This makes me feel even more blessed having known both sets of my grandparents. This video is just a reminder that so many don't have that. Treasure them now people, before they are gone
When I went to Ireland to meet my mothers cousins, she had met my father whilst he was working in the UK, my mother died in 1966, they gave me a photo of my grandparents. It was the first time I had ever seen a photo of them…..I balled my eyes out. It was an amazing feeling. The next photo was of my grandmothers parents and brothers and sisters……most of the children died young. Amazing.
@@sonnyca Yep the videos are validating but I have to take a break too sometimes. They have helped though because I have managed to get all of them out of my life, now I working on a divorce. I realized my husband is one too.
How lucky all y’all are to have narcissistic relatives. Mine are sociopathic Trumpets. Their current goal is to urge everyone to be infected with COVID so we can start recovery. When I point out that would result in roughly 1.5 to 2 million dead, they say “So? We are all going to die, life is for the living. We need to just rip the band-aid off and start healing the nation.”
Doesn’t matter how many times you watch these types of shows, there will always come a time when the subject will start top tear up and realise just how strong the emotional connection is with family, even if you’re never met them or they’ve already passed on...
I always find it very moving to see that people are becoming emotional when they see pictures of their ancestors or read stories about them...even if it are ancestors more than a 150 years ago. The reason is that we all feel the familyconnection..we feel that we are descendants of people we have never met. I live in the Netherlands and I did some genealogy research myself on my family. I went back to the year 1592..11 generations back. I have been collecting information for about 15 years now. Every time I show parts of this information to my family, even second or third cousins, they are always very much interested in our common ancestry. These emotions are real, as Tea shows in this clip. We all have a need to know where we come from.
I'm curious is tracing genealogy easier for Scandinavians? Just wondering here from USA, because for a lot of us we end up hitting a big wall when we reach the oldest ancestor we can find here in the states. The records of exactly who came over on which ship are not as complete as we would hope.
I live near Zwolle Louisiana. What a small world. It’s a little town with around 1,700 people. If you blink passing through it, you will miss it. But some of the best people in the world.
@@blakebruner5038 Several years ago I researched my family history. My mother's paternal line went to Denmark really quickly, and there I found it hopeless because surnames were based on the father's name and would change from generation to generation, so that Eric Larsen was the son of Lars Petersen, who was the son of Peter Johansen, etc., so no, researching genealogy in Scandinavia must be really difficult.

I am lucky enough to have known ALL FOUR of my grandparents from the time I was born until WAY after I graduated from college. All 4 of my grandparents lived right here in this small town of 12,000 population from the early 1950s........I was born in 1958..........until they ALL passed away in the late 1990s. My Mom's parents lived less than a mile from the home I was raised in......and I lived in the same house from the time I was born until I left for college..........and my Dad's parents lived even closer that that. I saw all 4 of my grandparents at least once a week from birth to age 18, when I went out-of-state for college. So I consider my self truly BLESSED!
All of my grandparents are long gone, too (paternal grandma died in childbirth when father was a toddler; both grandfathers died in middle age); feel her pain.
Oh wow. I live near Zwolle Louisiana. What a small world. It’s a little town with around 1,700 people. If you blink passing through it, you will miss it. But some of the best people in the world.
There are great DNA tests available, ancestry or 23 and me - I know Ancestry will then connect you with anyone that shows up as a link in their database. It’s also great at building a family tree and will suggest clues and matches as it grows.
Ancestry.com is a great place as is the national archives (if you're in the U.S.). If you know where relatives were born or married or christened, you can sometimes start with the records in those towns/counties. There are a lot of genealogy groups online that can point you in the right direction. My mom started doing it like 15 years ago and we've traveled around the country (and she even went to Lithuania) researching this all. Even met a few distant cousins.
If you know the birth date/year of your grandparents, you can Google them. That's how I found my grandfather's parents names. You can use the free version of Ancestry to start a family tree. Google is a great resource. Lots of families have set up sites using their last names.
I recently started watching these clips. I would love to find out where my family came from and who I'm related too. Actually, we're all related. It's about how close in DNA proximity we are linked.
