This is a show to watch on PBS he does show the paper trail and how they figure out your lineage. He even tells you who you are currently related to. Henry Louis Gates is an icon.
He’s said that very few AA are of Native American descent despite the “my Great Great Grandmother was Cherokee.” She had high cheekbones and straight jet black hair”. Lol I know I watched him do Oprah DNA and she had Native American in her chart. I don’t think he meant none of us do. He was saying that it’s not as prevalent as many AA proclaim.
My Step Mother traced our lineage back on my Fathers side of the family to John Rolfe though we are not decedents of Pocahontas. Our side came from his first marriage. It’s really interesting to see Edward Norton’s lineage led to John Rolfe as well.
Our family has the same lore about Pocahontas. We were chided as kids that she was watching us. To make us behave when out of eye sight of our elders. When the internet was new, an older 1st cousin once removed from me did a massive search. He found out it was true. He found the documentation all the way back to her. Those decendants from her through her son are in the thousands now. I wonder what length of removal I am from this actor. 🤔 6th/7th cousins???
If one speaks about "Pocahontas" in terms of parenthood one should always mention that she was kidnapped and raped. Her relationship was not a love story. Her childhood was brutal. #LeaveMatoakaAlone
Why? It is nobody’s responsibility anymore. I’m sure we all have relatives, men and women, who had a horrible childhood, who has been killed, burned, raped, slaves, starved to death etc…
Because she was a human child of ten years that deserves the respect every innocent child deserves. She has living relatives that still mourn their ancestor and they don't deserve your horrible contempt. That's why. You don't have to respect anything of course that is your right. Leave them all alone is a request any decent human would understand and respect. @@moongodess
I love this for you! Make sure you join the Mayfower ancestors society. I just figured out that I am related to John Alden and Priscilla Mullins Alden. Her parents William Mullins 1572 and Alice Mullins 1573 were also passengers on the Mayflower so that makes me related to four Mayflower passengers. I think they are my 12th and 13th grandparents. I'm still trying to sort this out in my head but I will be contacting the Mayflower society. I think I may be related to Edward Doty too but haven't made the exact connection yet. All of this is on my Mom's side. I get goose bumps it's so exciting! I believe I might be related to someone in Jamestown because I had relatives in England migrate to America. To be determined. ..❤
It Must Be an Amazing feeling to Have that Information. His SHOCK that there is Actually a Paper trail of HIS FAMILY. 😔 We all Appreciate what we CAN NOT have. 😢 It's small things like this that saddens me, when those whom don't experience what it's like to Not be able to know Who you are, or know from an early age all the possibilities life has to offer. When it JST requires the smallest attempt to try an understand. That get Me. The smallest tinniest desire to stop before judgment has the Power to effect SOOOO much Change.
Its not surprising when you realize that they only documented the native Americans that they felt were important , that's how you find Chieves being known and not "common" tribe members .
That’s right! I’ve read that everyone in the world is no farther away than being 7th cousins to each other and after building my family tree back to the 1200s, I believe that!
My nephew's are related to Pocahontas she was also their grandma not sure how far back though but their mother and her grandmother did an ancestry tree for her family. Both are named Pocahontas which is a name that has been passed down thru generations and generations
I have family lore from my great aunt, who is now decreased. She continued her entire life to say we were descendents of sitting bull. This is back in the day when people didn't speak of being native. We have a family picture of my grt grt grandmother who looks Native American standing next to a buggy with a white man on the buggy The story was that he was a horse trader and traded horses for her. She went on to be a sharecropper and had my grt grandfather, etc, on those farms . I have some pictures but absolutely no direct proof. My genealogy stops at my grt grandfather. I also cant find any record of her or anything beyond that. I have no proof I just stating what has been past down through my family for years.
Lucky he had a paper trail .. many Black Americans don’t…..and why not trace what happened to Pocahontas and her people because she was only 11 when he first met her✌🏽😇♥️
That is definitely NOT as far back as you can go. I was looking at my Father’s line through my paternal grandmother last night. The app glitches and shuts down after “King Huyen III of the Huns Forty…” and he lived from 0175-0108 BC. BC!!! I think that means he was born 175 years BEFORE Jesus was born.😮 And get this… I’m Canadian (Welsh, English & Scottish) and this particular line is Scottish for many generations back but before that, it was generation after generation of French. Before that, Romans. Before that, it was the Huns. Before that it was China! As I said, the app glitches there, but for all I know, before the Chinese generations, the line could have been African! The archaeologists say that’s where life on earth began. Race REALLY is just a human construct!🤯 I also read that Germany can trace its ancestry back to one of Noah’s (You know Noah, he built the Ark) sons. P.S. We are all way more closely to related to each other than we think we are.
Well im not Viking but we can go back on my dad's side to 1400s before the paper trail stops. Who knew i had a dash of Dutch blood? Lol😊 my maiden name is shared by atleast 2 towns/villages in England. I'm just jealous that i am not native, let alone Pocahontas decendant😢 my present day god children are Sioux--that's as close as I get.
I wonder if Pocahontas would feel equally in awe to find out she was related to her favorite fight club character…
You won, best comment ever. 😂😂
She wouldn't talk about it
Pocahontas is Ed Norton’s 12-times great grandmother? WOW, that’s unbelievable! I really want to see that family tree going back all the way to her!
Right….
We are related to Her father!
Cousins!
Man, thats crazy! I'd settle to just be related to the racoon on Pocahontas. Lol
That would be Miko. ❤❤
Hysterical..😂😂😂
😂
LOL
Your comment 😂😂😂😂…made my day
This is a show to watch on PBS he does show the paper trail and how they figure out your lineage. He even tells you who you are currently related to. Henry Louis Gates is an icon.
Fu*875 lie
Stolen history
Stolen 🎉his🎉tory
Do you watch it because he tells you how they do it
BEST show on PBS❤❤
Absolutely
As crazy as this sounds we all have 16,384 12th great grandparents
Just puts it all into perspective. Family trees get complex fast.
The paper trail is the amazing part
My paper trail and DNA shows that I am descended from Attakullakulla, who was First Beloved Man of the Cherokee nation from 1761 until 1775.
🙄🤦🏾♀️
@@aboriginalstraightshooter7967, I'll show you if you want to see it.

