still can't afford it lol
Can we have a video about the greek Royal Family and the line of sucession, please?
Hey
Could you please not display the "includes paid promotion" notice for the whole video? It's bothering me.
@@joshygoldiem_j2799 I don't have any control over it. It's required by RUclips. It should disappear automatically after a few seconds though.
The Roosevelt family definitely deserves coverage. The breadth of the tree is extraordinary, and every person is interesting in some way.
Indeed.
Yeah would love to see that
And not many branches, lots of inbreeding.
Has this channel created a video on the Harrison family? I know there are two famous branches that included politicians and entertainers.
I totally agree Roosevelt's
Would love to see an extended Roosevelt tree and maybe some other NY Dutch trees (Schuyler, Van Rensselaer, etc).
Yea indee I second this. Together with Van Buren earlier on
Schuyler? As in the Schuyler sisters? Angelica Peggy Eliza?
@@aidanmayfield4063 Yes, THOSE Schuylers.
I'd love to see the Schuyler tree!!
ABE was born in Lincolnton NC AA Springs a ROTSchild knocked up Nancy Hanks. Salesman John Lincoln took HANKS and BASTARD to Kentucky
Just type in AA Springs,
Begin with DANIAL PAYSEUR marie antionetts son, created The NEW WORLD infrastructure for ROTSchilds. Payseur HIRED Leroy Springs.
Typically Lincoln's voice is depicted as deep, but people who lived at the time said the voice sounded a little high and squeaky. I think the actor Daniel Day-Lewis has probably been closest to getting Lincoln's voice as it likely was.
In the days before microphones and amplification, having a more high-pitched voice was considered an advantage in public speaking. It could be heard more clearly above the crowd.
I read not only was his voice high pitch but his skin was dark and his hair was wooly.
@@staceyweathersprice9544 of course you read that.
What I always found interesting was that Abraham Lincolns son Robert was friends (or more) with the fiancé of John Wilkes Booth and Lincoln had given her father special political positions. They were much more interconnected on a social level than is widely known.
Abes Father was AA SPRINGS.
Great video, Matt. I suggest you do the family of John Tyler (1790-1862), 10th President of the United States. He was married twice. By his first wife, he had five sons and three daughters. By his second wife, he had five sons and two daughters. With 15 little Tylers, he had more children than any other US president. Because of one of his son's late-in-life marriage, Tyler had two grandsons living in the year 2017!
Presidential historians hate him as he was elected to the Confederate Congress.
My apartment walls are covered with these family trees, they're great. I'm 75 years old but the place looks like a kids room :)
Great to see Abraham Lincoln's family tree (My favourite president!) The family really did have a tragic turn of events happen to them and I can't help but feel really sorry for them. The parentage of Nancy Hanks is really fascinating and I'm glad you brang it up! I think Martin Van Buren's tree would be interesting as he is of 100% dutch descent, unlike all the other presidents who (to my knowledge) have connections to Ireland and Great Britain. Harry Truman's would also be interesting, as in my own research on his family I came across one of his ancestors, Hans Landis "The Martyr" who escaped from prison several times in the early 1600s. Another bit of Lincoln trivia is that he was born on the exact same day as Charles Darwin!
Lincoln equally had ancestral connections to Native Americans, Angolan Africans and West Africans, via his Melungeon heritage.
Overrated ngl
Smart ass cat
@@ptolemeeselenion1542 Great point; though still a theory and it isn't fully confirmed, I can say that the discovery of the missing father of Nancy Hanks does add even more intrigue to this hypothesis, and so does the anonymity of Bathsheba Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln's grandmother)'s parents and maiden name.
You must hate America to love Lincoln. He corrupted the Union and caused the Civil War. Everything supposedly good about him is a myth. A week or so before this video was released, Rageaholic posted a video about an hour long detailing how Lincoln was our first Dictator. Thomas DiLorenzo is an economist who has lectured on Lincoln's fascist economic policies. It's no mistake that Lincoln's memorial depicts him on a throne fronted by literal fasces. Lincoln's politics and Nietzsche's philosophy gave birth to Hitler.
