  • If one version of the claim is true, many of John F. Kennedy's ancestors weren't even Irish.
    Millions of people have heard that almost all American Presidents are related to each other and descendants of one English king. Is that true? What does this claim say about our understanding of kinship, power and genealogy?

    I do not believe Franklin Pierce had proven royal ancestry. Are you sure this was fact-checked? Also, this has nothing to do with royalty, but I remember finding a line on the Genealogy website which appeared to lead from President Reagan back to a Mayflower passenger. No other source has backed this up. This supposed line contradicts his Irish roots. I am very skeptical.

      Gary Boyd Roberts can be wrong, but the Pierce descent is by him. Henry I through Gloucesters and Wales to both Griffith Bowen and his wife Margaret Fleming. GBR definitely doesn’t have a Mayflower ancestor for Reagan and has seven foreign-born great-grandparents for him with the eighth being either born in NY or Ireland.

      Exactly. Even for those who can be traced, it’s generally something like 5 out of 2^16 lines going to Edward I, and > 64,000 unknown lines in the same generation. That’s not even a “bloodline” strictly as the probability of inheriting a single segment from a particular 16th generation ancestor is basically 0. Due to the continuities of inherited privilege, those with such lines (even when they don’t know about them) are statistically more likely to attain high status where there’s been no major social break, but that’s not the argument being made.

      Close? None at all. Even for the US presidents who have some noble ancestry it’s less than 0.1%, even for the highest (Washington and FDR). This is because English nobles’ younger children married what you might call patroons. The vast majority of their ancestry is common. The only possibilities of direct patrilineal links are Washington from the house of Dunkeld and Kennedy and Reagan from Irish kings. But none of those three are proven. Washington’s is the most believable.

    • @rootsandroutes1
      @rootsandroutes1  Рік тому +3

      Eisenhower can’t be linked to John with records because records weren’t well kept in German-speaking regions for people of his ancestors’ social status, and because diffusion of royal ancestry to commoners was lower in the Holy Roman Empire due to nobles taking up the social role that commoner gentry did in England. Mathematically speaking, it is certain John and Eisenhower did share common ancestors - probably Frankish or Burgundian ones later than Anglo-Saxon. However, actual relatedness is an entirely different question, to which the answer is always “yes”. This video is about whether there are records showing the relationship. There aren’t and never will be. By the way, John was the third post-1066 king who was partially Anglo-Saxon (by records) through Henry I’s wife Matilda of Scotland - following his brother Richard and father Henry II.

    Something I've noticed is that the presidents with proven descents from Edward III tended to come from much more elite and aristocratic families, like the Bush family, Jefferson family, Washington family, Roosevelt family, etc. than the ones with proven descents from less recent monarchs. George W. Bush has an especially elite ancestry, with 5 gateway ancestors, several important figures in early American history, and the like in his heritage, not even counting the fact that one of the presidents was his father. Compare this with Clinton, Carter, Grant, and Reagan, who all came from middle class families. Carter does have a royal descent, but it is from John's father, Henry II. A lot of these proven royal descents also seem to be pretty rare anywhere else but in America and Quebec, since these places were initially founded and settled by some members of the Renaissance Era aristocracy who were in turn descended from medieval royalty. On "Who Do You Think You Are", it's considered exceptional when someone on the English verison can actually trace back to William the Conqueror. In America, it's literally every second person with colonial heritage.

    • @rootsandroutes1
      @rootsandroutes1  11 місяців тому +3

      I concur. The higher barrier to marriage across social class in Britain is also observable in the split genealogy of PMs. The royal-descended ones tend to be actual aristocrats (especially early ones, but also as late as Douglas-Home) and/or known descendants of illegitimate lines (from Grafton to Cameron and Johnson). They knew who they were - and the PMs from other social class backgrounds did too. There's no reason to expect Attlee, Lloyd George or May to ever have such a documented line, whereas if one were discovered for Grant, Arthur, or even Clinton it would be no real surprise. There's none of the phenomenon so common in North America where so many people *mostly* descend from poorly-recorded lower class lines, but can discover they are 1/16th or 1/32nd royal-descended landed gentry due to some younger child from high-TFR places like Connecticut who joined the westward migration as far as Wisconsin or Tennessee, often holding a position of higher socioeconomic status there.

      The records connecting the other half aren’t hidden; they don’t exist at all. As you say, that doesn’t mean the remainder *aren’t* descendants of John. Indeed I’ve written elsewhere that his mother Eleanor’s descendants are probably in the hundreds of millions, making it a common ancestry in the “West” as a whole - and even more concentrated in the regions and classes from which U.S. presidents have had ancestry. But the overrepresentation in the halls of power of this cohort of a few hundred million is due to quite-openly-maintained systems of class, race, and inherited-wealth hierarchies and the very not-democratic nature of republican governance - with many positions passing openly as we all know to sons and wives. Odious trends on their own, without requiring any cabal.

    Obama's common ancestors with Madison were Edwin Conway and Martha Eltonhead. However, the alleged connection to the King that they share there may be erroneous. Two people named John Stanley were probably mistakenly labelled as the same person. Also, given how little we know about JFK's real heritage, it is not necessarily impossible for him to be descended from King John I, as England and Ireland could have still exchanged immigrants, and some English were still Catholics, right? Religion can also change across generations. Also, we really do not know all of Eisenhower's ancestry, so we cannot assume that he was of entirely German descent.

