"Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them." - Mary Ann Evans, pen name George Elliot. This is the true power of genealogy -- to keep your ancestors & their contributions alive through remembrance.
This information should be known to us. Especially just 200 years ago. We failed to remember just past our grandparents. We need to remember ourselves better
I really wish these episodes would be one “normal” person and one famous person. Famous people can afford this whenever they want, us “normal” people can’t and I think most viewers would find it just as interesting.
When Finding Your Roots first began in 2012, it was during black history month and featured stories about ordinary black Americans; there was one black celebrity versus two none celebrities ratio. As the show evolved, Dr. Gates would hear from whites saying how come you don't feature us, but as usual, anytime blacks do something for themselves, whites want to be a part of it. You would think that since PBS has been featuring stories about the white immigrants' journey to America for decades that it would be enough; however, bowing to pressure from his bosses at PBS, he began focusing on black and white celebrities, which I believe cheats the rest of black America because our stories need to be told before time runs out, our black elders are leaving us at a faster rate than any other ethnic group. Since we are an oral people, those stories would be lost to history and not passed down to the next generation.
I totally agree, I would love to be lucky enough as to get help from these experts and finding out about my roots. Mine, a regular person who cannot afford paying the big bucks to them in order to find aomething as valuable as what they find for these celebrities. I love the show though!