I checked to see if there was any connection between Charles Isham and Isham Park in NYC. Turns out that Isham Park is named after Charles' father, William. According to Wikipedia, it also turns out that: "William Bradley Isham's paternal grandfather, Samuel Isham (1752-1827), was the brother of Dr. Ezra Isham (1773-1835), both sons of John Isham II (1721-1802), who was born at Barnstable, Massachusetts and moved to Colchester, Connecticut. Dr. Ezra Isham was the father of Judge Pierpoint Isham (1802-1872) and grandfather of Edward Swift Isham (1836-1902), the law partner of Robert Todd Lincoln." So there's another relationship between the Ishams and the Lincolns.
Please do the John Adams family. That would be really interesting.
Can't wait to see what you do with Jefferson. Sally Hemmings is such a tragic figure, as is her maternal heritage.
Fantastic research and presentation! I’m working still on MY Tree for 50 years with many unanswered questions. But so far I’ve got almost 20,000 DNA matches according to Ancestry. Wowza. A few illustrious folks in the UK. I can’t Quit this Pursuit it’s totally addictive. Is there a good method of connecting my mother’s ancestors in Germany to the Hapsburgs which her grandmother swears are cousins? It’s been murky due to the surnames being changed or shortened. Thanks !!
I'd done research on John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams descendants till today's generation a long time ago. I remember the present generation of John Adams descendants are multimillionaires and are married to other aristocratic families of the earth. (4/2/23)
I would love to see this! I'm a descendant of JQ Adams, but from one of the lines that girled out.
Even a video of James Monroe as well as James Madison would be interesting. Those family trees ought to be very interesting.
I totally agree since I'm kin to John Adams
Dude, the Roosevelts would be interesting to see!
It would be cool to see Ulysses Grant's tree
Seconded.
I would like that. Such an underrated president.
I’d love to see this one as I’m distantly related to his wife, Julia.
I'm also related through a grant daughter. NY and Ohio area. My great great grandfather was a Richey..
I'd like to see James A. Garfield as the next one you do. Fun fact, James Garfield's great-great grandson created Magic the Gathering.
Interesting. James Abram Garfield, is the 5th great grand son of the Emigrant Edward Garfield and Rebecca Johnson, and I am the 9th great grandson thru their daughter Rebecca Garfield that married A Mix(t)er, that line stay Mix(t)er until My great Grandmother married a Bowman If I remember correct James A Garfield is my 6th cousin 4 gens removed.
For being the first non WASP president, I think a video about Martin Van Buren’s family would be very interesting
Indeed. And other Dutch familys to. Rosevelt etc schuylers although not actually presidents
That would make of Abraham Lincoln the second non-WASP POTUS, then. Due to his Melungeon ethnicity.
@@axolotl-guy9801 Springsteen.
I'd love to see that, too, because some of my ancestors are somehow mixed up in the Van Buren line.
Was the opposing candidate at the time a BEE then?
Hahahhahahahha
....ill just sit in the corner then.
Of course I am familiar with Useful Charts great reviews of royal families, and I have wondered why it is so frequent that royal families die out and are replaced by other dynasties. This is a great example of a prominent family who had FOUR sons, and one of the sons had 3 children and after 3 generations there were no legitimate male line descendants. I had little doubt that Lee and Lincoln were not related. Lee is a very very common name both in the new world and in the UK.
Not necessarily. I would love to see Timothy Beckwith do a DNA. If he hasn’t by now, it’s bc he knows he’s not related
Aaaand then there's the whole Hapsburg thing blecchh!
The Roosevelt's would be an interesting family to do. This one was interesting. ☮️♥️😀 From Michigan, USA
It is crazy to me that even Lincoln, who we think of as the impoverished nobody who worked his way up through hard work and virtue, was still fairly closely related to men with significant political power before him. How much it helped his career, I have no idea; it’s just like, if *any* president was going to be free from the shadow of nepotism, you would’ve thought it was Lincoln, but… nope.
i get you. I'm not second cousins twice removed from the governors of two states but in the early 19th century I figure it would have been difficult to be completely cut off from wealth or power by family connection. There were only 7 million people in the whole nation when Lincoln was born. With the current craze for NEPO-babies, it is interesting to see even in just a small part, if famous people had some bit of fame in their family tree. My grandfather was a pretty big deal at a huge construction company but according to his obituary, my mother and us grandkids didnt exist. Yeah he was a d***.
