Matriarch Rose Kennedy once famously commented that her life could be described as the title of a Michelangelo biography called "The Agony and the Ecstasy". In that same interview in the 1970s, the interviewer asked, in polite terms, if she was at least happy to have had her son be president despite the assassination, and she said "No", that no success could overcome the horror of assassinations.

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Honestly, poor woman. You lose your eldest to war, your next two sons to assassinations. Your eldest daughter is subjected to a medical procedure you never gave consent for that destroys her. Like, how much grief can one woman bear? Her and Ethel Skacel… man. You’ve got to be a powerful person with fortitude beyond comprehension not to be utterly consumed by grief.

I think Rosemary should count as part of the curse. Her initial mental delays were caused by a botched birth that left her brain without oxygen for a time which caused her future behavioral problems. She then had the lobotomy so not to have those behavioral problems interfere with her brother's political careers. She may not have died from it but it sounds pretty cursed to me.

[@jimwoo9552]

Here's a connection for you. Jackie Bouvier's sister was married to William A. V. Cecil Cecil was the younger son of Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt (1900-1976) and English-born aristocrat John Francis Amherst Cecil (1890-1954). He was the grandson of George Washington Vanderbilt II and Lord William Cecil, the great-grandson of William Henry Vanderbilt and William Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Exeter. His maternal great-great grandfather was railroad and steamship baron, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jackie's distant cousin is Anderson Cooper of CNN, who's mother was Gloria Vanderbilt, daughter of millionaire equestrian Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt of the Vanderbilt family and socialite Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, and Reginald's patrilineal great-grandfather was business magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, Cornelius Vanderbilt's great-great-great-grandfather, Jan Aertson or Aertszoon ("Aert's son"), was a Dutch farmer from the village of De Bilt in Utrecht, Netherlands, who emigrated to New Amsterdam (later New York) as an indentured servant in 1650.[ The Dutch van der ("of the") was eventually added to Aertson's village name to create "van der Bilt" ("of the Bilt"). This was eventually condensed to Vanderbilt. Jan's son, Anthony Janszoon van Salee was one of Cornelius Vanderbilt's great-great-great-great-grandfathers. Jan and Anthony were privateers working out of Morocco and Anthony is thought to be the first Muslim in the colonies. Anthony's daughter Annica, married Thomas Southard. Their daughter Abigail was the great-great-grandmother of Cornelius Vanderbilt Thomas and Annica's son, Isaac, is a direct line ancestor of my mother, whose grandfather was Lawrence Southard of Iowa. That makes me a distant cousin to both Cooper and Jackie. Yeah, the Kennedy's have a VERY illustrious family line.

In Irish history a small footnote is on Courtney because her husband Paul Hill was/is one of the Guildford Four.

Great video! Didn't know so many people were connected to this family

Great video Matt. Joe Kennedy III seemed to be on the rise in Massachusetts a few years back. I think he erred by taking on the incumbent Democratic Senator from Ed Markey. Ed became the first politician to beat a Kennedy in Mass, on a pretty grand stage nonetheless. Ed is an effective and popular Senator and Joe may have overplayed his hand in taking him on when he did. I think he may have had more success taking on Elizabeth Warren but maybe he didn't want to wait a few more years because of Presidential ambitions or maybe he didn't want to take on another Harvard elite.

10:46 Probably not since because Jack has probably become a social media star as he has been posting a lot of videos on his instagram. Half are funny but the other half can be cringe.

Back in the 1980s I was recruited on campus to a group known as the Local Church, where I spent 5 years during a time in my life when I was searching, having been raised Catholic. As I recall, they closely followed Witness Lee and were strongly influenced by Watchman Nee and J.N. Darby. There was a lot of talk about them being a cult and I left and never looked back. To my knowledge, they are still active all over the U.S. and overseas. I wonder if they would fit on the chart under Plymouth Brethren???

Rosemary's last name is misspelled "Keneddy"??

[@laju]

Not the only one. At least three people misspelled there. A bit sloppy.

[@UsefulCharts]

Crap.

I'm interested to hear more about what "Countess of the Holy See" means! That's not a title I've ever heard before.

Could you make a chart of the Harry Potter family tree?