The town called Bialystok is where Bialys originated. A bagel like food that sadly has gone out of fashion. H&H in NYC sold them. And there was a bakery that only sold Bialys in LA, but closed almost 20 years ago. Many Jews left Bialystok during the Pogroms and came to America, including my great-grandparents (who were first cousins, which was very common at the time), where they found a better, "easier" life. The ones who stayed faced a horrible fate at the hands of the Bolsheviks, during WW1, and then, of course, during WW2 and the Holocaust.
Always comes a sense of gratitude and a sense that a debt is owed- to our ancestors for their perseverance and sacrifices- by way of being kind and generous humans in this country we create.
Andy's ancestors life was mind blowing and an authentic eye opener! Our ancestors paved the roads, with had work so that we may reap; the benefits of their labor! Blood, sweat, tears and worn out shoes! Some never had shoes! Remember, that when young people today, don't want to get vacinated, educated or seek employment! Andy, is an amazing speaker, just like his great great grandfather! To be a great Salesmen, you have to have the gift of gab! (I wonder if he sold Watkins Products?) The best Products, in the world!) I love this Show! 💯
One of my ancestor's was a Jewish peddler in Lithuania. One cold December, he was trying to cross a river to sell his wares on the other side. Instead, he fell into the water and drowned, leaving his wife and children all alone.
@@rover790 It made their lives extremely difficult. When he was an old man, one of his sons wrote this story down. He and his whole family lived in one room after his father died. As an adult, he moved to Russia for a better future, and was very optimistic about the Russian Revolution. But then both his own sons were executed by Stalin on false charges of treason, and he himself died of starvation in the Siege of Leningrad. A heartbreaking life story.
That must have so hard on his wife and kids... i can't imagine. On the flip side i guess you are grateful that your ancestor was already conceived when this accident happened.
This group.of immigrants built this country from the bottom up thru the sweat of their brow. My father's father was an immigrant from Poland, their family struggled thru the great depression. A huge family of 14 plus siblings. He was a blacksmith's apprentice & a coal miner & later a farmer. I believe I still may have relatives in Warsaw, Poland.
@OshunEnergy Too bad you are, statistically speaking, tearing it down today...your ancestors are rolling in their graves when they see the hate and bitterness in your hearts.
@OshunEnergy It was not Black vs. White back then (meaning anything before even the 1960's!). White protestants were the acceptable norm as far as the "right kind of person". Then there were Catholics, the Jews, the Irish, the Polish, the Italians, all being Catholic and arriving thru Ellis Island in steerage with nothing in their pockets, on the East Coast. And the Asian population (mostly Chinese), arriving on the West Coast, and being equally hated. That's why America became "a melting pot". And they were all equally hated and treated equally poorly. And many still are!
So why is people in the US so against immigration, specifically from Mexico or South America.They just want the same as all these famous people ancestors. It's the same just diferente time.
Various reasons. I have heard: "Mine came first, we don't want anymore." "These ones are different from mine." (Different religion and/or race). People were also lied to about current immigrants being more criminal or on welfare. Plus many other reasons I am not thinking of right now. These are not my beliefs, just things I have read or heard.
We won’t have health care until the average workers wage equals the health care workers wage. And workers who come here with no skills competes against the bottom wages, making it impossible to provide benefits to society as a whole.
If u are at the lowest point in ur life & have exhausted all opportunities w no strength left… I PROMISE (rarely) THAT learning ur heritage will empower & restore & change u into who u are, were meant to be & provide u w pride, so much joy & u will carry on w ur life as new! It’s the most LIBERATING thing & w solve things for u. So important! TY!
We forget how easy life is now because of our previous Ancestor's hard work with every generation working to strive as for now it's so easy now so where in our own heads to much... that's my opinion.i know nobody suffers like the poor so I'm grateful.
They edited over the Lewis Allen article referencing St. Louis landmarks still around today, such as Eads Bridge. His ancestor walked Eads Bridge. Wow..as a fellow St. Louis Jew, I recognized a lot of this story from my family line too.
I really like Andy Cohen. He has great charisma, and warmth in his interactions on his show. Very cool to see him learn more about his family members' lives, generations ago
I can't stand Andy, but this really resonated. He may have even ever so slightly redeemed himself after this. At 3:20 there's a house with a thatched roof. My grandfather grew up in Ukraine, and had a goat. Apparently the goat ate the roof of their house, and his parents were devastated. I could never understand how they could have had a thatched roof. Seeing that picture helped it make sense.
thathed roofs are still standard in many parts of the world. My gt. Grandfather and Grandfater, in Ireland were Thatchers. Still many all over England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
Americans stress me out. How are you going to talk so heavily about immigration unless you’re native. You literally are the children of immigrants you’ve just never had to struggle through the life of immigration due to that being done for you by your ancestors. ^ me - a British immigrant living in the USA absolutely disgusted by how welcomed I am but shocked by how neighbour countries are treated.
@@winterkeptuswarm absolutely. There’s a very selfish culture here very much ‘I’ll do me, you do you’ in the uk we have a very help your neighbour attitude. Then again I do live in Las Vegas so I’m not sure if it’s just this city or the whole of the US since I’ve only travelled to other tourist places being California, New York, Colorado. Also not many people can take jokes here it’s very sensitive.. can’t really make a mistake without people blowing it up largely
In Australia it is very different . Our country is multicultural and no one is a true Aussie native unless you're an Indigenous person. I think Americans are trying to reconcile with their own past. It's funny indeed.
@@gemma_tan no i belive its vegas ...i have lived in vegas for years and people native to the city are strange outside people are always so helping like you said .i love the european their culture is so different than those of vegas people ..so you are right its the city lol

Even farther back, according to his surname (Cohen) He is of the Hebrew tribe of Levi and deeper, of the Priestly line within that tribe. Cohen means Priest.

