I wish that Genealogy Roadshow would make a comeback. We need more of this.

[@aspenglo6]

true

[@KC-gy5xw]

I wish we had more of the British version, I really enjoyed them, such a great idea and some great stories that come out of it..

[@karmagal78]

There’s so much still that I don’t know about my family. Most people say that English census records can be traced back for hundreds of years, but on my dad’s paternal line, I can only go back so far as the late 1700s. I just finally broke a brick wall on another line. Can go up to my 4th great grandparents and now they are the new brick walls.

[@denisedarnell1641]

The slave childs family was so endearing to viewers. Made me cry...honor MADISON now and forever..celebrate his life as hard as it was ..celebrate his bday which God only knows if he was ever celebrated .. poor sweet child didnt deserve that life and thank you for sharing a portion of his story and your family history

[@emilyflotilla931]

I'm in tears here. FLY HIGH MADISON, your family loves you and is honoring you. ❤️🕯🙏

[@jillburton6041]

I love this program. The ‘Queen’ of New Orleans’ mother had great advice for us all, accept your history, move beyond it, and don’t let it hold you back from being all you can be. Be better because of it. True for all of us in some manner or the other.

[@goldenlady1213]

I absolutely agree with your post. The Queen's mother spoke with truth, compassion and wisdom about a situation that was painful.

[@emmahardesty4330]

Great show, as usual, but heartbreaking at times. America NEEDS Black history in the schools, all ages. Right?

[@lutomson3496]

laughing at the statement of how the US needs 13.4% history? while black slaves were tracked and documented in history so there is a history..while my native ancestors were hunted down and killed, genocide, like animals with no records, by white and blacks, and were captured and sold into slavery way before blacks ever arrived in north america but lets not mix facts with fiction here..but lets give the foreign nationals who invaded north more credibility? no not ever...the virtue signalling is pathetic..meanwhile all the slaves had a chance to go back to Africa Liberia...and this is the result, while my ancestors never had the chance to have our land back

[@Fatherofheroesandheroines]

Why not just all history? Why specifically just black?

[@barrypayton2832]

Love that story of the African American family finding their ancestors place in history. Saw all those familiar street names from the 7th Ward. And the great great great grandfather role in Union army during the Civil War is priceless. My ancestors served in the 75th/85th infantry of the Corps D'afrique (USCT) who fought at the infamous battle of Port Hudson.

[@baltojo]

I love this! My good friend grew up in the 7th ward and he has invited me over to hang out at his friend’s house over there. I recognized the street names too. It is so cool to know some of the history.

[@CharityS-Minnesota]

I can’t wait for more episodes! Genealogy is so fascinating. Thank you so much.

[@lisasnyder6291]

Queen and her family have such inner healing powers! As a complete understatement slavery was atrocious and should have NEVER happened! Sinfully it did and this family will not be held back by this inhumane, inexcusable part of history. Thank you for sharing your amazing strength. ❤️

[@kathyhoot7277]

So cool they still have the house from Adel.

[@myradioon]

It is not AT ALL a coincidence that their ancestors were from the same exact place in Sicily and ended up in the same place in the U.S.. The genealogist should know this. Many places in the U.S. had Italians settling from the exact small towns in Italy. Many residents of that village only knew about certain exact places in the U.S. by word of mouth and ended up in the same cities and neighborhoods in the U.S. Also the systems/family in a village that paid for them to come over would send them to the same place. It's very common. Whole neighborhoods in NYC are from the same exact village in Italy and speak/spoke the specific dialect of that village. The witness on the births in Italy was most likely a town Godfather who would be present at many births and baptisms (who may have helped send both over even if from separate families).

[@user-xl2og8dp7w]

Same with many Irish families.

[@jenniferbaragar8254]

I really love this show and especially their expert genealogist. Thank you!

