CNN ROOTS: Bourdain family mystery

Bourdain seeks information in Paraguay about his great-great-great grandfather, who emigrated from France in the 1850s.

[@pelipequi1493]

RIP Bourdain, and thank you for showing us how interconnected we are in the world, and how people have always been moving.

[@serenafanlife4226]

I, am going to miss Anthony's voice, humor, creativity and artistic skills. Sending positive thoughts to Anthony's daughter and loved ones.

[@pops1507]

Screwed his kids like Phillip Seymour and Robin. Bad ju-ju.

[@kanokrat67]

Rest in Paradise...Anthony,Many thanks for sharing any unpart of the World to us.

[@kirby711]

Miss Anthony all the time Wish he was still with us can't believe he's not here anymore

[@creatorsist]

Such a genius accomplished so much and left us my soul is bleeding

[@creatorsist]

Iknow Nothing please go fuck off you clearly know nothing self-described idiot

[@victormonreale9217]

What a loss, he was a real person bringing cultures through food, he was the best American ambassador.

[@valkang2844]

He seems like a genuine guy, experienced life most of humans can't imagine or never had the opportunity in their life time. Only explanation is Anthony Bourdain. Your time is up on Earth hope you've been called to a higher ...happier another chance if you believe in God so well with your soul.

Interesting, his family originally came from France, and settled in Uruguay. Imagine from Uruguay, South America to New Jersey, USA, love it!

[@pelipequi1493]

My great grandfather went to Argentina and settled in Uruguay...his brother ended it up in Boston. They were going to America...all of it..

[@rgdssd]

Mary Jane Cornielle there were a lot of European immigrants, millions that went to South America, especially Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina. It's not surprising that some People from the US could have family connections there!

[@710MaryJane]

City Nat yes, as well as SS and Nazi Officers went to Argentina and other South American Countries. I have German-American friends whose family went from Germany to Guatemala. Some are still settled there, the others are here in the USA.

[@rgdssd]

Mary Jane Cornielle my cousin's father is from Honduras, he has a German last name. My husband is from southern Brazil, a mixture of German, African and Portuguese heritage. He also has a German last name. They both confuse ALOT of people. There were definitely more German migrants to all of the Americas than people realize!

[@isabelleb.1270]

His ancestor arrived in Uruguay (Montevideo) BUT the story quickly switches to *PARAGUAY* (Asuncion) where he died. Look at the flag. I think this is not a detail but respect. After all, when asked “Where are you from ?” most Americans give the name of their state or even the city (New York, Dallas, etc.) instead of their country (USA). Even when the question is this single word: Nationality.

[@ARichardP]

R.I.P. Mr. Bourdain.

[@RC-ku8pr]

I'll NEVER understand how can a person who has made it to the top do this.We all have trails in this life and believe me it's not easy but we pray and pray for God to help us deal with the pain... Anthony you seemed like a SUPER nice guy ..RIP Thanks for the memories...

[@dakotail]

Rita Contreras ~~I'm whit you on that one ~~~ I will never understand also ~~~ So "sad" ~~~

[@pattijesinoski1958]

Rita Contreras He didn't. Just like Robin Williams didn't.

[@Imperceptible_parachute]

Narcissism. A common personality disorder in celebrities.

[@rgdssd]

Rita Contreras it's an illness. Depression can be very destabilizing, you are continuously tortured inside your mind. Then there's the constant struggle to 'battle' it which leaves you without energy. Religion, therapy, etc...don't always cure it 100% unfortunately. May he finally Rest In Peace, he must have really been suffering inside.

[@Pill-op4nh]

Acted impulsively and was to late

[@societydwellingifd8080]

Rip Anthony Bourdain

[@bettybooper12]

We are going to miss you. R.I.P.

[@aristarcojimenez8344]

If you see your friend having difficulties, be more closely and be familiar with the problem, that may help to avoid suicide.

[@mercdesgarrido]

Anthony I will miss you, I travel the world with you

[@cinthia9602]

I can't believe he is gone:-(

[@uthayarajahrajah2721]

Anthony, I miss you. You were my aspiration, cool guy too.

[@kamakirinoko]

Just goes to show that if anyone REALLY wants to keep a secret, they can . . . just because you think you know someone means nothing. And that is the people you know PERSONALLY. Although I sometimes felt as if I knew Anthony Bourdain personally, I see that NO ONE knew Anthony Bourdain personally, on any level whatsoever . . . it's probably the way he wanted it.

