The last story of the young 13 yr old and how the family keeps his memory going thru generations was so very touching. It made me cry. Beautiful. "You're never truly dead until the last person who remembers you dies." He lives on thru the family. 😭
Brad is the best among all these historians! he's kind, sensitive, interesting and informative :)
Thank you for sharing Harvey’s picture and story. I hope the folks that need to think of him will. I certainly will. I can’t help but think of all those young people who showed us the worst of what humanity can do. We need peace is this world. My son her grandson and Harvey we all need peace.
He does resemble George Clooney.
I have to admit I didn't watch the video, but wouldn't you be adamant about NOT being related to George Clooney?
He looks more like George's father, Nick.
While these stories are interesting, I do wish they went further and fleshed out the family trees more fully.
Absolutely agree
DEFINITELY ‼️
At least in the first story it seems to me that the applicant is someone who wants to do the fleshing out themselves, so they focused on the specific request at habd
I agree.
Truly fleshing out a family tree takes hundreds of hours of work
George Clooney’s family are from the same small town as my family, Maysville, KY. Our family ancestors are buried there too.
I’m over 10 minutes into this, it looks like a great video!
He looks like the love child of George Clooney and Paul McCartney.
He wasn't "adamant". He was just curious.
I don’t think he was adamant about being related to George.
The HMS Redpole was sold to an American internet millionaire and functioned as a recreational yacht for about two decades before being again sold to a mercenary company and sent to Somalia. Just a tie in to one of the stories.
Jeremy, being Irish and French, may also have English ancestry. Even though he only looked at the Clooneys, he ought to look at George Clooney’s mom’s side. More to the fact, the Whitehouses. The line has roots in England.
And do a DNA test.
I did genealogy for 40 years & went back to the 1500's on many sides. The older I get, the more it doesn't matter at all.
Since 1 out of 10 children weren't from their biological father, I wouldn't trust the bloodlines unless it's confirmed by dna.
I’m laughing because the one lady is so relieved her ancestor was not a slave master. Like it would be any of her fault 😂😂😂
My Grandfather was there at the release of prison camps for Jews where the men looked like skeletons with paper skins. The Germans had left days before and left the gates open too but all were afraid to try and leave. My Grandfather got a prisoner from a prior camp to come in and show them all they really were free! He walked in and out several times and then grabbed one of the men and walked him out arm in arm the the man cried pitifully expecting gunfire. But after 3 men exited they believed it. Then they came back and helped get out the men who could no longer walk. Grandpa told me he felt just so sick for some of these men who even with some soup would likely still die. To make it all the way to freedom and then still die seems a terrible shame. But that was not uncommon.
Yeah ,most of us are very aware of this ,as most of us have studied both old and modern history in school … and personally I’ve talked with my grandparents and great grandparents who lived through the war.
One of my mom uncles was killed on the 10 of April 1940, the day after Germany invaded us.
He was 18 and graduated from the military academy with special honors it’s just 2 weeks earlier . His best friend who later became a famous Norwegian poet, wrote a poem about him!
He was killed in one of the first shoot outs trying to prevent the Germans to get control over one of Norway largest ammunition factories.
All of my moms dads younger brothers was in the resistance and 3 of them was captured and held for several years at camp Grini here in Norway. One of his brothers was sent to one of the camps in Germany , he came home deaf on one ear and paralyzed in half his face because of torture.
He never wanted to talk about it.
I’ve heard my other grandparents who lived in a part of the country that was a bit calmer , tell everything they went through.
People getting killed for wearing a red beanie, not having all of their papers on them at all times .
My grandparents married during the war, scraping together every ration card they could get.
Luckily my grandma lived on a farm that they later took over .
They held the wedding in the barn, decorated it in wild flowers and cooked the best food all of them have had in years since the whole village pulled their rations together and they married during fall when they could harvest stuff, slaughter a pig and the chickens laid eggs for a wedding cake
My father was a baby boom baby, born July 22. 1945 right after the war ended.
I write a school paper in 8th grade about how the war affected our county. I interviewed many elderly people who spoke about things that they’ve never spoken about before . This was in the 80s.
As a 14 year old seeing grown men and women cry was extremely moving.
I aced that project,it was so good that the mayor and the culture office in the county asked to have it and preserve it for later generations.
In 2011 I took my kids and drove to Berlin and went to the concentration camp right outside the city .
It was a somber and moving experience .
The vibes there was like nothing I’ve ever felt before..
the mountains of childrens shoes and glasses left behind by all the people that died there was shocking to say the least.
When you think about how few people who could afford to wear glasses at that time , and you se a literal mountain of glasses, you can’t even get you head around how many people who actually died there, suffered there and those who lived continued to suffer for the rest of their life.
The horror and tragedy is so enormous ….
As an afterthought …
That the Jews now commit the same type of Genozide against the people in Gaza, that they themselves went through is mind blowing to me..
one should have though that they who lived through that would not want others to go through the same thing…
Humanity or rather inhumanity never seizes to surprise me 😢
@@malina1239How dare you compare the few dying in Gaza to the Holocaust .
@malina1239 I am @ a loss of this turning of tables also. It all could have been stopped, if we all look @ each other with dignity & we all look within ourselves & in the mirror asking how have I contributed to these people hopeless; hurt; feelings of injustices.
