    “Finding Your Roots” is a fantastic show. I’ve learned more about American history in hat show, than I did in school. Bill Hader is like a descendant from Charlemagne. Tons of really interesting things on that show.

    • @erraticonteuse
      @erraticonteuse 4 роки тому +7

      Lots of people are descended from Charlemagne. I'm descended from Charlemagne, via William the Conqueror's wife. Because I am also descended from Plantagenet royalty. You go far back long enough, the only people who really lived long enough to have surviving descendants were the nobles and royals, it's nothing particularly special.

      Those ancestry tests are not accurate. They can only detect the dna from people who have had dna tests. How do they detect where a person comes from by testing your dna? They can only match it from where you tell them your family came from.

      Her ancestor was an indentured servant, i.e. she had so few prospects in Scotland, she signed herself up into 'near slavery' as a way out of her situation. So, do you think someone that poor had records kept about them? If you were 'somebody' in the UK, they had records about you; if you were 'nobody' then that was a different story.

    Same happened in my fam, but my 5x great grandfather was from Scotland and was the enslaver and had a son with my 5x great grandmother. In va also. He freed her and their son and the other 6 enslaved, he wanted to have the boy educated in Glasgow so he wouldn't be bullied. But never happened. He gave the land to the boy and the mother and my family still lives on it. So my family on that side has been free since the 17 hundreds. A lot of places in va like where my family is from were free well before slavery ended. Where my fam is from had the highest population of free blacks in the US before emancipation. Queen Latifah's story is simular b/c her ancestors were from va