I recently dug a little further into my genealogy and found out I could be related to Seth MacFarlane, on the Wood side of my tree. They should do an episode to see if my research is correct. My connection lies within a man named Moses L Wood,(Bef 1777) > William Edward Wood (1811-1887)> John Moses Wood (1855-1908)> Lillian May Wood (1894-1984) [MARRIED Frederick Blane MacFarlane] > Milton Worcester MacFarlane (1920-1998)> Ronald Milton MacFarlane (1946-Present) > Seth Woodbury MacFarlane (1973-Present).
I do want to make one of these tests. Still I don’t know how good would be for our family and us. We don’t have much of a story in USA. Our grandmother from my mothers side, was born from a sexual worker lady in Colombia and the one who raised her was the lady who delivered her. Then my grandma married at 15 but my biological grandfather wasn’t her husband, and we all look so different, my grandmother won’t disclose who is the father of my mother and at this point… I don’t think she remembers it anymore, her memory is getting lost and sometimes she would make up stories to fill the gaps in the story. Are you able to successfully find answers in cases like this?
I too often feel like a lightweight since my life, although not a cake walk, has been exponentially easier than my ancestors but then I think I am what they worked and fought for...they didn't want me to experience what they suffered (trans atlantic slave trade, slavery, reconstruction, Jim Crow, etc). I am forever in their debt
These immigrats stories are so emotional indeed, this database worths a golden mine guys, this is a new Hollywood production that worths a lot of money, this is a huge opportunity for new welfare, giving more artists a lot of things to do, a lot of young people having a new job on a movie set, the Ancestry Hollywood brand, get in action guys, take advantage on the situation because it's worthy, l am the biggest supporter of yours, using the web connection l put myself questions, could we build up a human civilization without violence? Without guns hatred and war disputes? Without misery hunger poverty and desperate people pushed to live in extreme borderline situations capable to accomplish any crime because.. they have nothing to lose? Such immigrants stories are usefull to understand, how did they do it our ancestors get along in those hostile ages, yeah, stories of life that are the most emotional above all, get in action fans, that's what friends are for
So far what I've seen from what I've been abre to gather there's nothing special, all where moving farmers, if anything me and my siblings are Slightly doing something.
At least you know your family were not slave owners! Retribution should be paid by slave owners dependents. Kind Sirs, if my family did evil needs I would gladly pay. Peace! Although, it is also possible that my Scottish/Irish ancestors were indentured servants. ⬛💠🔲

and andy gratitude to his ancestors is to feature some of the worse humans in the world who have more than a person deserves and would spit on the poor if it was allowed. his ancestors deserves better than andy.
My great great grandfather left Ireland w his wife on a coffin ship. Coffin ships were repurposed slave ships after the slave trading had been outlawed, principally enforced by the British navy. Men and women were separated. When he got to upper Canada he couldn't find his wife who has died and was thrown overboard with no record. He had to wait seven years before he got her declared civilly dead. This was from my great grandmother's cousin to my grandmother to my mother to us. Church records in Ontario Canada confirmed this. He then married my great great grandmother and here I am. We were always proud of our ancestors and keep their memories alive.
Andy is a hard worker. He worked hard to get where he is today . I watched an interview with him how he worked as a journalist and started humbly before he got his big break. He is all show but never forgets his parents. He invites his parents all the time on his shows and always pays tribute to them because of where he is today . You can tell they are proud of him and support his career. I hate when people put him down - because he is really a family man in real life. Much respect to this man , his children and family.
Maybe if you actually knew him or worked with him, you would have a different opinion based on fact instead of a PR illusion and brand. Watching an interview, or WWHL, doesn’t give you any real insight to the person.
I find Andy's remarks fascinating and quite amusing. . I live in a country when we have many first and second generation migrants who have become successful. I've witnessed all the VERY hard work they have done and they are now my neighbors and friends. They are truly extraordinary people. It's nice to see him be so humble and acknowledge his own privilege. A beautiful story.
The vast majority of American Jews come from a background of extreme poverty and persecution, like the one depicted here. My own family is just one of those families. Most were also running from the pogroms, government sanctioned, anti-Semitic riots, in which Jews' property was looted and destroyed, and Jews themselves were raped, beaten, and killed. My grandfather had a scar on his head from the kick of a Cossack's (Russian soldier's) horse when he was a toddler. The myth of our wealth is nothing but more anti-Semitism.
@@CharlotteIssyvoo Similar story happened to my Jewish ancestors aswell. Im tired of hearing the myth that everybody of jewish descent is just magically some billionaire. Im glad your grandfather survived all of that horrible treatment 🙏
@@lightyagami3492 That myth is straight up anti-Semitism. Most eastern European Jews (ie most Jews) lived in extreme poverty, brought on by anti-Semitic laws that regulated what jobs they could have, where they could work, what education they could get (not much), whether or not they could own property, etc. That's not to mention the pogroms which led many to flee as refugees and move to America, where they again faced anti-Semitic laws, but not as many.
Andy’s background is extremely interesting. You should read a book called The Thirteenth Tribe. It explains how the Russians converted to the Hebrew religion. One can also verify this study through military history.
The author of the 13th Tribe admitted in his biography that He. Brought back the idea of the Khazars to stop anti-Jewish hate DNA studies have shown that the Jews do not come from the Khazars. But they are descendants of the Ancient Israelites.
Andy Cohen was shocked by his great-grandfather's arduous journey to owning his own business. Are there any entrepreneurs in your family line?
Our ancestors went through so much to survive.
So did mines who were slaves and their kin became free and owned farms, worked to provide for a life for their children