Lol I know I watched him do Oprah DNA and she had Native American in her chart. I don’t think he meant none of us do. He was saying that it’s not as prevalent as many AA proclaim.
DNA showed that my Afro Cuban father is related to Pharoah Rameses III. Science is cool. 👸🏿

I love this show. It’s amazing how people are all connected
What a wonderful discovery. Especially for him & his family. Love it!
How wasn't she kidnapped by the white man?
the fact that pochahontas' great great great great... grandchild, is the hulk.

Wow, that’s cool! Supposedly Pocahontas is my 10th gg.

I was coming here for this exact thing.

@@almjuarez3 Wow that escalated quickly 👍. Calm down. And have some respect for the dead. Let them rest in peace.
I love that show.
Me too! This show is very eye opening for so many people.
What is show called?
He's also William Bradford from the Mayflower, his 11th great-grandson. William Bradford is my 10th great-grandfather.
Hello cousin! William Bradford is my 8th great grandfather. 😊
My kids are direct descendants of William Bradford as well. The man got around 😂
@@creamcheese_pepperjelly5078
Apparently so! Lol
I have a friend in CA, last name Bradford, descendant of William.

This is so cool. The sister of Pocahontas is my grandmother. I can't remember how many greats.
I am related to pocahontas also she is my 13 great grandma
Mine too ! No joke ! She came up in my heritage .
It is not only him. Certanly millions of descendants in the US. Most will never be able to trace it
Just to be bullied by Donald this doesn't seem worth it.
That is amazing!
That is so cool. I love Pocahontas. Her history is neat. 😮🥰
That's crazy awesomeness!!❤
My family tree ties in directly with Adam and Eve 😂
Thats amazing
Damn, I'm related to Edward Norton.
Same!
Same, my 10th great grand mother.
My grandfather's 9th great-grandmother is the same exact 9th great-grandmother as George Bush Senior
It Must Be an Amazing feeling to Have that Information. His SHOCK that there is Actually a Paper trail of HIS FAMILY. 😔