I have to quibble with your use of the term nepotism in this case; there is absolutely no evidence suggesting that his somewhat distant cousins in any way influenced his attainment of any political office. You might as well claim that Tom Hanks’ stardom is nepotism, due to his relationship to Lincoln.
trying to figure out which Job Abraham Lincoln got because of family connections, ?? Now appointments he made is a different story,
@@JeanieD all in all, it’s kind of sad he, Lincoln, is related to two creepy liberals. Doesn’t speak highly of his mothers side, lol.
@@dawnyockey1475 , you can kindly keep your hateful comments to yourself.
You could knock out two presidents with one family tree if you did the Bush's, Adams and perhaps the Roosevelts.
Richard Nixon's daughter married Eisenhower's grandson.
Don’t forget the Harrisons who were grandfather/grandson. William Henry Harrison’s father also was also a signer of the Deceleration of Independence so even though their obscure Presidents there’s a lot of history there.
To be honest it would be better if we DIDN’T knock out any presidents (except for possibly Donald Trump).
I've always heard that Jimmy Carter and June Carter Cash were distant relations and that the both were actually related to Elvis Presley. Also, that the Carter family in general has many relations in the prominent families of the American South. It would be interesting to delve into in detail.
There is a book written about Jimmy Carters ancestors (by his son Jeff)
Definitely do a tree of Elvis Presley. He had a female Jewish ancestor.
You should do a family tree of Franklin Rosevelt which would also connect to Theodor Rosevelt as well.
Franklin Roosevelt's wife Eleanor was the only daughter of Theodore Roosevelt's brother Elliot Roosevelt. So had he lived longer, Elliott was not only Theodore's brother, he would also have been Franklin Delano Roosevelt's father-in-law. Eleanor Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt's famous first child, daughter Alice were first cousins but apparently did not like each other. Alice Roosevelt Longworth lived all the way until 1980 passing away at age 96. Eleanor's father Elliott was apparently a chronic, severe alcoholic who died at a young age of the effects of the disease in the early 1900's when he was in his mid-30's. His death affected both his daughter Eleanor and Theodore Roosevelt tremendously over the course of the rest of their lives. Theodore Roosevelt also had two sisters, Eleanor's aunts who helped her when she was growing up.
😅😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😮
@@michaelverbakel7632I was surprised when I found that out when doing my own family tree (I'm distantly related to the Roosevelts). I always wondered why FDR called Theodore "Uncle Teddy" when they are 5th cousins. Now I know why.
I studied out the connect between Teddy and FDR. You have to go back like 10 generations to find their common ancestor.
The family tree of Stonewall Jackson, Douglas McArthur and George Patton would be fascinating if you ever did trees of famous generals.
I was listening to a vintage recording of the great 19th century opera singer Adelina Patti made in about 1900 -then I read that Adelina had sung at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln's son (mid 19th century)I felt a kind of physical connection when I realized I was listening to the voice of a woman who had sung at an event so crucial to Lincoln's life.
I'd like to see the family tree of John Adams & John Quincy Adams, and if they have surviving descendants, especially famous ones!
Yes there are living relatives of the Adam's. In fact, their daughter name was Quincy. There was a big write in local paper when her father died telling the family history.
I'd once done research on John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams descendants till today's generation a long time ago. I remember the present generation of John Adams descendants are multimillionaires and are married to other aristocratic families of the earth. (4/2/23
I’m his 7th cousin 7x removed.
Interesting, thank you! Grant's family tree would be fascinating.
I vote for the Roosevelt family next!!
I have a (non-blood) family connection to Abraham Lincoln: he was my great-great-great-grandmother’s divorce lawyer from her 1st
husband, who deserted her, allowing her to remarry (and thus for my great-great-grandmother to be born).