I don’t feel worthy of my amazing ancestors either. We complain about wearing a mask!
For real…people forget how harsh life as a human had always been.
I doubt our Founding Fathers would have worn a mask. LOL
No all of us refused to wear a mask, some of us understand science and how viruses work.
who tf is WE? WE the people of the U.S? Y’all’s family?? Who’s we?
@@Gisi_g bro, who do u think?
My great great grandfather left Ireland w his wife on a coffin ship. Coffin ships were repurposed slave ships after the slave trading had been outlawed, principally enforced by the British navy. Men and women were separated. When he got to upper Canada he couldn't find his wife who has died and was thrown overboard with no record. He had to wait seven years before he got her declared civilly dead. This was from my great grandmother's cousin to my grandmother to my mother to us. Church records in Ontario Canada confirmed this. He then married my great great grandmother and here I am. We were always proud of our ancestors and keep their memories alive.
My family also came on coffin ships

Both of my great grandparents immigrated from Galway
Andy is a hard worker. He worked hard to get where he is today . I watched an interview with him how he worked as a journalist and started humbly before he got his big break. He is all show but never forgets his parents. He invites his parents all the time on his shows and always pays tribute to them because of where he is today .
You can tell they are proud of him and support his career. I hate when people put him down - because he is really a family man in real life. Much respect to this man , his children and family.
cocaine and misogyny gets you far.
Maybe if you actually knew him or worked with him, you would have a different opinion based on fact instead of a PR illusion and brand. Watching an interview, or WWHL, doesn’t give you any real insight to the person.
100%
I find Andy's remarks fascinating and quite amusing. . I live in a country when we have many first and second generation migrants who have become successful. I've witnessed all the VERY hard work they have done and they are now my neighbors and friends. They are truly extraordinary people. It's nice to see him be so humble and acknowledge his own privilege. A beautiful story.
There blows the myth that all Jews are wealthy people.
The vast majority of American Jews come from a background of extreme poverty and persecution, like the one depicted here. My own family is just one of those families. Most were also running from the pogroms, government sanctioned, anti-Semitic riots, in which Jews' property was looted and destroyed, and Jews themselves were raped, beaten, and killed. My grandfather had a scar on his head from the kick of a Cossack's (Russian soldier's) horse when he was a toddler. The myth of our wealth is nothing but more anti-Semitism.
@@CharlotteIssyvoo Similar story happened to my Jewish ancestors aswell. Im tired of hearing the myth that everybody of jewish descent is just magically some billionaire. Im glad your grandfather survived all of that horrible treatment 🙏
@@lightyagami3492 That myth is straight up anti-Semitism. Most eastern European Jews (ie most Jews) lived in extreme poverty, brought on by anti-Semitic laws that regulated what jobs they could have, where they could work, what education they could get (not much), whether or not they could own property, etc. That's not to mention the pogroms which led many to flee as refugees and move to America, where they again faced anti-Semitic laws, but not as many.
Migrate within a country
Immigrate within a continent
Emigrate from overseas
Mr. Allen..the smous

Andy’s background is extremely interesting. You should read a book called The Thirteenth Tribe. It explains how the Russians converted to the Hebrew religion. One can also verify this study through military history.
That book has been widely and thoroughly debunked
The author of the 13th Tribe admitted in his biography that He. Brought back the idea of the Khazars to stop anti-Jewish hate
DNA studies have shown that the Jews do not come from the Khazars. But they are descendants of the Ancient Israelites.
