Please take the time to write on the back of photographs names and date of births. It will help the future generations
Definitely! Me and my mom just started that with my aunt
With an archival marker
Yes my late MIL wrote on a photo " at Aunt and Uncle's House- boy we had a good time" who are they? Don't recognize the house, don't know where it is- everybody who might know has died. Would give it to Their descendents if I could figure out who they are.
In pencil only. Inks destroy pics.
Well there’s no chance Millennial will do that. They don’t have photos.
"You don't shoot your aunt!" 🤣
“Well you think back when you were 22 years old and I think back when I was 22 years old, you did some crazy things.”
_”You don’t shoot your aunt!”_
10/10
Dad "When we were 22 years old we did some crazy thing" "Hoh you don't shoot your aunt." lol
LOVE Jesse Tyler Ferguson!!! So proud that he comes from Albuquerque! Love to him and his husband.
My great-grandmother from my mothers side died at 103 in 1988 or something... I’m 36 now so we technically lived a couple of years in the same time... I always wondered how cool it would have been to get to know someone who was born around 1885. I wish my older cousins and aunts had took the opportunity to record and register more.
My great grandmother and I had only four months in the same lifetime, she was born in 1914.
@@connormeriwether4686 I was lucky to have my grandmother around (born on 1915) until 8 years ago... I loved to hear the stories and all she seen.
You wouldn't necessarily get all the juicy stories and whatnot. My g-grandfather was born 1893 and he was a very sweet person whom I remember telling silly jokes and wearing suit pants and a button-down shirt even in his retirement. But later reading the printed stories about him I realise he was a child kidnapper! Yes, he was. Took my Nana's older sister from New Jersey to his cousin's ranch out west in the late 1910s because his wife was planning on baptising the baby a Catholic and he just could NOT deal with that. Hid away for several months and made that little point. Back in those days (and maybe even today) cops would do nothing - it's your kid, I guess and they didn't care what the mother was going through. Brought the baby home and presumably he got along well enough w my great-grandmother because Nana born in 1920. All of the kids were Presbyterians to their dying days.
A great-grandfather is NOT a "distant" relative. I know great-grandparents in their 80's who are still active and involved with their families. In fact, the ones I know RUN the families.
My great-grandmother was the matriarch of my mums side of the family until she passed away at 99.
She definitely did run the family.
Yeah I knew my great grandparents and one of mine is still alive.
My Great Grandma was THE BEST.
He didn’t say his great grandfather was a “distant” relative. He said he could accept the situation if he WAS a distant relative... 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I never met any of my grandparents, great grandparents or 2nd great grandparents. I only knew my parents, but never their parents. They died very young, but I know who they were, thanks to ancestry documents and family trees. Very interesting.
Jesse: I don't know, I can't imagine how things can get crazier!
History: Hold my beer
His voice is deeper than in modern family
Not really
I knew two of my great grandmothers and four great aunts. They all lived into their 90’s and the oldest lived to 103.
So wonderful
I never knew grandparents from both sides
My Mum mum passed away in age only of 45 years old ,that so young ,i am older then Her now I am 47
They all grandparents passed away before i was born
In my childhood I was sad that my friends can expierence having grandparents
The least they could have done was clear the search history. "I've seen my grandfather's name spelled with an e at the end." Oh look at that, "Uppercue" in purple!
I think they record their reactions first, and then later record what was showing on the screen so its a clear shot, which might be why its been previously searched
I feel like they knew this already.... but they had to portray it this way to make it more interesting at first
"did you know about this? no... me neither.. its a good thing camera's were recording this for a TV show."
🙄
dad totally knew.. 👀
Fascinating and shocking at the same time.
Awww, his parents divorced as soon as he turned 18. That probably means they stayed together only for the sake of giving him a stable upbringing. They were probably miserable together but they loved their son.
(As for the dark past... THAT escalated quickly!)
Don't project, that's not necessarily the case.
He was soooo flushed while reading this...
Take time to listen to the stories the older generation tells. For their storytelling was/is our family history.
The idea of a family stump was sad and funny
On my dads side there were abolitionists and one who fought against my 8th great grandpa on my moms side. Who was a slave owner and one of the founding fathers of America. (Robert Morris). My families came together in the end to have me and my sister. (My parents are divorced and their families can’t stand each other again.) but it’s cool how they started off on opposite sides of history. Came together and had children. And even moved states from Pennsylvania and eventually Texas around the same time as well. Just mind blowing
"Unexceptional" doesn't mean he was respected - it means that he was not out of the ordinary or unremarkable.
Aye, it means he was just there, that's the only thing people could say about him, not that he was a genius or a character or a monster or anything, he was just there.
“Unexceptionable”, not “unexceptional”. In the context of a reputation it normally means not open to objection, unquestionable, or even impeccable.
Wow the great grandfather looks just like his father. Amazing how genetics work. His great grandfather actually had very kind eyes.
I'm from Baltimore, Md and I went to school with uppercues..i wonder if same family.
7:32 What kind of trees are those in the front yard? Beautiful landscaping...
oh please, he knew that history. if he knew his grandmother he DEFINITELY head that her father murdered his aunt. the smirk on his fathers face... the oh I've seen it spelled with an E.. come on
How did he survive growing up in a desert
As a red head myself, I have to say lots and lots of sunscreen.
