I created the following template in case you want to make your own family tree in the "UsefulCharts" style shown in this video: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1835/6621/files/family-tree-template.odg You can download it for free. It's a LibreOffice Draw file. I did a tutorial on it a few weeks ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3PYnWBmn82Gfac

So, I started watching this video with the thought, "Oh, a fellow Canadian is showing some of their family tree, how interesting", then Nova Scotia came up and I sat up a little straighter, "Oh wow," I'm thinking, "He has genealogical roots in my province! I wonder if he's Nova Scotian himself. This is hitting pretty close to home, youtube videos never do that". Then the name Johannes Becker comes up and everything screeches to a halt. For you see, my good sir, I know that name very well. Johannes Becker is my 6x great-grandfather through his son John Jacob (1752-1813) down to my mother and then to me. So, we are distant cousins, and my mind just broke a little bit. I REALLY want to pick your brain on our mutual line. So hello from your distant cousin and fan in Colchester, Nova Scotia.

Here’s a helpful tip that no one seems to mention: if you’re having trouble finding the parents or children of a deceased relative, look for their obituary, most funeral homes will post these online and they will include the deceased predecessed relatives (parents, children, siblings). They will also usually include the “survived by” members of the family from spouses to grand children

That will be a mess. Every little sect kept splitting over the most minor thing. How about a time limit. Say until 1800. They are still splitting. Especially once they were in the US . So many are not even the consequence of splitting but of individuals who decided to start their own "church" often with little theology. Where to draw the line.

My grandfather and his siblings still live in Nova Scotia. A few years ago we got to visit lunenburg and see the land that my ancestors were given and see a Lutheran Church the first in North America helped build.

Loved the video, just yesterday we found my mother's genology book and it was a treat. From my mother's side they immigrated as German Jews sometime around the 1640s and later on in the 1720s they became Mennonite's until a group split off and came Midwest and broke off their Mennonite heritage. My fathers side is fuzzy and unknown, we know its French and Cherokee *we have jokes about how that connection was made ;)* and we know they eventually settled in Oklahoma. My mother's sides is well documented and plan to read up more in it soon but the real mystery is my father's side, we know so little about it and a year ago we found out the current las name isn't the original but we had a more fancy French name and it got changed due to a series of adoptions. As a person who loves history my ultimate dream is to build up a family free from both sides of the family and see if there are other ethnic groups in the bloodline asides from Hebrew, German, French and Cherokee.

My sister has traced our family line all the way back to 500 AD...im not sure how she did that since I would imagine most documents from that time would be lost. LOTS of interesting people...too much to get into here. However, I do know that when you look at your family tree, it answers so many questions. For example: I finally figured out why I joined the military. It went beyond patriotism and the right thing to do, it was because virtually all males in my family tree were in the military of their country. I printed out my family tree on several poster sized posters, framed them and are now hanging up in one of my parents living rooms.

its really interesting how we know so little about our families back so far, but a lot of people are able to find a single well-documented ancestor. in my case my family on moms side did some research and found from church records and then some other documents from the info they found there (my uncle spent like $10 grand on this so there were literally people going through documents lol) that my great-great-great-grandfather was, like my whole mothers side up until they immigrated in the 1920s, a farmer from eastern bavaria. but more notably he fought against the americans for the british in the later years of the american revolutionary war lol and died at 87 which is insane age for that time. apparently he was able to really raise the income for the family cus it was his son who bought the farm in austria that my grandmother was raised on, a relatively large property. so that entire side of my family was bavarian but made a familial transition (literally dude brought his siblings and family) to austria, and my dads side is from east german and only know up to great-grandparents. ive joked to my friends that i have enough documentation to be A-okay during the holocaust

Unfortunately, I think so. I don't have any proof of it but based on the time period, I think it is very likely. It is complicated because there are some antisemitic websites out there that claim that Jews are practically 100% responsible for American slavery, which is simply untrue. Some Jews were certainly involved but obviously, so were a lot of non-Jews.

The Guide to the Levy Family (New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore) Papers, 1710-1835 P-120 at the American Jewish Historical Society summarises that Moses Raphael Levy was a Merchant, which means he traded commodities produced by other people, during the time this would've likely included products derived from tobacco, sugar, rum, and coffee. Those commodities were evidently obtained by the labour of slaves from the Atlantic Slave Trade but your question was accusatory and doesn't insist that everyone involved with American trade during the period benefitted from slaves.

Great research. So my question to both of you who responded to me is what is your position on reparations? Do you think there should be a study? Do you think they should be paid and if so how, or if not why? 😕

@@MrRsj84 To be honest, I've never looked into the idea. But generally, I'd be supportive of some sort of reparation. Certainly, there should be more government-funded programs to counter the systematic racism that is still rampant. In Canada, we had a Truth & Reconciliation program with regard to how poorly the First Nations people here were treated, which at least paid for research and education.

I definitely inherited my father's Gene's when it comes to height because the majority of men on my father's side are 6 foot or taller while on my mother's side, they're all under 5'7 with the exception of one or two people, even my great great grandfather was 5'2!

I really enjoy Useful Charts. Especially the various royal lines. I think it would be good to do one for each President of the United States of America. And other famous people of history too. Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, William Bradford, William Penn and others. Thank You. Louise Rosson.

I have Levy in my family tree! You see my Grandmother on my mother’s side is Jewish and her Mother was a Moss! :) My 4th Grandmothers on both sides of my 3rd Grandmother and Grandfather was Levy, but my 5th Grandfather Abraham was a Levy and he married Jane Levy (I did not know the dates of them or Janes maiden name yet) On my Grandfathers side, on my Mother’s side they were Dutch Degens, Limburg too! My Father was Sri Lankan! If you like to take a look at my family tree please do and I’ll send you the link

I wish I could go back that far. My family tree cuts of before my great great grandparents. Everything else is lost. All I know is that most of my ancestors came from East Prussia. So I assume that my far away ancestors were Slavic.