[@DirtyGertie5000]

That last interview killed me 💀

[@maryannchaisson6742]

What a wonderful show -Please bring it back! 🇨🇦🇨🇦👏👏💐🇨🇦

[@SpeechTammy]

The number of times y'all make me cry is crazy! Roots are so important in knowing who you are

[@nailahdawkins]

12:08: Your great 4x grandmother was a *widow* of 6. Get it right, put some respect on her name with the right titles. I'm happy she made the smart decision and bought that house! She had foresight.

[@josephinemiller4780]

I can’t wait for the next episode! This one was probably one of my favorites.

[@megb9700]

These old censuses were from an era when people talked to each other.

[@mycatsnameiskaren8253]

Wish this show would come back. This is so interesting and important.

[@rebeccadees2300]

The earliest distant relative on my maternal side was George Hugh Reed born in 1799 in Boneybefore county of Antrim Ireland. I would love to learn more about him and his family.

[@timlol4374]

I love these!!! Keep 'em coming ❤😊

[@goodmanchantal1]

love this show!!!!

[@alexandraperry501]

Same❤Addicted to anything ancestry

[@brendabernstein286]

I've never heard of genealogy road show, til today. This is so freakin cool.

[@sharonloomis5264]

When that family goes back to Italy, would be nice to see the result.

[@monicacall7532]

Another winning episode! Thanks.

[@nq6508]

There is no way that last Italian couple from that tiny island aren't related in some way.

[@BellesDreams]

Absolutely love this show !!❤

[@sno_dash9817]

Love watching!

[@joanneclarke771]

I thought they very clearly explained why Adele had the money to buy this house. He actually said if her husband had not served in the military, Adele would not have had the pension to buy that house.

[@Idontwant1]

I love this program. It’s so fascinating to hear about these people and their families experiences. I have been tracing my ancestry. And I have been stuck. I have discovered information from Ancestry DNA, 23 and Me, and Family Search (the Mormon Church genealogy database). And I know that my parents were cousins 4th or 5th. I know through who on my Mom’s side. And I have a general idea for my Dad’s side. So I’m trying to figure it out. But I’m stuck.

[@tst1200]

What's a name of an ancestor you are stuck on?

[@Idontwant1]

@@tst1200 I know thru Ancestry that 4 cousins are connected to me through both my Mother and Father’s side’s. I’m on the first cousin I saw was connected that way. I know his Great grandmother is my great great Aunt. My Mothers great aunt on her Dad’s side. But I can’t figure out who exactly he is related to on my Dad’s side. I believe from what I have been able to figure out on my own. That he is related to I believe my Dad’s Mother’s side. My Dad’s mother’s maiden name is Martin. And I believe he is related to Lemer Martin but to be honest I don’t know exactly who he is. Because he has been listed as Lemer and Lamer and Lee Myer Martin. So that’s partly what I’m confused over. And I’m not sure if he is an uncle to my Grandma or my great grandfather.

[@TaWandaJoyner]

​@Idontwant1 I hope you are further in your search for the common ancestors in how your mom and dad are connected.🦋

[@jadebirk5957]

They should have had Kenyatta n Josh switched telling ppl their background😅 🤦🏼‍♀️ the black lady with her family is right 28:54 in-slaved ppl NOT slaves..😢 the way he told the lil boy was bit insensitive 😂

[@costar155]

11 years old slave boy wow 😡, don't which hell literally to no one, but these slave owners had no heart, 👍❤️. Pura Vida

[@uralbob1]

How about “learning the ropes”? Sailing ship’s sails and masts were controlled by many, many ropes. Some warships had hundreds of these that terminated along the gunwales of the ship from stem to stern. Young sailors would require months to learn the purpose and use of all these various lines. Hence “learning the ropes” meant to learn the job / business / trade to we land lubbers.

