Kelsey Grammer Learns Of Alcoholic History | Who Do You Think You Are

[@angelapowell7805]

My uncle recently died of alcoholism. Sad to watch. I think he had a lot of unresolved grief and a broken heart. I shuddered when I heard Mr. Grammer say that.

[@charlottecannon314]

I have always liked watching Kelsey act, he is a phenomenal actor and artist, musician - love him In Frazier and movies.

[@DebraHuewe10858]

My grandfather was an alcoholic, he died when he fell on the street where he was walking, 1934.

[@shantenafreeman8908]

From what I learned from my Mom's situation, if your spouse deserted you, you had to wait 7 years for a divorce decree. This was over 60 years ago.

[@LAVirgo67]

My mother-in-law's mother was abandoned by her alcoholic husband back about the same time as Kelsey's grandmother. My mother-in-law's mother told everyone that she was a widow. It was easier to say that vs. saying that she had been abandoned.

Cirrhosis of the liver isn't always alcohol induced

[@sandybruce9092]

I have a disease called Autoimmune Hepatitis - if not diagnosed and medication taken, it can cause cirrhosis of the liver. And I don’t drink! (bummer)! There are no outward symptoms of this disease so I haven’t a clue just how long I’ve has it or where it came from - I has a liver biopsy (can’t remember why) over 20 years ago and boom! So I take medication for it. On the other hand, my great grandfather died of cirrhosis of the liver (about age 60) because he was an alcoholic!

[@schoolnursesaves]

So true, my dad had cirrhosis and didn't drink

[@JonathanReynolds1]

Diabetic people can get Cirrhosis of the liver just from the sugar in the body fermenting over time.

She didn't say it was the only cause she said it was the most common.

[@dawnpenner847]

Didn't historically people had to wait seven years before filing for divorce for abandonment? I know my grandmother did.

[@chdesigna28783]

From a previous video, Ellis actually left Genevieve in 1905 (the same year that Evangeline was born). Basically, the couple were married in early 1905 and he left her in November of the same year. So it's roughly been an 9 year gap between abandonment and filing for divorce.

[@user-uy6uc5ey5q]

In codifying its laws in 1872 the one operating at the turn of the 20th century, California provided for six divorce grounds: adultery, extreme cruelty, wilful desertion, habitual intemperance, wilful neglect, and conviction of a felony. There wasn't a waiting period (sometime called a cooling off period) as part of this.

[@jasonwilliamson8416]

I'm a 21 year combat veteran currently suffering from alcohol induced liver cirrhosis. It's a pretty sad existence.

You really should put Part numbers on all these videos if not putting up the entire video. Cant find the Oakland video after this one.

[@sharynkoren2054]

Hepatitis also can lead to cirrhosis of the liver.

[@garycarpenter2980]

All I know about my grandfather is that he had a heartattack after too much smoking and he was 10 years older than her and that they had 5kids( 2 girls 3boys) the"baby" in the family was born after his dad died (one of the sisters was my mother) and now I've got one uncle left and we don't ever talk to him and I mean"we" that's my cousin's,his ex-wife,his kids and me and my sister he's such a stubborn man

[@isabelrodriguez6717]

La cirrosis no tiene por qué ser causada por alcohol. Puede ser por contagio de hepatitis, por otras enfermedades e, incluso, por medicamentos.

[@patricksanders858]

Ahh Kelsey, genetics run in cycles. You of most people should have known that your weaknesses did not start with you alone.

[@judybrown1446]

It's Pictou County not Picts County, typo on death cert.

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

I noticed that too. Hope this surprising location gets explained. (My paternal ancestors from there.)

[@dianethulin1700]

Interesting to see parts of the old Bay Bridge in the final scene. It is completely dismantled now

[@professordogwood8985]

I saw there was mention of Nova Scotia in the Death Certificate, I'm very curious to know what that Canadian connection is?

[@allyson9188]

at 2:30 you can see the document says Charles Blair Geddes was born in Picts County, Nova Scotia and below that Amelia Rebecca Farr(?) born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The side of the document is off-screen so I'm not sure who they are in relation to his grandmother--could be next of kin?

[@carysjenkins2844]

@@allyson9188 I think that they were Genevieve's parents so his grandmother Evangeline's maternal grandparents.