[@badbag9625]

Was first inamored by his looks & cockyness back in the day. I liked bad boys then. ( Word of caution.. Don't marry one !!! ) This man eventually earned my distain as a result of his selling out to CNN and possibly some politically powerful individuals. Sorry he involved his small child in his convoluted life.

[@sweetpeace5]

Pretty certain he was murdered. Foul play

[@yerusalemabreha4578]

Very true! I can resonate with that. Look up The sad clown.

[@nellysalinas2942]

Descansa En Paz!!

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

Asia broke his heart again

[@annastevens4197]

MrColdwatercanyon I completely agree with you on that one

[@tammysue8882]

R I P grand man

[@ianmacinnes3141]

Classy multiple watermarks

[@lauruguayitausa]

May be he lived in Salto where there are a lot of Bourdains!

[@msvideotime]

You will be missed

[@beachbum333]

R.I.P. Peace to all.

[@Roques-rage1706]

RIP

[@bettybooper12]

Are you judge and jury ?

[@Roques-rage1706]

Cynthia have some compassion

[@2380Shaw]

Maybe Anthony Bourdain was a distant cousin somehow. My French ancestors included "Beaudoin, Paquet, Achim, Deganai, Meunier"

[@jimmymitchell6537]

2017 anyone?

[@tabbat5054]

You are missed....

[@warningsigns4526]

CNN - Vanderbilt's little boy Anderson Cooper?

[@srercrcr]

I'm envisioning the Brazilians and Argentines running the Uraguayans into the Atlantic, no? They were surrounded!

[@williewillaims9069]

People take their lives everyday many for selfish reasons and destroying others that love them, many have terminal diseases but someone like Bourdain and many others who have so many resources, and help that other don't I have only pity on them.

[@keatsgipsy9991]

😢

[@annieelizabethhannan5601]

suicide... no fucking way... he knew and or saw things that he wasn't to know...

[@QueenofNonSequitur]

Tony died in the saddle. RIP

[@jamesmiller7275]

Pissing off the wrong people is a form of suicide.....

[@druzedravidian557]

[@Bassguitar1231]

what does RIP actually mean, is the person sleeping or a heaven or other world and how do humans actually know that one just ceases to exist much like before ones death not because they read it in a book ?

[@rashahassan7626]

oliver harmon It means rest in peace where you are buried. ...as people would usually be buried when they die...

[@janicenicholls5924]

Do enough reading and you might find your answer.

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

you must be really smart.

[@billant2]

Well at least he was proud of his heritage and passed away on his ancestor's land. I've read somewhere that most people in the world tend to travel back to the land their ancestry to lay to rest, which is probably true.

[@ekaterini2957]

To honor his memory, go back to God. Whether that is a church, a mosque, a temple, a meeting house, or sitting under a tree, in a cave, or under the noon sun -- go back to God. He was SHOWING US how to be like Christ, how to BE HUMAN AND LOVE OTHERS. To show our love back it is time we return to regaining our humanity, regaining love of our ONE FAMILY.

[@kommzujesusundleb2189]

Ekaterini For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son , who so ever believe shall be saved . John 3: 16. Jesus is the way , the truth and life nobody comes to the father except through him . John 14: 6

"I am in no way a Hillary Clinton fan. I have been on the receiving end of her operatives' wrath and it ain't fun" Anthony Bourdain tweet, May 2, 2018

[@bettybooper12]

I have heard this information as well.

[@bettybooper12]

May God open your eyes so you can see Ian.

[@HyperHorse]

Religion is stupid and pointless.

[@richardmaida7400]

Now I see why you're losing subscribers to CNN. If this the only way to portray a person who was in crisis most of his life is really low and sad.

[@pagen5219]

He rejected Christ as a truth. I liked him much and was sad when he did and stopped watching him then,,,,,he was not sure of who was the higher power,,,,,,,,,,and now he is dead,,,,,,,and he would have died without JESUS. so sad.

[@marcosaves3540]

He was murdered

[@josie_mary]

Well that’s it, he did himself in because he came from a family of hat makers, mystery solved.

[@710MaryJane]

I wonder why many of my fellow Americans cannot speak or write without using the word Fu*k, Sh*t, or other obscene and vulgar language. What is up with at that?! Could it be a lack of vocabulary and/or English grammatical skills? OK, waiting for all the insulting remarks.

[@710MaryJane]

Aegys TierOne, I guess you have to really like Anthony Bourdain and his show, Parts Unknown. All I can say now is, Rest in Peace Bourdain.

Don't judge . There is more than what they are saying.
