[@Wallyworld30]

I was kind of shocked at the lack of research put into these family trees. This channel is normally incredibly thorough. The big story when Godfather 3 came out was it had Sofia Coppola in it. Sofia was panned terribly by critics some blaming her as the reason GF3 wasn't nearly as good as part 1 and 2. Sofia later of course redeemed her career as a Director in Lost in Translation. This was off the top of my head how could the video miss this? If I had to guess the only real research went into the Barrymore family tree which would be fine but they should have cut all other tree's not researched.

[@user-ge8yn4ql4i]

I think the video was just intended to focus on the Barrymores, with the rest just kinda being bonuses, so they just kept it simple for the rest of the trees and only included the biggest names. That said the absence of Wayans Jr and Sofia Coppola is kinda strange.

Can you do the Spencer-Churchill family tree? You know, the British aristocratic one that gave us Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Di

[@UsefulCharts]

It's coming soon.

[@MrDannyDetail]

I think that the connection between Lady Diana's family, surnamed Spencer, and Winston's relatives who were surnamed Spencer-Churchill or just Churchill, was quite a long way back? I've seen quite a few public member trees on ancestry that erroneously have the late Princess of Wales as a Spencer-Churchill rather than a Spencer, so it would be nice for there to be a video which sets that particular record straight and explains the connection between the Earls Spencer, Dukes of Marlborough and so on. I guess with both Winston and Diana in the (very) extended family it arguably makes them the most important aristocratic family in Britain in the 20th century.

[@re_patel]

I think they descend from king Charles ii, along with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall

I'd be interested in more celebrity family trees, like music with the Gordy and Jackson families, or the Swarzcheneger/Schiver tree

[@alexandrubogdanstirbu4778]

There is a video about the Gordy family

Carrie Fisher's father, Eddie Fisher was a popular singer. After Divorcing from Debbie Reynolds he married Elizabeth Taylor, they didn't have children, but Elizabeth had several with her former husbands, some of whom were in show business. Elizabeth soon divorced Eddie, Eddie then remarried and had two more daughters, both of whom are actors.

No love for the Hustons?

This was great thank you! Looks like there’s enough for a part 2 as well, any hope?? To add to the missing, Judy Garland’s other daughter Lorna Luft, acclaimed cabaret star and featured in Grease 2 (guilty pleasure)

Some more - Moffat-Tennant - Peter Davison (Who played the 5th Doctor Who and was in All Creatures Great and Small) who married Sandra Dickinson who was in the 80s Hitchhikers Guide. Sandra’s father was Harold Searles pioneer of psychiatric medicine, Peter and Sandra’s daughter Georgia Moffett who was in Dr Who as the Doctor’s daughter. Georgia’s husband is David Tennant, arguably the most famous in the tree, he played the 10th Doctor Who and has been in loads. His father was Moderator of Church of Scotland in the late 90s and his grandfather was a footballer.

I didn't realize how far back the Barrymores went. Wow.

[@cindywagner6950]

Eddie Fisher & Joely Fisher belong up there with Carrie. Plus how about the Cassidy-Jones family including David and his mother.

[@josiebishop8460]

Only a suggestion here, how about the Carradine dynasty! Everything you do is fantastic, and I know you'll always come up with new ideas for family trees, etc.,! 😀👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

I heard that Jimmy Carter and June Carter Cash are related but i have no idea how

[@michellerever3564]

June Carter's whole family is pretty famous, starting the generation before her on down.

[@heathermichaelson3526]

While interesting and I had a fun time - I wonder what age Jack thinks we all are‽ I would say that Kirk Douglas was just as famous as his father and most of the Barrymore names were totally familiar already. Nice to see how they connect but give us some credit.

Love your content! Could you please do (if you haven't already) the Orishas, Sapien family tree, the Jacksons and how some of the US presidents are distantly related