Have you gotten your dna done? You can learn a lot! The other day, had a msg from a woman who we share a GGGM! When I looked at the family tree, I could see the names of her GGF and my GGM were siblings. Also, had a note from a distant cousin in Russia! Apparently our GFs were brothers - when her GF left Greece, he went west and my GF went east. Get your dna done! It’s great.
The grandmother was born in 1920 but married in the 1950’s had two daughters but Tea was born in 1966 so was her mother 14 or younger when she had her? The dates don’t add up !
I was thinking since it was Tea's mom who was adopted... her grandma might've had her way before she married and had two daughters with her husband, hence the reason for giving her up for adoption. But just a theory.
She never, ever has seen pictures of her grandmother? Wow - I've got pictures of mine on both sides of the family - this is sad to think people are this separated from family members like this. Not only have I seen pictures I've seen them in person hundreds of time because they were over at our house visiting 2 or 3 times per week.
Her mother was adopted. Téa’s face and tears reveals her shock and wonder, the result of 43 years of the not knowing experienced by the child of an adopted person.
I like these kinds of shows but am a bit tired of just seeing celebrities. This show and Who Do You Think You Are cater only to the rich and famous (who already have a lot and could afford to have it done professionally). Apparently, us lowly folks aren't interesting or worthy enough.
According to this premise, I have met all the Presidents, leaders of major countries, actors and actresses, Jesse James, George Washington Carver, Elvis ... virtually anyone I have seen a picture of. But, I am happy for Ms. Leoni.
No, those people are not biologically related to you. If you see a picture of a relative that was previously unknown you can say you are meeting them especially if they are no longer living.
Some families fracture early, and are never repaired. I have a photograph of me with my great-great grandmother who was born in 1868, 89 years before I was born. I also have a generational photo with my great-great-grandmother, my great-grandmother, my grandmother, my mother, and I.
Her mother's uncle was Hank Patterson, probably his most famous role was Fred Ziffel, owner of Arnold the pig.... Patterson was also on many Gunsmoke episodes, and even 3 Twilight Zones...
I got the only photo of my grandmother, Laura - who I adore, but never met. My granfather abandoned her and their 3 children: 2 girls, my mother 18, my aunt age 19, and a boy aged 8, and remarried and have 2 daughters. I met them all, was very close to them, Before dying, age 38, my grandmother got rid of all her photos, birth and wedding documents. My aunt, who became my godmother, hid 1 photo, and gave it to me when I turned 50 ! I made 1 copy, gave to my uncle - who always said he did not remember his mother's face. Why my aunt - his sister - never showed that photo to anyone, I will never know, she would not tell me.
Guess I've been blessed have been with all 4 of my grandparents lived a block from 2. across twin from one the other visited yearly and great-aunts and uncles.
My fraternal grandfather was adopted. Both my father and a cousin have done research to discover who his biological parents are. We think we have an idea, but it has never been verified.
@@CottageontheCorner Have u ever watched the show? As soon as I saw the host and what he said I knew exactly what he meant. Its not click bait. If I hadn't seen him I might think that. But no worries. We can all think what we want. :-)

I’ve used both ,in my opinion Ancestry.com is limited at least with 23andme they have the “DNA relatives feature “ where you can reach out to people and ask questions in an effort to make connections to your own ancestry.
@@kcourtney6826 not to sound ignorant but is the service limited to DNA collected in the u.s? Also are you yourself a first generation american? My family is from mexico and my father never met his father. Would love to find his family from his paternal side.
it depends on your ethnic background, some websites are better than others. I encourage you to do some research on the Reddit forums for each and genealogy. Also, 23 and me is less-so for mapping family history in terms of names and the information of individuals within the tree and moreso seems to be about genetic characteristics, human migration patterns, health and appearance, and to connect to living extended relatitives. MyHeritage's free family tree building is a good start.
@Nicky L Yes if you want to reach out to one of your DNA relatives you can send a message. My husband and I used 23 and me back in 2012 and I can still login to the site and I receive emails alerts when more DNA relatives join 23andme . I don’t pay for a subscription with 23andme however Ancestry does require one. Also I don’t do any of the health report features they have on the site.
My question is why her mother did not tell her anything about her grandmother. That seems strange to me. It does not say if her mother was given up for adoption.
My Grandmother was born in Venezeula in Lavela de Coro in 1896,and She was an Indiaan,She leeft here country,and move to Aruba,than to Curaçao to fine a good lives,I don't nothing,about her pass,She was a Caguito Indiaan.
