  • CBS Evening News Anchor Norah O’Donnell is discovering family history that has been lost for generations. She took part in the PBS special “Finding Your Roots,” which is helmed by famed professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. O’Donnell found out that her Irish great-grandmother became a widow at 19, and that her grandmother Mary started working in a linen factory at 12, before eventually leaving Ireland for the United States at 20. #InsideEdition

    I learned a lot of interesting stuff about my family. My ancestors on my mom’s side were from the Cherokee Tribe. One of my female ancestors claimed to have had a vision of The Trail of Tears before it happened, another female ancestor was the last medicine woman of her tribe, another one helped some soldiers, and a male ancestor killed a bunch of soldiers. And I’m related to Belle Starr through marriage...she married two men who were directly related to my great-great grandfather. We even found my great-grandmother’s younger half-sister that none of us had met before until two years ago. It’s pretty cool what you will find when you look up your ancestors.

      The families actually came from Donegal. Sarah married Dennis in Uphall (Scotland) and he died. She must have then gone to Belfast to work before going to America.

      I watched these ‘celebrity’dna ancestry results many times and most of the caucasians on said show had slave owning ancestors

    Belfast, NORTHERN Ireland, a city of the United kingdom Not the Republic of Ireland, which is a country unto itself, known as 'Ireland'. The distinction is somewhat important!

      @@gary7118 I don't understand why Northern Ireland would choose to pledge loyalty to the U.K. and fight for decades against their own country, but, as you would know, that's what happened.
      It seems to me that Northern Ireland wants dual citizenship: English and Irish..So yes Irish, but also loyal to the U.K., not the Republic of Ireland. So, whatever way you look at it, Northern Ireland is distinct from The Republic of Ireland. No matter how we would prefer it to be.
      If you can shed further light on this, as I am neither from Northern Ireland, nor the Republic of Ireland, that would be appreciated.
