 1993 at the age of 49 So he is an American professional tennis player who won three Grand Slam titles was the first black player Selected for the United States Davis Cup team and the first and so far only black man to win the singles title at Wimbledon The US Open and the Australian Open. He was also an activist and a humanitarian His mother died when he was only six years old His father was a parks policeman caretaker in Richmond, Virginia And he grew up in the the caretakers house inside the 18-acre Brookfield Park He had two brothers and a sister And he became a standout tennis player as a teenager initially with the support from Dr. Walter whirlwind Johnson Love that Nickname physician who also coach and mentored a number of black tennis partages including the renowned Althea Gibson And we'll come to her profile in a little bit Young Arthur Ash reached the semi-finals of the junior national championships on his first attempt in 58 Won the indoor single titles in 60 61 And then goes through details of of his rise and were now In 66 one tennis teacher called him the most promising player in the world. So that's pretty impressive And he served in the US Army from 66 to 68 and Then his tennis titles The US open 1968 the Australian open the Wimbledon open in 75 so on Unfortunately a heart attack led to the discovery that he had advanced cardiovascular disease And he went on underwent heart surgery in December 79 So he officially retired from competition in 1980 only at the age of 36 like that's way too young for that sort of thing But for heart disease In my opinion But when he retired he Led to other outlets. So he did writing and that's where his humanitarian work came in actually being arrested a couple times for Taking part in anti-apartheid rallies So I let this summary paragraph here about him as an activist and humanitarian in his lifetime He went from being denied opportunities to play and compete in the late fifties to integrating and winning the previously segregated junior national championships He co-founded the League to expose underprivileged children to tennis while fostering a sense of discipline and attention from boycotting and protesting He was a delegate. He went to to be able to observe political change So it's nice from being a champion unable to accept prize money because of status He saw the beginning of the open-air where professionals were allowed to play in the Grand Slam tournaments and support them. Hmm. Very impressive, eh? But again, he died too young then Bjorn Borg Born in the fifties In Sweden Swedish tennis player and businessman He made his debut in the Davis Cup in 1972 won five consecutive Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and retired in 83 With a brief comeback in 91 Born in Stockholm on the 6th of June To Calvary and Borg and his wife and grew up in Södertalje Not sure if I pronounced that right Talja He lived abroad during his international career, but his but returned to Sweden in 1987 Short and sweet If anybody has any fun facts about Bjorn you can Mm-hmm. That's all we got your mom said that Arthur Arthur Ashe was an inspiration. Yeah, I put I put that up while you were I get oh my mom says that everybody had a crush on Bjorn back in the day and he was the cutest player Well, you know he was so cute that resistance was futile Okay, if I didn't see it Chris would have so, you know, yeah Now we go a little bit back in time Henri-Jean Cauchet Born in the 14th of December 1901 in Villarbanne, Rhone, France There's a son of Gustave Cauchet and Antoinette Gareton And he passed away at the age of 85 on the 2nd of April 1987 The Saint-Chamer-en-Lé in the Yvelaine, France He's a jeweler de tennis français, une des quatre muscatières qui dominaire le tennis des années 1920 et du début des années 1930 So there is no English so I will translate for you So he's a French tennis player he was one of the four muscatiers Who dominated tennis in the 1920s and the early and the beginning of the 1930s? He took place in 15 tennis tournaments Seven of which are I think singles I think on example it means singles And he also won six Davis cups so the Davis cup is a big event in tennis He was also Newspaper director And he's passed away the 2nd of April so there's a picture of him with his rackets in this fancy Tennis outfit John I guess John's mom said not far from Jordan not far last Wednesday Wow Jimmy Connors born in the 50s Son of James Connors and Gloria Florence Thompson Better know James Scott Connors better known as Jimmy Connors was born in 52 It was a prolific tennis player and tennis superstar He's the number one tennis player for a then record 160 consecutive weeks from 1974 to 1977 and for a total of 268 weeks altogether 109 titles over 1500 matches and of those 12 1274 matches were wins That's a pretty good average Five US opens to Wimbledon's an Austrian open 17 Grand Prix super series titles. Wow Inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame not surprisingly with those stats Okay, so I was just looking up who bought and I googled. I was like who played the most tennis matches. Oh I Think this actually pulled up the wins and Jimmy Connors is number three 233 Number one was Novak Jacobic So Effect there Okay, great Okay, next Althea Gibson Now I must admit this is not a name that I recognized. This was not a name that was I did not mark her math test So this was she was new to me born on the 25th of August 19 27 in Silver Silver City Or just Silver Clarendon County, South Carolina United States daughter of Daniel Gibson and Annie Bell Washington And she passed away on the 28th of September 2003 at the age of 76 in East Orange, New Jersey United States. She's part of US black history So the summary here Althea Gibson was an all-round American athlete who excelled at tennis and golf and in the 1950s and 60s broke the color barrier for women competing in those sports After years of being stonewalled in 1950 She was the first black player to compete at the US National Championships at Forest Hills in 1951 She was the first black player to complete at Wimbledon She was the first African-American ever to win a glance grand slam tennis championship with her 1956 Roland Garrus French Championships victory She went on to win Wimbledon and the US Nationals in 1957 and again in 1958 And was the first black player to be ranked number one in the world She won 11 tennis grand slam tournaments in all including five singles and six doubles She retired from competitive dent tennis in 1958 and then she turned to golf and was in 1962 The first black player in an LG LPGA tour and in 1964 became the first black member of the Ladies Professional Golf Association So That's pretty impressive And look even on her gravestone. It's immortalized her tennis World champion French and Wimbledon