Hats.
I heard him say it would be different if it were a distant relative but is his grandmother's father
Being a redhead I can say this: those moments of stubbornness are called being red Headed!
As a fellow Redhead, I agree with this comment
I grew up with two great grandfathers and three great grandmothers.
I new all 9 of my great aunts and uncles they all live in one town as me so definitely not distant.all on my mothers side of the family. Nothing known no one left to meet on the other side of the family. I understand both points of view.
Wow! I envy you😭 i don't even know how my paternal grandmother looked like or anything of my paternal grandfather. Asfor my maternal family I know at least my great grandmother
My only gran died when I was 5 .
The sad part can be that good roots are one part but the bad stories of the other part of ancestors can be weighing a lot more then the good ones
Only if you take it very personally. When it comes down to it, they are just strangers linked to us by blood relation.
@@GameChanger597 No, they are not, family history, generational trauma, hereditary things are all real. Don't try to be edgy.
Well...obviously.
Where is the rest of the story?
what kind of name is "Uppercu"?
🤔
His father’s surname is Ferguson and his mother’s maiden name is Doyle. He can’t really be anything other than Scottish
I would think so too.
Doyle is a Irish name as is Ferguson
@@josephinehurley6130 I’ll rant you Doyle common in both but Ferguson is predominantly Scottish in both population and origin
Doyle is Irish Ferguson is Scottish, I'm Scottish with Irish grandparents on my mother's side and my surname is McGuire on my father's obviously irish 🏴🇮🇪
@@josephinehurley6130 Ferguson is Scottish
He looks like his dad
Really makes me laugh when I see Americanised versions of British shows.
The music.. How it's produced.. It's a laughing stock of what it could be.
The small changes make a huge impact.
Background music for a start.
British: Genuinely in the background, calm, relaxing.
American: In your face, the guy on screen is gunna do something, WOOO SO EXCITING !!
he's going to talk to his dad, tone it down a little
Oh my good lord, the music when he found out about the murder.
Does it really have to be like that ?
Same with Gordon's shows. American TV is like made for kids with super short attention span...
@@Nipponing sums up a lot of Americans quite well
Says someone from a country that puts in entire family in gilded pumpkins and parades them with 1,000 horses every time one of their second cousins gets knocked up. Come on, every society is ridiculous, relax.
@@astrotter did you actually compare 'Who do you think you are/Kitchen Nightmares' to a one and a half thousand year old tradition?
Could you at least make an argument that's relevent?
@Wubba Wubba Are we obsessed? I mean I know what you're trying to say.
Americans are living in my head because I'm here commenting on an American TV show.
reality is watch this channel on youtube for the british version, while I was looking for something to watch I came across this guy. Growing up I liked modern family, I liked him so I thought I'd give it a go.. and then I was hospitilised by the cringe. I commented on the experience I just had and that itself made me remember other overly dramatic americanised shows. So to imply that because I was commenting on something that was happening at that time for me as me being obsessed with Americans... you need to deflate that ego a bit sunshine.. no ones obsessed with americans... apart from americans.
Make sure you get all the information about your parents lives before You as well as your grandparents and all great grandparents. You will never have many more chances!
My skin tone as a redhead doesn’t want to be raised in the desert
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀
Whats the follow up on this story
Finding a strange yearning to visit Scotlandlandshire
Oh don’t stop it there!
so Uppercu doesnt sound like a real name unless it's German / Dutch?
maybe it's one of those names that was changed when they emigrated to the US?
Its actually German. Don't think it was changed when they came over.
That’s a shame, but he’s not responsible
I don't look anymore in my past i don't need that responsibility on my back.
❤️ Thank You ❤️
It takes all kinds to make a family.
Why was this in my watch history
Lol my granny is named Jessy
Jesse is it female or male name?
Omg 😱
His dad seems a bit silly .......
A great-grandfather IS an extremely distant ancestor. Mine served in the Civil War.
Either some people got to business late or you're...a mature person. My oldest great-grandparent was exactly 100 years older than me, and thats only because his son had kids later than average.
That is only three generations back.....that is NOT distant.
@@CoRLex-jh5vx Pretty accurate description.
EDIT: Might I add, tactful 😉 😂
I knew and remember my great grandfather. His father served in the Civil War.
Its only your parents grandparents..my grandmother is great grandmother to 12 kids and she is just 80 n running around like a 60 yr old.
My family is my big son and little son.that is it
I'm English never heard of this guy but this looks interesting I think could be the beer and dope talking but yeah bed time.
😂😂😂
Celebrated?
Great story. Well I guess he will not be sharing this with his kids. The proverbial genaelogy dead end. Not a hereditary transmissable thing ,is it? Nope. A uni-generational thing. Yet it does not end.
Do u Guys ever chose non celebrities?
The point of this show is doing genealogical research on famous people. There are other shows where they help ordinary people find out more about their family tree. If that's what you are looking for. You are watching the wrong show.
Who cares about the line that isn't your surname?
His voice is annoyingly overpitched
girl u look like u r an insufferable person to be around and u always have a hot morning breath u got no right to talk
@@ece-li9qe I think you forgot to mention that God awful hair.
