This had to have been so redemptive for Kelsey! His early family research included great grandparents who were definitely not inspirational, but it ended with a very proud history of pioneers that settled in the West when it was very hard and dangerous to do so. Kelsey Grammar is pioneer stock! How inspirational!

This is what they do in the original U.K programme. Much better to do some of the work yourself rather than keep being handed a piece of paper with the information on. Although obviously the work has already been done by the archivists and historians.
The surname Dimmick was first found in Gloucestershire, UK where the village and parish of Dymock dates back to before the Norman Conquest. According to the Domesday Book, Dymock was held by King Edward at that time and was part of the Botloe hundred. It goes on to mention that King William held it in demesne for 4 years and after that, Earl William held it followed by his son Roger. It was sizable as there was land there for 41 ploughs and a priest held another 12 acres at the time. Today the village comprises over 7,000 acres. The name Dymock was possibly derived from the Celtic word "din" which meant "fort"
I knew someone of that name in Bracknell. Which means they hadn t travelled too far. I guess the Act of Enclosures in this country had a lot of people emigrating to find somewhere to live
My tree is Villemere which changes to Corbeau Then Corbett And the family shield is that of a raven We some how have a link to 1066 When William asked for help to gather forces My family And a few others gathered men as Most of the family then Lived in Normandy And area They were the "Norsemen" that invaded france And attacked Paris and failed And settled in Normandy However i can only confirm to 1622
So much enjoyed this journey. As a woman who has done genealogical research for paternal and maternal ancestors, some as far back as the 1500's, I treasure stories of others who take these family journeys. Thank you for sharing this.
Seems unbelievable that they have all these records and archives sorted out, referenced, digitized. All these people seem so knowledgable. I wonder if many other countries have such developed and well organized archives. Amazing if this is all real and true and Kelsey is just a great soul to bless our planet!
I know it would have been a herculean task, but it would have been so wonderful for Kelsey if they could have found the approximate location where Tommy was buried along the trail.
Fun to watch such shows and learn how the area you live in has such history. This area for Kelsey's relatives is a couple of miles north of Monroe, Oregon. Some of my pioneer relatives from the trail settled here, too.
I did too, especially as I live just minutes from Kelsey's ancestors property in Monroe, Oregon, where the farm, Hurtgen-Vue Dairy now is. I have driven by over the past 25 years, never realizing it was land owned by the pioneers of the Oregon Trail. While I'm not a native Oregonian (my husband and boys are!) I have always loved this beautiful area filled with wineries and gorgeous farms. I'll now be sure to point it out to my sons the next time I drive Highway 99, here in the Willamette Valley. ❤
I found about 600 years of my family I traveled the same route my grandfather done for WW2 From where he lived and i was born to the shore of Halifax harbor thru a tunnel walk way under the train he stepped off
What a beautiful story! Now, find all your relatives that are still alive and throw a great big party on your great, great, great grandfathers land...and have a ball and get to know everyone!
I absolutely have lots of respect and admiration for Kelsey Grammer.❤❤❤ he is the greatest man and I absolutely love and support for what he stands for. Kelsey will forever be my dear hero and the wind beneath my wings.❤❤❤❤😇😇😇😇

Funny.. they were all in order on my you tube..Great show.. Always liked him a lot...reminds me of a very special person in my life. This was very touching... My family got as far as Mo. for 10 yrs.. Then back to NY...Fam to Calif. in the 50s...and 80s... Maybe was the land in the 1870s... Were farmers. So.. quite possibly...
They didn't follow the trail of the Krichbaum family from Ohio, that showed up earlier. The name sounds Austrian, or Swabian. I would have been curious about that line.
Joseph Dimmick died in 1860 in Oregon. But Ellis Dimmick (the father to Kelsey's grandmother named Evangeline) was born 22 February 1879,. That means Mary F. Krichbaum from Ohio continued to have children after her husband Joseph Dimmick died. That means Ellis Dimmick is not the son of Joseph Dimmick. Was the reason Ellis Dimmick was such an angry alcoholic is because his true father also abandoned him? Did he leave Oregon because the people in the neighborhood bullied him because he was a born out of wedlock?
@@alisonnorcross951 its is true that the immigrants / pioneers / settlers stole land from the native people ? yes , i'm not denying that. it has happened all over the world for all of history. it is what humans do. a thought ........when ( or possibly before ) the mayflower landed , what would have happened if the native population has killed the pilgrims? if they had killed any european they met , and no colonies were established ?
@@richard6440 I need to nick some land. Well the Spanish, the Dutch, the Portuguese were doing it before the British. People have nicked my land mainly the Normans and Anglo Saxon s . I think I m a Celt. Even then the Celts/ Gauls were from Romania . So you are right .
I didn't intend to watch all these segments of the show, but I'm so glad I did. There is just something so fulfilling about discovering your family line and where you come from. I really can't adequately explain why it is so fascinating.
I've never been bitten by the ancestry bug. But I felt obligated to keep bits of official papers, post cards, etc. Finally my cousin's daughter took up the task of assembling the information and I was happy to hand it off to her. I am sort of an outlier in the family, be also feeling no obligation to propegate. My father had 2 uncle's on his mother's side who never married & an aunt on his father's side. So I think I come by it naturally. We do not know very much about my mother's lineage either. I do have a bound folder of research my aunt did. But no one seems any more interested than I was.
I have really enjoyed this series. Both my husband and I are distantly related to Kelsey. It's great to see the documents/maps/journals shown to get a better sense of what the Dimmicks and so many others went through to get to Oregon!

Having him read out the stories with his voice just seemed so right. I’m sure he has relatives he will never know and it’s great for them he was able to find more information for them.
I'd've been just as interested to learn of Joseph Dimmick's ancestral history in Connecticut and their origins in the country. It could be a very interesting tree in many lines.
What an extraordinary journey! I am filled with admiration for those brave souls like Joseph and Comfort Dimmick who dared to follow their dream at a time when it was truly venturing into the unknown. I can understand why Mr. Kramer is so proud of his heritage.
The imperialistic US government took it away from indigenous Americans who had occupied it for uncounted generations and gave it to his ancestor. What his ancestors did was remarkable. What the US did to the tribal occupants of the land is despicable..
The United States has never been an empire. It is one of the truly great powers in history, which was destined to be a superpower and could not help but expand west to support its exponential growth.
how far back do you want to go , to find the natives / pioneers / settlers in any country? the great rift valley in africa at 4 million years bc ? humans have always expanded , migrated , settled on land .....if others were there , sometimes they took it from them, sometimes they moved on...who is to say what is right and what is wrong ?
I see what you're saying. ''Pioneer is a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area''. To ''Tame'' a country or land is a silly concept we've been brainwashed by feudal lords to make money for 'the man'.
@@logarithmic7 ''Pioneer is a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area''.....but what if there are people living there already ? are the ones moving in still pioneers ? what do they do with the people living there? settle next to them? move them out ? what if the people living there moved there from somewhere else, and kicked the original people out? as i said, how far back do we go ? we cannot be held responsible for what people did 100 years ago, or more......we can only be responsible for how we treat others ' now' ........
Indigenous Peoples have been pushed and pushed almost out of extinction. I now live in the South where there was so much pushing of peoples - out to vine dry Oklahoma - where they could barely grow anything they were used to. But they eventually struck oil!!
