What an epic trip! I was transported along for the journey with all the details, even the little travel issues. Just a wonderful video and inspiring too.

Literally sub after you did your stream with Mr Terry after our Stoke conversation. It was a lot of fun and look forward in being a sub and watcher to your channel.

Awesome to hear! And very proper you comment on this video, where I talk about that Nanny I mentioned in the live stream. p.s. As a film nerd...I imagine you'll be extra happy once you find out about my very close family connections to Hollywood. 😉

@GeneaVlogger I know right! I felt like this would be a good place to start hehe. And since then I have been on a bit of a binge. I love your reaction videos too. And oh cool. Yes, as my name does say I am a bit of a film nerd. In fact, I had intended on making this a channel and do film reviews just after uni but then I quickly found a decent job so I never got round to it or felt the need to do it and tbh I've changed a bit now and the film review/essay market is quite competitive. Instead, I hope to start doing history video essays on YT (I know that's a bloated market too) but I've always enjoyed history and I feel more qualified to say. And who knows, once I've settled my finances and can make that leap to buy camera equipment, mic, green screen etc I get a bigger auidence enough to find myself on your channel...one can dream aye aha But yes, I will be looking forward in seeing that Hollywood connection (starts singing Madonna Hollywood in his head 😅). 😊 😁👍

One question: I've watched several videos or streams where Michael Waas is mentioned or participates, but I think not one of them answers my doubt: is "Waas" just a dutch version of Portuguese "Vaz" (because in Dutch the W is said like a V), or is it just coincidence?

@GeneaVlogger 5 ай бұрын

Not coincidence at all! I can't speak too much to it because Michael has only discussed this line publicly in presentations, but I do know he is working on publishing something about this line.

Wow! What a great trip (apart from the not so great things!). I lived in England from 1981-1985 (my dad was in the AF). Spent some good time in London (our senior trip was there, saw Foreigner there). Looking forward to part 2!!! 🙂

I did roughly the same kind of trip a few years ago, only by car here in the States. I drove from Sacramento to Texas to visit my auntie and some cousins, then across the Gulf states (with side trips to see NASCAR raceways). Seeing the countryside where my family lived was very moving. I very much want to do it again.

@alexandracruz5243 5 ай бұрын

That's amazing that you could connect with your distant cousins and it seems that they are interested in geneaology. I haven't had such a luck, most people do not even reply my messages in Ancestry or Myheritage.

I 💯 percent agree on your high speed train sentiments. After traveling from london to paris myself i realized how great it really is. The convenience of flying with none of the hassle except for security which i mean meh its not that bad. I loved relaxing and watching the countryside whiz by. I would love to have that option for visiting relatives and vacation. I now fully believe that the U.S.'s decision to focus so heavily on automobile travel rather than trains was a major misstep.

@LVRugger 5 ай бұрын

This looks amazing! I've done the "visit ancestors' homes in London" before. My parents were born in London and moved to the US. I didn't know about my Jewish ancestry - both London and Amsterdam as well as Riga - until I was in my 30s. Of course I can't find decent records and several NPEs don't help. Maybe next summer I can do something similar. Question - outside of Ancestry and MyHeritage, do you have any good reccommendations for researching Jewish ancestry in UK and The Netherlands?

@GeneaVlogger 5 ай бұрын

So many recommendations! For London, order the GRO records for your family and also look up Bevis Marks records available online (if Sephardi). For Amsterdam, so much more to recommend! The Amsterdam Archives (archief.amsterdam), WieWasWie, and DutchJewry.org are usually great places to start.

How cool, your trip is very interesting, I'm Brazilian and my family is from the northeast of Brazil. I have 8% Serphardic genes and from the My Heritage website I have many cousins all over Europe, mainly France, Portugal and Spain respectively, but my haplogroup is I1 ~z140 8:31 so I also have incredibly “cousins “of 5 and 4 degrees in placês like Norway and even England(but my family past relatives from outside brazil are from the1700”s century or even before

When you mentioned the speed of the service I immediately thought of the times in Iberia when they probably had to do it quickly and disperse in order to avoid detection.

@Maximedius 5 ай бұрын

Probably not. They had to rediscover the Jewish religion in Amsterdam and were instructed by Ashkenazi rabbis. They didn't even speak Hebrew so the prayers were in Portuguese at first.

Hi Jarrett, I am a cousin of yours from London. We first connected about a year ago through this wonderful channel of yours. I have a question if I may? I am of both Ashkenazic and Sephardic origin. (You and I are related through our Sephardic ancestral lines.) My Paternal haplogroup is J-P58 (tested through 23&Me). Is it possible for me to undergo a finer/more detailed testing of my J-P58 origins do you know? I have managed to research my Ashkenazic ancestral line back to the mid 18 century and my Sephardic ancestry line back to the beginning of the 17th century. The Ashkenazi line led me to London and possibly Holland, and the Sephardi line led me to Portugal and Holland. I would dearly love to uncover more detailed information re my Jewish ancestral lines but my researching abilities are extremely limited frustratingly. Having said that, I have, to my great surprise and joy, managed to discover more than I would ever have imagined possible. May all be well with you cousin. Thank you for all your wonderfully interesting and enjoyable sharings herein. Take good care. With blessings upon blessings, this day and always, - Cailean

First a very interesting video. I'd love to do something similar but my cousins and relatives didn't really go very far, so... there's that. But I noticed something at: 24:10 Did Isaac have two daughters named Esther?

@GeneaVlogger 5 ай бұрын

Actually, Isaac had three daughters named Esther! The first born in 1816 was named Simcha Esther. The second born in 1818 died at 2 weeks old. The third was born 1819.

@@GeneaVlogger Interesting. I have heard of people have two surviving children with the same name and yes, I have also come across a later sibling being named after a deceased sibling like that. And well, I am not talking about the Reuss family :) Thanks!

You did what i dream of. i know my ancestors only until great grand father nothing before it. I noticed the jewish community has a big genealogy community, did it start because of WW2 or even bofore? how did it develop over time? Or maybe you already did a video about it, would be glad if you could link it :D

@GeneaVlogger 5 ай бұрын

That would be an interesting video to show! For Sephardim, genealogy has been of interest for a long time. A big part dealing with items of inheritance, including special positions or money from the community. In Amsterdam, we have various family trees that were drawn up in the past. The modern Jewish genealogy community really started in the late 1970s/early 1980s with Arthur Kurzweil's book "From Generation to Generation" and the creation of the first Jewish genealogy societies.

@@GeneaVlogger it is interesting. You could even do some episodes with different chapters. My fam is from the balkans (bosnia), there is almost none of genealogy research and when i talk to those people there they look at me like im from another planet.

Late to watching this but the Bevis Marks was in the Mark Wright episode of the British who do think you are if you haven’t already seen it. I recognised it immediately when you spoke about it.

Hi. I'm new here. Have you looked at any genealogy for Koreans? My dad is white and Korean. And my mom is black. I very much enjoyed watching some of your videos on black americans. And you have opened my eyes to some things. But I have always wondered about my Korean grandmother. And the 1950s and 1960s was not a good time in Korea.