US National Championships now known as US Open and Then she was buried with her right next to her First husband William Alexander Darben the love of her life so That's nice Nicely done profile here, too. Like I got pictures and in the nice timeline of Her sports nice picture of here of Queen Elizabeth presenting her with the the Venus Rose water dish And if you look at this look at it It's you're seeing it on its side in this picture with Queen Elizabeth But I think that's what she's holding up in this picture. That's along Oh So that at the women's Wimbledon's women's singles championship So maybe we should ask John. Is that that is that giant dish? Is that what every winner gets for Wimbledon? You get a giant salad plate or I mean it almost looks like an ornate shield or something There's a better Venus Rose There's the picture of the fuller picture of it there Interesting that's the Venus dish like a big salad dish That's the Venus dish. Okay, and so just so does everyone get that who wins the Wimbledon That's that's my question to John in the chat It's a trophy awarded to the women's category. Okay, there we go Obviously paying tribute to the goddess Venus, right? Yeah Very cool, and it's very appropriate then how one of the best women's Tennis players is Venus right now, you know. Oh, yes, that's right. Yeah, very well-known Then we have Yvonne Gulagong Collie So Yvonne Gulagong was the daughter of Kenneth Edmund Gulagong and Melinda Violet Briggs She's an indigenous Australian former world number one tennis player one of the world's leading players in the 70s and early 80s During which she won 14 grand slam titles seven and singles The Australian open to a Wimbledon and one French open and six in the women's doubles and one in mixed doubles She was the third of eight children born on the 30 31st of July 1951 in Griffith, South New South Wales To Kenneth Edmund Gulagong, a sheep she were and Melinda Violet Gulagong of the We're a jury people But she grew up in a small country town of Borellan, which is 50 kilometers to the east of Griffith Where they were the only Aboriginal family That might have been difficult I'm guessing her father was a hard worker and also the local golf champion The family name means tall trees by still waters That's kind of neat She went to live permanently at age 14, which I think is a little young but With Vic Edwards in Sydney Who was an Australian tennis coach and who had been advised of her talent since 62 And he took her under his wing until she became a professional tennis player when she got married They moved to the US So she married Roger Colley who was also a former British junior tennis champion From England and they moved to the US for 17 years where they had two children But then she In 91 when her mother Melinda Where her mother Melinda died They returned to Australia and she began to expand her knowledge of her Aboriginal heritage And started a foundation To assist the Aboriginal cause wrote an abrit wrote an autobiography And became published and was an immediate bestseller She was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of South Australian recognition of her distinguished service to the community The first Aboriginal Australians to succeed in tennis at an international level She was a true champion has become an incredible role model And a person of integrity and poise committed to excellence and dedicated to sharing her inspirational egos Yeah, John was also saying, you know Why do you like sentence so much? He says my aunt uncle were tennis coaches and my first cousin is manager of the Wimbledon qualifying club in Rohanston Oh, you're very involved in tennis, John. He should totally should have had him on Oh man, if only we knew Okay, John McEnroe, I think this is the one That Chris was alluding to yesterday. He who had the tamper temper tantrums Yes, there we go. John McEnroe is an american tennis player often associated for his fiery temper on and off the court That's it. That's his profile. That's it. That's it and one link to a wiki wiki There we go Mel said Of course, if he knew how little time we spent on him, he'd be mad at us and throw a tennis racket at us Sorry, John Sorry, John I'm moving on Oh, wait a second Bye doggies Great timing.

I will want to m's She's born on the 18th of october 1894. So I think this is the earliest profile so far um In the colony of queensland australia So is that before australia became an official country or maybe before queensland became an official state I'm not sure When when did australia become a country? Your erin says he wishes macgenroy was open to edit. I guess that's the problem with the still the profiles of people still living Oh, oh, yeah, there's no edit button here Is there yeah, I guess he has to become part of the notable's project if you want to look at his neither of his So how do you so how do we know if we're interconnected to him or not if he's not Well, hold on. Is he part of my connections?

Going that many matches in a row without loss And she even beat the eighth ranked us male player in an exhibition match Her record for wins at wimbledon, which was eight of them in a row Our eight of them was not surpassed until martina navartolova won her ninth Wow, she was arguably the most dominant female tennis player of the 20th century Some even say that she's the best female player in the history of the game Wow There we go So that's your brief look at tennis Tennis not has not has some fun facts about the history of tennis anybody Which I think are interesting so Tennis dates back to the 12th century france um Was originally played as a handball game called palm And it was involved hitting the ball back and forth by hand And then time black leather glove was used and then They formed the racket so And then tennis got its name when the early version used to be played five months in the 12th century And they would throw and catch the ball while shouting tenees, which means take heed So that's how tennis got its name and then Another one which I think is interesting because you know tennis gets scored in an odd way 15 30 and 45 so It's believed that the scoring system comes from medieval france and that a clock face was used to indicate scores So for every point scored the hand was moved to the next quarter And the first order of each 60 was the winner and the game ended so Well, that makes sense. Yeah Now this is 15 30 and 40 um, but that's just an idea of why so um and then And then in 1881 the very first us open was played after america founded the us national law and tennis association In 1896 tennis was first played at the olympics and in 1897 the french championships were open to women tennis players for the first time in french history so There are some facts about me Thank you, sarah a lot of things.