Also, I used to date a man with the last name Lincoln, who bore a strong resemblance to the 16th president; he told me his family were distant relative, but not direct descendants.
I don't know why, but I find this really funny.
Well Lincoln was supposed to take after his mother in looks. He looks nothing like his father in any way. Unfortunately Nancy Hanks died before photography and there are no surviving portraits of her.
The creator of Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward, is also a distant relation to Lincoln. Which is funny as Lincoln actually appears in the show.
excellent! I want to see Dwight Eisenhower's family tree next!
I watch all of your videos, but this right here is my type of history
I would really love to see the Roosevelt family, but if you cover them, the Adams or the Bushes you can tick off 2 presidents in 1 video 😄
William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison as well.
Please do Jefferson! His relations with Hemings (his wife's cousin, or something like that) are certainly a fascinating story.
Hemings was his wife's half sister and servant.
@@starlite04 Yes. And she was a White... slave. Complicated?
Sally Hemings and Martha Wayles were half-sisters..."allegedly". 🤣👍
@@m.woodsrobinson9244 So it seems that there were both slave and free "half-siblings". That's definitely worth an episode!
He seemingly confirmed this at 12:42
Great vid! I think the pic used for Daniel Boone is actually Davy Crockett.
😅Fess Parker played both. Daniel Boone's clothes were more tailored. Davy's looked like he brain tanned the deerskin himself.
I would like to see that of John and John Quincy Adams since I'm distantly related to them. I think something like 5th cousins 8 times removed. I'm not really sure. I just know his line of the family stayed in Massachusetts, while my line moved gradually westward, and we both inherited the Adams name from the same man, Henry Adams, who came to the New World in around the 1630s.
I believe my Dad told me when I was young that my sister and I(so obviously him too) were related to the Adams'. I have no idea if there is any truth to that as I know of no basis for such a connection, but I guess it would be cool to know if one had some verifiable relationship to a president.
@@davidhunt6508 There was family history of my line of the family that was compiled and put into book form in the early 70s called Ancestors and Descendants of Jeremiah Adams. If you can find that book you might have a link to the family. I've also heard through word of mouth that the Adams presidents may be related to the legendary "Grizzly" Adams as well as the actress Raquel Welch, but I admit that last one came from a dubious source.
I'd once done research on John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams descendants till today's generation a long time ago. I remember the present generation of John Adams descendants are multimillionaires and are married to other aristocratic families of the earth. (4/2/23)
@@AntarikshRajkonwar Well my line of the family didn't get any of that wealth.
I just found out a couple of days ago that Abraham Lincoln is my sixth cousin three times removed through the Lincoln line, so finding your channel is great!
Hi there! My father is 3c2r from Lincoln's & 1c4r from Boone. Thru the Lee line
Would love to see a breakdown of the Bush family tree.
The origin of Bush's Baked Beans? 😉😁
…or Reggie Bush.
Can you please do "the Lees of ol' Virginia"? (Bonus points if you include a clip from "1776"). I'm related to that family and would say hi to all my distant cousins in your comments!
The Lee family is very interesting.
Lee's on abe's father's & mother's side. Lee wife of teddy's Roosevelt's 1st wife. Lee on jackie Kennedys mother's side.. Please once & for all clear this mess up.
I'd like to see Thomas Jeffersons family tree next, I know that he's got some connections to the Randolph and Isham families of Virginia, and the Randolph family is the royalty of Central VA. I also wonder if there might be connections to other VA aristocratic clans like the Lees (a family tree of Gen. Lee and Gen. Grant would be awesome too!)
Wow, this is so cool. Very interesting to see his family tree.
I haven't confirmed it myself, but my mom did family tree study when I was younger and claims that I am a direct descendent of a sibling of Mary Todd Lincoln's! I always found it to be a fun little bit of family history. Definitely want to do some of the family tree research myself eventually to confirm what my parents have told me about my family's past and see if I can find any interesting tidbits myself
I just found out my 3rd great grandfather was related to Abraham Lincoln in some way so I am trying to find out more..... History is so fascinating.