So she was born in 1920, got married in the 1950's and she had two daughters, so I would assume her daughters were born in the 50's, and this gorgeous guest lady was born in 1966, that means her mom was like 12 when she had her?
@@huss1205 She didn’t marry the biological father of Téa’s mother Emily. Emily was adopted as a newborn by a couple in Texas. Abilene had two daughter’s after her marriage in 1947 who are Téa’s mother’s half sisters. So three daughters in total by two different men, one while unwed and the other two with her husband Aubrey L. Addison. Téa grandfather was Sumpter James Daniel. It was all discussed in the episode.
I think that must be really powerful You know the show is going to to go deep and solve mystery But then to turn a page, cameras recording and ga! there is your grandmother that you never knew.
I think I'm missing something. If her grandmother had two daughters in the 50's and Tea Leoni was born in 1966 how old was her mom when she had her? The answer is either very young or there's something about this that doesn't make sense.
Well, it is NOT said that one of the two daughters from the 1950s are Tea's mother. And there's something in there about how Tea's mother was adopted -- perhaps Tea's mother was born in the 1940s? ... must go see the entire episode, I suppose.
A Swiss buddy in Canada looks EXACTLY like the "Iceman". And his father was born in the Canton very near the Italian border. His Swiss German even SOUNDS more like Italian than German. No DNA test necessary.
I was wondering about that too, but he said her grandmother got married in the 1950s and had to two daughters. Tea Leoni was born in the 1960s, so maybe her mother was born before her grandmother was married.
i was adopted at the age of two. before that i was a black market baby. that means i was sold by a judge (who bought me from my father and mother for around $200.00) to another judge who forged papers then sold me to an orphanage for around $400.00. that was in 1949-1950. it is what it is.
The show is to help famous people (specifically) of any ethnicity find their roots. The key would be finding a Native politician, singer, writer, actor etc. willing to do the show and submit DNA. They also often get DNA from opposite sex family members. The Indian Affairs government office in DC helps Natives find their tribes and helps them get registered.
Well, one of the reasons could be because there are still pockets (however small) of Native American communities throughout areas the Western and South Western United States like Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado that still have a stronger, generational connection to their history, even though many Native American communities have "American Indians" from different nations and parts of the United States living amongst each other as I witnessed in New Mexico about 45 minutes to an hour from Santa Fe; that reservation was also opened to tourists during the day and this one family who lived there invited me and my girlfriend into their house for a a little while and I'm black and she was Chinese. Also, not all, but, many more "traditional" or genetically more pure Native Americans do not even recognize the descendants of the African - Native American history that was throughout the South for many years, of which there still are many.
Was anyone else waiting for the grandma to pop out
Yep that would be me

I thought so too. I was waiting for her to come from behind the corner
No, she would be 100 years old and likely not around anymore.

it depends on your ethnic background, some websites are better than others. I encourage you to do some research on the Reddit forums for each and genealogy. Also, 23 and me is less-so for mapping family history in terms of names and the information of individuals within the tree and moreso seems to be about genetic characteristics, human migration patterns, health and appearance, and to connect to living extended relatitives. MyHeritage's free family tree building is a good start.
@Nicky L Yes if you want to reach out to one of your DNA relatives you can send a message. My husband and I used 23 and me back in 2012 and I can still login to the site and I receive emails alerts when more DNA relatives join 23andme . I don’t pay for a subscription with 23andme however Ancestry does require one. Also I don’t do any of the health report features they have on the site.
I wonder if I could get this done. Does anyone know how to contact this gentleman
Recent history of families people don't know how terrible is that....her Grandmother. So sad.
Well that was misleading as all get out! She didn't meet her grandmother, she just looked at a picture.
she saw a picture. what a misleading title.
She is so Beautiful it hurts. MASTER CRUSH ON Tia
Tea" I spelled it wrong please forgive me.
I just love her ❤️🙌🏿
My question is why her mother did not tell her anything about her grandmother. That seems strange to me. It does not say if her mother was given up for adoption.
My Grandmother was born in Venezeula in Lavela de Coro in 1896,and She was an Indiaan,She leeft here country,and move to Aruba,than to Curaçao to fine a good lives,I don't nothing,about her pass,She was a Caguito Indiaan.