    • @rootsandroutes1
      @rootsandroutes1  Рік тому

      Thank you very much for the Eltonhead/Conway information. I don’t doubt that JFK *could* be descended from John via his Hiberno-Norman descendants in a line whose records will forever remain lost to us (or never existed), and even if Eisenhower isn’t descended from John, he’s descended from some earlier king. John’s mother Eleanor of Aquitaine even had many early HRE descendants. Mathematical models of medieval royals’ descendants really do require 8 or 9 digits to count, and I have other content elsewhere online discussing that. This one, as you know, is about the separate concept of recorded ancestors and the attempt to fake them with wishful thinking or lies, as with your Stanley example, the false Fitzgeralds, or Eisenhower’s Boones.

I am knowledgeable about this lineage because my mother was a direct descendant of Richard Singletary also. Richard Singletary was not related to the Singletary family of the UK (there is only one) because the Y-DNA test has proven this through Richard Singletary's male descendants.

    By the way, I have d'Avignon's poster at home. Once I get back I might be able to send you pictures if you want to see which lines she used for each president. Many of them are indeed wrong-she cites Alice Strother as Tyler's paternal grandmother, despite the fact that Tyler named his daughter after the woman usually believed to be his paternal grandmother, Anne Contesse.

    You make a lot of logical sence , but there is some weird connection somewhere.

      You’d like my more recent take better, not on this app yet. It doesn’t at all contradict this video that focuses only on showing the “all presidents have until-recently-hidden documented links” is wrong. But it does take the topic seriously, explaining why there is indeed a higher degree of connection than one would expect: the social capital that buys elections is part of the same mechanism that constructs race and class, and British gentry ancestry (or appearing as if that ancestry is believable) has historically been at the center of certain elements of that class. Or at the very least assimilation to it.

    There is no way the Irish Catholic Kennedys are connected to the British Royal Family, since Henry VIII no Catholics have held the royal seat, and until this day they ae not allowed.The Kennedys would have had to have protestant ancestry to have any royal blood.

    • @rootsandroutes1
      @rootsandroutes1  11 місяців тому +1

      Well, to be fair no one is saying they're descended from Tudors or later. The claim is a connection to the Plantagenet kings, who were Catholic. There are plenty of real lines from Irish Catholics through Cambro-Normans - including Fitzgeralds - to early kings like Henry I. The problem is that all the proposed trees from JFK to Cambro-Normans are based on no real sources.

    It makes one wonder, of all the other presidential canditates, especially the final opponent, how many of them were, or are in the general population. Please note, royalty, the rich and the well off interbred a LOT, usually raised more children each generation and were usually healthier. It may be a statistcal glitch, anomally, whatever, more than a ''plot'', but is it simply more affluential and/or intellectual candidates tend to win more often, and King John and his children just begat more? I like Obama, but that is stretching it... The current idea is that President Trump was THE ONLY non descendant of King John.

    • @rootsandroutes1
      @rootsandroutes1  11 місяців тому

      It's important to differentiate here between recorded descendants of royalty (i.e. the half of presidents who have documented lines) and mathematically-modelled descendants of royalty (literally everyone, including presidents).
      I'd also say it's way more than a glitch or anomaly, without it needing to be a "plot". It's accumulated social capital that tends to go along the same lines that are recorded. And this is just as bad an outcome as if it *were* a plot. Difference is, in the real version, it's open.
      If you have a recorded line, that means at no point did it become "unimportant" enough before full-population censuses to have its records lost. Everyone has a mathematically-likely line to the rulers of their ancestral region 1,000 years ago. Those with *recorded* lines also got social capital from it (for instance Washington being a member of the gentry), and social capital is very useful for getting real capital and political power. Washington had an unknown maternal grandmother and has 60% unknown lines in generation 6, but his inherited wealth line came from the same direction as his Edward III recorded descent. Yet, the maternal grandmother was probably a descendant too; just won't ever be known because some or many links along the line were poor.
      Anyway, too long for a comment. Videos upcoming on Washington and Trump.

      This FitzGerald route is significantly more plausible than the two presented in the video, and why my comment below mentions Henry I - a FitzGerald ancestor - as a mathematically-believable non-Irish royal ancestor for JFK. There’s still no generation-by-generation evidence leading back from the Fitzgeralds of Bruff though.
      On your side is that Y-DNA or is there a triangulated autosomal ancestor somewhere in that line?

    Another thing. Preceding Presidents often had less knowledge of ancient family ties than current ones, simply due to lack of knowledge. Genealogy has exploded with computer data bases, you can't equalise what they knew then with a search can do for you now, what could not have been done 40 years ago is now a simple matter. Trivialising what a president knew 60 years ago pre computers ''could have done'' when it wasn't possible pre computers. I knew one grandparent, the others died earlier, and I don't know of ANY family prior.

    • @rootsandroutes1
      @rootsandroutes1  11 місяців тому

      Right. It's not so much about what ancestry the presidents themselves knew, but about the fact that there are armies of genealogists with distribution across all the places where there are records who will do the genealogy of the rich and famous, living and dead, for free. The ones who cite their sources consistently come up with the about-half number, which again, isn't the number who are descended from kings; it's the ones with documented routes. The ones who do things like make up JFK being descended from Protestant Virginians or the Trump equivalent I'm posting soon, do *not* cite sources, because there aren't any. JFK and Trump both probably do have lines to medieval kings of Ireland (and through them Henry II) and Lords of the Isles respectively. There just won't be records.

      To take it another level, the term "president" had previously been used primarily for universities and joint-stock companies. Using it for "head of state" and giving that head of state *greater* powers than George III had was not "not having a king". It was having an elected, term-limited king who wasn't called a king, and who could gradually accrue more and more power to the office. Having an elected king wasn't even a new concept.