[@nellegoode7488]

Powerful

[@fengoice141]

30:54 Yeah, death certificates & funeral home records are a great reliable source for where your ancestor is buried. But sometimes they can't be trusted for where they are buried. They might have a record for them with burial listed but it might not be correct. For example, I know of a man-who isn't a direct ancestor of me-that was said to be buried in 2 different cemeteries (3 if you include what his Find A Grave memorial previously said). All his death certificate said is that he was buried at Ebenezer Church. The only 2 churches with Ebenezer in their name located in the county he died in are Ebenezer Methodist & Ebenezer Lutheran. Neither have any record or grave for him. Obituary said Ebenezer Lutheran. But, as I've said, church has no record or grave for him. Funeral home record said Chestnut Hill located in the city he died in. But Chestnut Hill also had no record for him.

[@dinahhaggerty8817]

I wish this Geneolgy Roadhouse come to Tyler Texas looking for my ancestors. Father and Mother side of family

[@costar155]

Man i love this genealogists Mary 😍, with all due respect she is beautiful, 👍❤️. Pura Vida

[@jredstrahan1586]

THAT 🔥GRANDPA 🔥BOUGHT THAT 🏠 HOUSE🔥🫣

[@lhea57]

The first story was so interesting!

[@kimberly1273]

Harriste Harrison, very smart woman.

[@nicolepalachicky8033]

Honour Madison by voting Blue!

[@irenem3854]

Lol, Democrats?! They only use black people. Then and now. Always watch what politicians do, not what they say. Open borders are a prime example.

[@janegriffith9598]

Me too!😊

[@lynnstone6998]

❤

[@GeorgiaPrice-yj7wl]

Do these families get copies of the information found by the historians of the Road show

[@AutonyB]

I would love to refund what I lost years ago of my family history because I'm getting old and it's not much around anymore

[@cherylkurucz8852]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gwendixon74]

52 i have a similar story in my family my grandmother was born between 2 marriages we dont know who her father was I'm looking into it to s3e 2hat i can find out

[@emilyflotilla931]

I'd love to see the suit with beads in honor of Madison.

[@Lisa-eo9gd]

That young relative of Adele's is so invested in the "strong black woman" that she didn't even acknowledge where the money came from to buy the house. Adele's husband fought and died in the war! It was HIS pension that provided the means for Adele to become a homeowner.

[@lindawilliamson8979]

He died a year after the 1890 schedule. Not in the war. Adele deserves a lot of credit as a POC and a single mother of six. As Adele's decendant, that young relative is justified being very proud.

[@thesparkypilot]

@@lindawilliamson8979yes, agreed. The pension was only one facet of her success. She worked hard and used what her husband had earned and left to her to create a legacy for her family. Truly something to be proud of!!

[@tjtj6540]

Agreed

[@JanuaryGoat]

You're making a judgment based on a clip. She used his pension money to buy it, but I'm sure that money didn't keep nor maintain it all those years AND raise those children. Let that baby be proud of her ancestor.

[@Lisa-eo9gd]

@@JanuaryGoat Sure, but he is her ancestor too.

[@wuverrabbit]

With the family who Bayer, i'd 100% suggest a DNA test with the eldest living person of this line as well as the living siblings. It will tell them whom the father of Rosa's child is.

[@sonjag.8686]

The Italian e is not pronounced ey, is just e like the e in the!

[@neatofication]

Lol the family that thought they were royalty finding out their father was a bastard omggg

[@devonna6171]

Royalty😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅

[@evlmpyr]

These ladies are all about their 'bad B'dbl great granny buying a house, and the poor investigator struggles to point out a man had to die for that to happen. But still, in the end its about being a strong black woman doin what she want to do. Fine. But their premise is a lie. Men died for her to get a home. Very little mention or respect.

[@llucero2260]

Awful quality. Hard to watch.

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

Female? How disrespectful she wasn't a dog

[@lanedaw811]

The lady who say she a “Queen” only exist as a “Queen” in her own mind, ridiculous.

[@lindawilliamson8979]

Speaking about a culture you know a lot about?

[@JanuaryGoat]

You're so damn ignorant, and this comment is hateful!