So she was born in 1920, got married in the 1950's and she had two daughters, so I would assume her daughters were born in the 50's, and this gorgeous guest lady was born in 1966, that means her mom was like 12 when she had her?
Her mother was adopted, so most likely her grandmother had her mother before she got married.
@BP I talk numbers, and not married or not, the math don’t add up...
@@huss1205 Téa’s mother Emily was born in 1941 when her mother Abilene was 21 and Téa was born in 1966 about 8.5 months before Emily turned 25.
@@noneb4623 but granny married in the 50's so I would assume Tea's mom was born in the 50's, just a simple math...
@@huss1205 She didn’t marry the biological father of Téa’s mother Emily. Emily was adopted as a newborn by a couple in Texas. Abilene had two daughter’s after her marriage in 1947 who are Téa’s mother’s half sisters. So three daughters in total by two different men, one while unwed and the other two with her husband Aubrey L. Addison. Téa grandfather was Sumpter James Daniel. It was all discussed in the episode.
I heard agent Mulder said "The truth is out there"
@BP No. But she was once married to Mulder.
I think that must be really powerful
You know the show is going to to go deep and solve mystery
But then to turn a page, cameras recording and ga! there is your grandmother that you never knew.
Tim Fleming, how is this costing taxpayers anything?🤔... I absolutely do not mean to be rude, but I fail to see the logic behind your comment...
@M R , oh I get it now. Thanks for that. But still...🙄(ugg)
Being shown a photograph is not a meeting.
That's one Deep Impact
Beautiful
May 13th. My birthday too...only 50 years later :) And I am in Louisiana.
I think I'm missing something. If her grandmother had two daughters in the 50's and Tea Leoni was born in 1966 how old was her mom when she had her? The answer is either very young or there's something about this that doesn't make sense.
Well, it is NOT said that one of the two daughters from the 1950s are Tea's mother. And there's something in there about how Tea's mother was adopted -- perhaps Tea's mother was born in the 1940s? ... must go see the entire episode, I suppose.
A Swiss buddy in Canada looks EXACTLY like the "Iceman". And his father was born in the Canton very near the Italian border. His Swiss German even SOUNDS more like Italian than German. No DNA test necessary.
Téa Leoni ~ Beautiful Woman!
I’m wondering why Tea never knew her Grandmother.
I was wondering about that too, but he said her grandmother got married in the 1950s and had to two daughters. Tea Leoni was born in the 1960s, so maybe her mother was born before her grandmother was married.
Bellissima .....bravissima,......poco presente.....
i was adopted at the age of two. before that i was a black market baby. that means i was sold by a judge (who bought me from my father and mother for around $200.00) to another judge who forged papers then sold me to an orphanage for around $400.00. that was in 1949-1950. it is what it is.
You are so lucky to find out ant her I was adopted and never had a chance to meet my birth parents or grand parents...
I see black ppl and famous white ppl on this show. Any real effort to help Native ppl? I’ve not seen any.
Any "real effort"? Was there a petition followed by a promise for effort?
Have any native people reached out to the show for help?
The show is to help famous people (specifically) of any ethnicity find their roots. The key would be finding a Native politician, singer, writer, actor etc. willing to do the show and submit DNA. They also often get DNA from opposite sex family members. The Indian Affairs government office in DC helps Natives find their tribes and helps them get registered.
Well, one of the reasons could be because there are still pockets (however small) of Native American communities throughout areas the Western and South Western United States like Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado that still have a stronger, generational connection to their history, even though many Native American communities have "American Indians" from different nations and parts of the United States living amongst each other as I witnessed in New Mexico about 45 minutes to an hour from Santa Fe; that reservation was also opened to tourists during the day and this one family who lived there invited me and my girlfriend into their house for a a little while and I'm black and she was Chinese. Also, not all, but, many more "traditional" or genetically more pure Native Americans do not even recognize the descendants of the African - Native American history that was throughout the South for many years, of which there still are many.
@@j030977 Why don't you contact some famous Native American actors, artists, and musicians and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to invite those people.
Love Tea Leoni.
You would think her mom or dad had a picture of their mom ?
Not necessarily if they are adopted.