@@lmrharper3586 Reality sucks but she is right...and genocide is wrong wether you like or dislike the victims.
@@lmrharper3586wow, fuck off. Check your facts before you act like the nazi you are.
Jeremey is a "doppleganger" (look a like) to George Clooney...cool😎...I met a man in Portland Oregon in the 1980's who was a very identical looking doppleganger to Kenny Rogers
The great-great grandfather was in Barbados, because he was in the military, but what about the woman he had a baby with? The one, who happened to live at a sugar plantation?
Was she a slave owner, or a slave? What else could she have been, living there? More questions than answers, there.
Sorry but the military were in Barbados in service and support of the slave trade and the plantations. Our military ancestors were part of the slave trade.
What about Mary Elizabeth Scott born in Barbados? We heard where her son was born, but not about her. Brad Argent said we would learn something about her and what was her relationship to Alfred Clayton who was in the Military. Did they ever marry? Were there other children ?
Yes, really incomplete and frustrating sleuthing.
@ they probably told them more but the rest was edited out
Her great grandfather may have been there for the British Military, but her great grandmother's family were very much involved with the slave trade. So her and her dad claiming that, thanks to great grandad only being a soldier proves no link means nothing! Great grandma was 100% linked through her family owning slaves.
In other words, their family were very much a massive part of the slave trade.
Therefore, by trying to deny it, they're now proven liars!
These individual stories are far too short.
I enjoyed the story about the ship
He looks a little like George, without the extra umph that makes George extra good looking
For the Clooney thing, I trust they checked their wholes tree, not just the paternal lines? Cuz that looked stupid to me, and was very unsatisfying.
Without DNA nothing is ruled out!
I still think he was related to George Clooney. The resemblance is too uncanny.
He does looks like George Clooney with a few extra pounds. I saw it right away.
Have you noted that the Clooney tree has a Guilfoyle and Jeremy's tree has a Foyle? Could be a connection there? They are so similar! He also looks a little bit like P.McCartney 😄
There is a UA-cam video where doppelgangers took DNA test and were completely not anywhere close to the same geographical area or DNA.
Why would anyone want to be related to George Clooney?
Caroline is wonderful!
24:36 The only way to truly know is by doing a DNA test. I know because my DNA test showed I had a great grandfather from NYC and the only great grandmother that I have that lived there during that time was my maternal great grandmother. My grandfather, her son, was born shortly after she returned from NY and his siblings turned out to be half-siblings. So, my grandfather’s father was not his biological father. No one knew this except for her because at the time my grandpa was born his mother was married to his now “stepfather” o whatever you’d call it.
I am very fortunate to have a complete family tree following patriarchs all the way back to Sir William Locke, Mercer of London, Knighted by Henry VIII. Would love to know a detailed history of Sir William and his ancestry.
You CAN'T rule out a Clooney connection without a DNA test.
The English didn't always get married I don't know about other countries it wasn't required and they lived together happily and were considered in the census record couples and her name maiden name wasn't even mentioned. We're talking 17 and 1800. Americans always put if their school of thought on other countries. There are extreme cultural differences around the world America's ways are not the only ways
George and I are 18th cousins, 3x's removed. We share 78 common ancestors, which means he's my cousin over and over again. How cool is that, I always thought he was older than me, but turns out he's about 6 yrs younger.
Wonder if our lines cross? My dad's DNA test shows he is 3c2r from Lincoln & 1c4r from Boone. I know that Clooney & Lincoln are connected 3c5r?.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm 2nd cousin 5x removed from President Theodore Roosevelt. It's fascinating to have these relations.
YDNA testing could likely help Mr. Bartlett.
If you're here for the George Clooney guy it starts at 16:11
By the end of WW1 German troops were starving as well.
Does he look a little like George Clooney, yes. Does he look a lot like Paul McCartney, you betcha.
At 17:22 timestamp….ironic how Jeremy just so happens to walk by a Nespresso shop as the search to connect him to George Clooney. I see what you did there 😜
DNA test!!!!! that is all that is needed
he is a dead ringer for George Clooney
He does look like George Clooney
You can't definitively say he's not related to Clooney unless you do a DNA test.
He looks like George Clooney's dad
Same facial features
So the military were in Barbados, serving their country. What exactly was their purpose there at that time? Was it yo fo with slavery? That was definitely skirted around.
If I was related to Clooney, I’d hide it. He’s not a good actor.
In your opinion!
@ Of course, I’m the one who wrote the comment. So, whose opinion would it be other than mine?
@ Well that flew right over your head!
@ well that touched your nerve. Giving you your power back. I got plenty of my own.
@@Michele-z4k If you were an actor half as good as George you would be fairly good. Your comment is silly.
If you’re not from Mason county, Kentucky or southern Ohio your not related to George
But if you are- you aren’t aware that you have the wrong your. (You’re) And you probably voted red like the rest of your uncle/cousins. You’re sure to be unaware of many things.
So the ancestors from Ireland and England came first before they came to America.
You don’t know how genealogy works😂
I get what you are saying. He couldn’t be a close relation.
@@ikonographicsI know how genelogy work and I was from Maysville, Mason county, Kentucky