So I been on a family tree hunt and did a DNA test and sure enough I am related to Abraham Lincoln he is my 6th cousin 7x removed. It is through Obadiah Holmes he was my 12 great grandfather. now I have been finding more and more that family kept secret and I am trying to bring to light.
You should definitely do Florence Nightingale's tree, one of my friends is related to her (not directly obviously). It would be sick as her tree is more politicians than medicine
Why would your friend “obviously” NOT be a direct descendant of a woman? I’m a female and a direct descendant of all my primary ancestors particularly the females. Please explain. Thanks.
I think he's just referring to the fact that Florence Nightingale did not have any children.
I wouldn't mind seeing Bill Clinton considering the fact his biological father died before he was born and seeing the history of his side of the family
Always great charts! Thanks!
It would be cool a conjoined family tree of the Two Roosevelts. I also think as a curiosity that Bill Weld, republican candidate who lost the primaries to Trump in 2020 is married to a desceandant of Teddy, so there's already an important connection there.
💛 all your video's mate👍
It’s always cool to see how presidents are connected, so the Adams, Harrisons, Bushes, and Roosevelts are all warranted for sure!
Obviously the Roosevelts. They are a seriously old American family. It would be a big tree probably going back to New Amsterdam, Virginia and Plymouth
This was indeed very interesting and certainly informative. Very well done. One critisim if I may....... The popular female name, Mamie is not pronounced Mammy but "May-Me", as in Mamie Eisenhour or Mamie VanDoran.
Every time he said it wrong, it bothered me!
Every time he said it wrong, it bothered me!
Every time he said it wrong, it bothered me!
Sir good job. My mother is from the Henning TN/Dyersburg area in the northwest TN area close to KY border. When I came out that area as a kid. Residents in that area attested his great grandma was a black slave in his mother's side of his family. This is why his features look different.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I always enjoy your content.
What would have been REALLY crazy is if there was a connection between Lincoln and an actor who played him...
Thanks for a great history lesson 👍
fascinating! Love this channel
Would love you to go back further into the Hanks line. I have Hanks from Oxford UK in my tree who maybe possibly related to Nancy Hanks family. This was so interesting. Thank you. 👏
As a dutchie I wanna see president van Buren's tree. I think he was the only US president that wasnt raised with english as his first language, but Dutch.
Hi Matt! Great video! I sent you a suggestion in a comment on your Christian denominations video post on Patreon. Keep up the good work!
4:17 "being the youngest of 3 brothers", don't forget he had 2 sisters, Nancy and Mary, who is an ancestor of mine. 3rd or 4th great grandmother.
Hello. My dad's mother was a Lee. His dna test has him related to Lincoln as a 3c2r and 1c4r from Boone. They lived near each other & traveled thru the Cumberland gap together. They were all related.
Levi Lincoln Sr. was also at one point the largest landowner in Worcester, MA. His son Levi Jr. would (among the other state and federal offices he held) serve as Worcester's first mayor when it became a city in 1848. And both of their graves can be found in Worcester's Rural Cemetery (which also serves as the final resting place of several other Massachusetts governors and members of congress).
Harry Truman please! Also Zachary Taylor is interesting as his daughter was the first wife of Jefferson Davis and Taylor is Half 3rd cousin once removed to Robert E. Lee through Taylors paternal grandmother Elizabeth Lee.
Was Sarah Bush related to the presidents Bush? I know she was only Abe Lincoln's step-mother, but it would have been interesting to know.
there is another vid on how related US presidents are might have been mentioned there
That is the best Sponsor I've ever seen
Thank you for your video I am a relative of Abraham Lincoln on his mother's side. And also through her mother's side which I know the origins of her mother is a little more complicated. But also interesting because now I find out that I'm also related to George Clooney who grew up and whose father was the news anchor in the city close to where my family comes from. Thanks again
Lincoln is also 3rd cousins 5 times removed to Elvis Prelsey
I would love to know how? My father is 3c2r from Lincoln & 1c4r from Boone.
why did i think the last connection was going to lead to captain jack sparrow for a second...
Finally!
Thanks!
