This is amazing! Discovering Gabby 100 years later picked up the Gymnastics baton and won! Gave me chills.

I was about to comment the same thing.

This fully gave me goosebumps what a phenomenal legacy. Never doubt we are planting seeds for our children's children

[@DionneEguono]

Nah...Mother & daughter are so cuuuuuteee funny and wholesome together!🥰🥰🥰

[@SartoriallyBlack]

That’s AMAZING that gymnastic runs in her DNA!!! We are attracted to certain things for a reason because it’s genetically apart of our line. I love genealogy and ancestry!

[@AncestryUS]

We couldn't agree more! It's truly fascinating to learn about our similarities with our family. We hope you enjoyed this video.

This is so cool 😎 seeing Gabby Douglas and her Mom doing their Ancestry. Beautiful women.

[@Odo55]

Really great records and discoveries. Congrats Gabby on all your great achievements. It's wonderful that mother and daughter are experiencing this together 🥰

[@carylosborn1808]

Gabby is still just as cute as ever.

[@cillieme4381]

Wonderful family history and story!

[@markchristenson7566]

This was a very cool story and really fun to see the "reveal"!

[@Danny-fs1hk]

Amazing Ancestral History ✨🙌🏿🤸🏿‍♀️🥇✨🤸🏿‍♀️🥇

[@mikaelah8904]

i’m always so glad to see gabby! she’s phenomenal ❤

[@justdidthis]

That was absolutely beautiful. The media and many spectators owe Gabby Douglas an apology. She is a gem and I don’t think we really understood that in real time.

[@TheNDrules]

Oh my god it is so inspiring

[@loddiedoddie7006]

Wow, this is truly fascinating ❤️

[@iworkharvey4103]

Very inspiring

[@myahnombre]

This is very cool. I wonder what the young gymnasts of that time did? 🤸

[@ApostleTarrance]

Big Time

🥲🥲❤️

[@DavidVerch]

And now I am a little weepy.

[@Afrocentric85]

Most Black Americans are of Nigerian ancestry.

[@tamaratodd6179]

why did you not tell that he served as a servent in the Confederate Army? You should not cover the truth, just because you find it distasteful.

[@ChantéMcCormick-e1d]

What does the prove for you? Some enslaved people were indeed forced to accompany their masters who were Conservative soldiers, and they continued to work for them behind Confederate lines BY FORCE. Any high school US History textbook will tell you that, so this is not the flex you think it is.

[@myahnombre]

Lots of black confederate soldiers fought because they were given a guarantee to free themselves and their family. So, either way they were freeing slaves.

[@whoisnickasmith]

He did not serve in the Confederacy. That's another person.

[@peacehappyb237]

I knew she was not going to pick Shapiro!

[@cskyler7091]

I hate to say this (HATE. to say this), but this video is low-key featuring (licensed-free, I’m sure) p*rn music in the background. The incidental music being used here has 100% been used in at least one adult film that I know of (in a great scene, actually), and so I won’t lie, I got taken completely out of what is no doubt an inspiring story. But.. anyway, when all is said and done, I’m just glad those two women are happy with what they learned.

[@LibertyHomePDX]

I loved this so much! I don’t know why but it brought me to tears. 🥹