...... Amazing 🙏🏽..
Yep, she is also my she is also my 12th great grandmother through her daughter Ka-okee.
That’s absolutely awesome, crazy, so bizzare and incredible to be able to find out such interesting and amazing facts such as this!!!
I knew he was special.🤣
I mean you're probably related to her as well lol 12th generation gives you about 17000 ancestors
Ed Norton is truly shocked 😲
Amazing ❤❤❤
He gets Fight Club and Pocahontas, meanwhile my family is just a long line of weird uncles and an occasional weird aunt😂
Her life was tragic tho
@@ellanina801 no offense but have you ever heard a family history? They are all tragic
I wish my ancestors were as cool as that. That is amazing!!!
I love him
Wow wow wow just fantastic
Damn! And Edward Norton is the shit!
We are all related and interconnected.
Some what.....
And you'd think COVID would have shown us JST How Interconnected we are.
we are all cousins...just a matter of far back to find a common ancestor.
That’s right! I’ve read that everyone in the world is no farther away than being 7th cousins to each other and after building my family tree back to the 1200s, I believe that!
Yeah that means nothing lol I mean just imagine, you already have 17000 4th cousins, give or take.
Our name is Price we also go back to Jamestown.
Fun facts!🎉
My family lore says we are related to Pocahontas, too!! Descended from earliest settlers at Jamestown.
That's so awesome!!!
Hey cousin! She is my 9th great grandmother.
He’s as American as you can get!
Mestizo from the get go!
Literally only 12 people back. Crazy. Back then they documented everything. It's only now that everythingt would be lost
As far back in the colonial United States. People in Europe and especially China have documented ancestors going back way longer.
If pocahontas is his grandmother we know Where he came from he was a pilgrim
Now tell him he's got family on her other side, because she was already married with a child when she was kidnapped
➕
You may recall Sally Field's kin came over on the Mayflower
So did Tia and Tamera Mowry. Their ancestor was apart of the first Thanksgiving
Do you happen to know which person on the Mayflower was her ancestor? William Bradford is my 8th great grandfather.
Wow! Talk about good stock!
I'm related to Bonnet Parker, from Bonnie and Clyde.
😮😮😮
So not the margarine
My nephew's are related to Pocahontas she was also their grandma not sure how far back though but their mother and her grandmother did an ancestry tree for her family. Both are named Pocahontas which is a name that has been passed down thru generations and generations
Your nephew's what are related to Pocahontas?
I might ask my nephews about what was your nephew's.
Whats up Cuz! Im related too, on the brown side😅
I wonder how many “you are NOT the father” events happened in those 12 generations? Show the DNA test
How amazing to find out his amazing roots. You are native american.❤❤❤
We are all related! Hi family! ❤😅
So cool!!! 🤯
Wow! This is crazy but happy!
I have family lore from my great aunt, who is now decreased.
She continued her entire life to say we were descendents of sitting bull. This is back in the day when people didn't speak of being native. We have a family picture of my grt grt grandmother who looks Native American standing next to a buggy with a white man on the buggy
The story was that he was a horse trader and traded horses for her.
She went on to be a sharecropper and had my grt grandfather, etc, on those farms .
I have some pictures but absolutely no direct proof. My genealogy stops at my grt grandfather. I also cant find any record of her or anything beyond that.
I have no proof I just stating what has been past down through my family for years.
Cool we could even bren related but who knows, i do not have the means & then im not a star. Its all good though. Bucket list !! 😅
Mine also, but not as far removed; however, her posterity are denied tribal affiliating because she left the tribe to assume British citizenship.
My grandfather Who was White was niece of the black civil leader Edward harlan Who was also in the gold Rush...
May💙 God 💜Be 💚With💛 Everyone 💜Always 💚Much💛 Love Blessings💜 Always ☺️ 🎇 🌈 🌐 ✌️💯💯💛💕💜❤️❤️💙❤️❤️❤️💜💚💕💕💛💛
She has a maternal living granddaughter too somewhere on the Rez in the states.
i'm descended (on my dads line) from the "black Prince and on my moms line from the current British royal family
Wow my paper trail reveals Im a child of God
Lucky he had a paper trail .. many Black Americans don’t…..and why not trace what happened to Pocahontas and her people because she was only 11 when he first met her✌🏽😇♥️
I really wanna Watch the whole episode
It was good. It is on the PBS app BUT you have to join to see older episodes.
I share the name of someone who got a surprise visit from Chris Hansen
"Got married"
That is definitely NOT as far back as you can go. I was looking at my Father’s line through my paternal grandmother last night.

It’s not as far back as you can go. There are Native Americans that have been in the United States since 1150 CE.
My direct ancester Temperance Bayley owned the adjoining property to John Rolphe and Rebecca(Pocahantas).
Elizabeth Warren has entered the chat...

I'm just jealous that i am not native, let alone Pocahontas decendant😢 my present day god children are Sioux--that's as close as I get.
fascinating.
Wow❤
Thats so cool.
Doing the math with descendants there’s probably tens of thousands of 12 times grandchildren of Pocahontas
That’s wild.
i know, i know, I'd be shocked if i was related to Elizabeth Warren also
I swear almost every celebrity on this show seems to be related to some famous person .
How is that possible
Who was their child and who raised him or her? 🤔