My 15th cousin 2 times removed. Good ol' Abe.
The Roosevelt family next please!
Old Ship Church is in Hingham Ma. I set up a tour of it in 2019 for a family history trip... if you get a chance go see it. The arrangement of the pews/ boxes have changed over the years but the timbers of the roof are original.
martin van buren was the only president not related to the others due to his dutch heritage. it may be interesting to see if his descendants went into politics; whether it be here in the us or abroad
I met an elderly man named Frank Lincoln more than 10years ago who looked (In my opinion) just like his ancestor Abe.
I Would love to see The Bush and Roosevelt family trees, they seem to be very Interesting, and maybe even discover who they're surpirsingly related to.
There are still the stories of former president George Bush Sr. wife Barbara Bush being a direct descendant of a former U.S. president before Lincoln, Franklin Pierce. Pierce was Barbara Bush's maiden name.
@@michaelverbakel7632That's very Interesting, I knew already that Pierce was her last name, but I never thought of her being a direct decendant or related to Franklin Pierce, but if that's correct, Then George W. Bush would be the only president privileged to be the decendant of 2 U.S. presidents.
1000th comment! Ive loved your channel for years it seems
Thank you.🌳💚🌳
Love your channel. Rutherford Hayes was very into genealogy himself, but I believe he didn't get very far on his own paternal line. I'd love to see if you could figure it out.
I want to see more family trees of other presidents
My best friend Elijah northcutt who died in 2020 from suicide he was 25 years old. He was actually related to President Abraham lincoln, his mom did a search of their ancestry and his mom is the niece of Mary Todd lincoln. And my best friend's mom looks exactly like her. So his mother accepted me as her second son, since I was best friends with Elijah for a long time since like 7th grade. And as we became adults and things like that, his mom said that I could call Abraham Lincoln my uncle too because she accepted me as her second son even though I have parents but she accepted me as her second son.
I’m related to Abe (2nd cousin, 6 times removed). My great great grandmother is Jean Marie Hanks. Her father is Jean Baptiste Hanks, his father his Jean Hanks, son of Lucy and Charles.
Hi Matt. There is an interesting story about Abe Lincoln possibly being the illegitimate son of Abraham Enloe of Ocuna Lufta (near Bryson City, NC) in Western NC. Lincoln's mother Sarah Hanks worked in the Enloe home and was impregnated by Enloe. Hanks was young and when the pregnancy was discovered, Enloe's wife had Nancy shipped back to her family home in Rutherford County, NC, where Abe was born. The town supposedly has a marker to this effect. Just an interesting tidbit to make your head explode. If you get a minute, google it. There are a few different sources on this. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this video.
Yes! I’m from NC and my family has lived in that area since the late 1700’s. Locals have always talked of this as if it were fact, not rumor. I’ve seen pictures of one of Abraham Enloe’s sons who had shockingly similar facial features to Abe Lincoln. I was a bit surprised that it didn’t come up in this video and also wondered if that DNA evidence mentioned had proved something either way.
next can you do either John Tylers or Thomas Jefferson’s family trees next and I am asking because I am interested in Thomas Jefferson’s family tree because one of his descendants named Thomas Garland Jefferson was one of the cadets of the Virginia military institute to be killed in the battle of new market and I am interested in John Tyler’s family tree not just because he has a grandchild living but I am interested in his family tree because when I was watching my favorite movie Gettysburg a line in the movie caught my attention and this line in the movie takes place before Pickett’s charge and in the line Brigadier General Lewis armistead is explaining to colonel Arthur Lyon Fremantle of the Coldstream guards that there is a lot of people with famous ancestors and people with famous background taking part in the charge and in the line armistead says” The boy over there with the color guard that’s Robert Tyler Jones. His grandfather was president of the United States.” And when I looked up Robert Tyler Jones I realized that he was a real person and a grandson of John Tyler because his mother is the eldest daughter of John Tyler.
Beautiful video!
I grew up with some kids in Indiana that claimed they was related to Lincoln. Their grandfather really resembled him.
Yes many around that area. Mine are from NE Ohio. 3c2r from Abe & 1c4r from Daniel Boone.
Mamie Lincoln's first name is likely pronounced "May-mee."
Agree. The way Matt pronounced it is a different word altogether, one that had its own connotation in the slave-owning South. I do not believe this was on purpose, but an honest mistake.
Finally
Wow you really skimmed over Lincolns family history. My 4x great grandmother was first cousin to Abe. Her father Josiah and Abe were very close. There are still lots of Lincoln's, maybe not Abes line but still related
A lady did an article about Josiah lincoln. Very interesting.!! "Lincoln like me". On an Indiana paper
Do Ulysses S Grant! I'm biased because we're 6th cousins 6x removed, but also he was distant cousins (5th, maybe?) with John Brown, the abolitionist (and my 5th cousin 6x removed) I doubt anyone in either family knew that, but Ulysses and Brown's fathers knew each other and worked together. They were related through the first pair of Grants of Ulysses's line in America, Mathew and Priscilla, whom Ulysses mentions in his memoirs. Ulysses descended from their son Samuel, while John Brown (and I) descend from their daughter Priscilla.
Ulysses was also related to the Roosevelts, as one of his great-grandmothers was Susannah Delano. Her 1st cousin Ephraim was an ancestor of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Do Bush Family Tree next for a double-whammy of two presidents in one.
Also do Benjamin Netanyahu's family tree. It's pretty interesting.
3 presidents actually. Barbara Pierce Bush (and therefore George W Bush) share a common ancestor with Franklin Pierce.
I want to see more of these. I love Family History and I would love to see more family trees of US Presidents.
Great presentation ❤
Woodrow Wilson would be interesting given his tenure during turn of the century. Thanks for all you hard work & clarity in explanations. Cheers from California 😎 Maggie
Can’t wait for the Thomas Jefferson tree…that’s gonna be a fascinating mess
Yay! Another president!
I found out that Mister Rogers is Tom Hanks sixth cousin. It would be neat to see that lineage on this chart.
that sponsorship and the ai lincoln is the most godlike marketing move ever
Would it be possible to do some family tress on some of the traditional rulers in African such as the Oba of Benin and King of Tooro?
Did you see this one? ruclips.net/video/HIfbTZXImGY/видео.html
@@UsefulCharts Thanks I forgot about that video, I find the concept of internal monarchies fascinating but the only ones I really know are the ones of the UAE and Malaysia
If the Lincolns were chistian, why do they all have jewish names (untill Robert)? Was that a puritan custom? To me all those names sound very unfamiliar (even for jews in some cases-I know no one named Mordecai), except for the fact that they are all in the Bible, which is why I am trying to make a link with their beliefs. In fact, I also wander what the president's religious beliefs and customs were, since he is the first to not name his children after biblical characters.
Picking interesting sounding names from the Bible was a long-standing naming tradition up to the mid-20th Century. It was also common to name children after virtues (such as Faith, Hope, and Chastity (/s)), ancient Roman leaders (Julius, Augustus, Cincinnatus, etc.), maternal family names (such as Scott), or presidents & founding fathers (Washington, Jefferson, Franklin)
@@joelhahn2501 thanks. I am not very familiar american naming customs (I live in Europe, here we usually don't do that). So you say these names are not typically puritan?
@Ruy Fernandez Not specifically Puritan, as other Christian denominations also commonly picked obscure names out of the Bible, but it is definitely one source of names that the Puritans used. (It was also part of the naming tradition in England in the 1600s, so it was not uniqely American.) It still happens, just less often. In fact, Oprah Winfrey is named for Orpah (and my wife has an ancestor named Orpha, named for the same Biblical character).
If anything, the Puritans were even more famous for giving children entire phrases as names, such as "John The-Lord-is-My-God Smith"--and that is a short one!
@@joelhahn2501 that's funny! I guess giving phrase-names must be a loan translation of jewish names. For example Michael means "Who is like God?" (yes, the question mark is included in the name). Do you know anyone named Who-is-like-God?
That's so cool thks
Very interesting and explained well.
Can you do a Martin Luther King Jr family tree please?
We've got it scheduled for next month.
