We have an old family story that my great, great grandfather was a gardener for the estate next to Oyster Bay. He was tending to shrubbery on the border of the properties when Teddy Roosevelt came riding over the hedge on horseback, knocking my ancestor down. Teddy Roosevelt helped him up and apologized. That year, my great, great grandfather received a Christmas card and a $5 bill from Teddy Roosevelt
While I don't know any ancestors who met anyone famous, I do have one with some local fame. My great-great grandfather taught a Maori tribe how to speak English, and he was given a pounamu from the chieftan. My mom's dad has it in his position, having inherited it from his dad and said ancestor I mentioned
My great Aunt Elizabeth Burns, whom I met once when I was 13 or 14, told me she was the personal secretary to the Rockefeller’s and the Roosevelt’s. My Dad inherited her stuff and gave me a thank you note from Eleanor Roosevelt. I don’t have it anymore! But Thank you for your hard work in putting these videos together for us!

Fun Fact: Eustachius De Lannoy a member of Delano family and related to FDR was a Dutch naval officer, was the captain in Battle of Colachel when the Dutch East India company invaded Kingdom of Travancore in south India. But the Dutch lost the war and he was captured alive by the Travancore king. But the King didn't execute him for his military knowledge, instead offered him to work as his own military officer. He famously converted St. Devasahayam Pillai to Catholicism ( Delanoys were Catholics first, before converting to Protestantism later) . This wasn't encouraged in Travancore kingdom, since higher caste Hindus were prohibited there to convert to Christianity. St. Devasahayam Pillai was martyred after getting tortured and he recently got the title of Saint from the Catholic Church in 2022. De Lannoy's grave is in India and he is respected among the south Indian Christians.
Keep in mind the phrase "Dutch naval officer" in this instance only means "served as an officer in the Dutch navy", as Eustachius was born in Arras, France.
Speaking of Delano/de Lannoy, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg was born Countess Stephanie de Lannoy and hails from an old Belgian noble family. A few years ago, there was documentary in French about Grand Duchess Charlotte. The documentary talked about how the grand ducal family lived in the US and met FDR during the war. The documentary interviewed HGD Stephanie, and she pointed out that FDR's middle name might have originated from "de Lannoy."
@@Jothamvw Arras was named ATRECHT [ don,t confuse it with Utrecht ] and a part of ARTESIE what was a province of the Low Countries, (De Nederlanden ] In 1659 it became a part of France ,Treaty of the Pyrenees,So there is A Dutch connexion
Moral of the story: foreign nations in history always did has a bad habit to sanctify or heroicize their rivals' local traitors and terrorists when they commited treason in their favor.
My grandma was a seamstress in NYC in the 1930s who tailored clothes for Eleanor Roosevelt. She told me years ago that when Eleanor would come in for fittings she had holes in her undergarments! Maybe this was a Great Depression thing? Anyway, my grandma helped sew one of Eleanor’s Inaugural ball gowns. We saw it on display in the Smithsonian many decades later.
Was her name Sally Milgram who with her husband Charles owned Milgram’s on 57th Street? She designed a lot of Elenor Roosevelt’s clothing. My grandfather was a furrier who owned his own business making his way by providing “piece work” to different clothing manufacturers and designers by making fur accents such as cuffs and lapels for overcoats and some were worn by Mrs Roosevelt.
Hands down, most interesting family ever. Presidents, actors, athletes, inventors, artists, writers, businessmen, politicians, statesmen, soldiers, and everything in between.
The Roosevelts (both oyster bay and hyde park branches) actually took nepotism seriously in the late 1800's. They were told that the were better than common people. They were told their wealth gave the opportunities that most didn't have, such as education and connections that nobody else could dream of. They were taught this was a responsibility and they were to better themselves so they could better all of society. Which is a breath of fresh air compared to today's aristocratic families who only seem interested in making their portfolios larger.
This is a moronic Reddit-tier take. I can assure you that today’s wealthy families are doing the same things that older genrations like the Roosevelts did to expand their power and influence. Your post does not make a coherent assertion.

12:45, the story of Teddy Jr and D-Day is pretty crazy. He had a heart issue (which will kill him later than year) but he was so eager to be part of the first wave that he basically overwhelmed his superiors with request until they gave in. He landed on Utah beach (the only father-son duo to land on D-day as his son also landed in Omaha) and there was this 56 yo man with both a heart issue and arthritis walking around with a cane on one hand and a pistol on the other. Realizing he landed off course, he personally scouted the area and proceeded to rally the troops to attack from the landing site. Omar Bradley called his actions that day as one of the heroic acts of WW2

@@DaisyMaeDoodle Hi! Our NY family heritage was something we didn’t know about until I started researching the family tree. Turns out those branches go way back-the earliest verified relative arrived in late winter 1624 on one of the first two ships of immigrants to arrive on Manhattan. We have loads of Dutch (again, something we had no idea of beforehand-we thought that side was just Canadian and British), a few French Huguenots, a Spanish Protestant, the first Muslim colonist in what became the US, and the first Italian immigrant to Manhattan.
My closest tie to the Roosevelt family is that I have a small collection of Teddy Bears and as a child I had a stuffed Panda bear that I named Theodore Panda. (I'm old but not so old that I was around when TR was alive--lol) Thanks for the very interesting and useful chart, Matt. The Roosevelts were indeed a great American dynasty and many of the commenters have ties to the family.
I love the work on this video but you missed one of my favourite (and most heartbreaking) Teddy Roosevelt facts. On the day both his first wife and his mother died (which you did mention) he wrote only this simple line in his diary: "February, Thursday 14, 1884 The light has gone out of my life"
i did a project in 8th grade on fdr, everyone in my class tried arguing w me about the amount of terms he had and after i told them to wait till the end i told them that its because of fdrs presidency they have limits, it was implimented shortly after him
I love how the creator has infused their passion and dedication into every detail. Thank you for sharing this video with us! Also, I'm excited give a try to the DNA company mentioned.
Theodore Roosevelt was also well-known by his initials, "T.R.", in his day, and was the very first American president for whom that was true. The nickname "Teddy" was given to him by the press (news media) and while he tolerated it with a smile in public (like any good politician would) he actually loathed it. Within his family his childhood nickname was "Teedie" and in adult life his favorite thing to be called was, "Colonel", after his Rough Riders experience. (Apparently, he preferred this even to "Mr. President"; if you could meet him today you could probably get on his good side fastest by addressing him as "Colonel".) FDR, on the other hand, I would not dare address as anything other than Mister President.
Elliot Roosevelt doesn’t sound like much of a “Nepo Baby”, he seemed more like a failson. The real nepobaby is the one who got to be head of the US Mint for no reason.
ein Beitrag des Montages, 26. Januar 2014 Hello from a viillage, located very north inside Germany! Leroy Otter; (born: 3rd May 1942; Republican Party); is a former gouvernour of the State of Idaho! "Butch" had 12 years in 3 terms, ... before the term limit stopped him, from holding this office furthermore! I do not know, why this 2 family name are equal! Leroy is a member of the Roman Catholic Church. I am no member of any religion! I nearly do not know, what even is written a the Bible! Idaho = "a light from the mountains" "The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl !"
Its great to see so many US Presidents are basically distant cousins of one another, also the fact that Roosevelt family produced so many successful people as somebody in the comment section said 'Presidents, actors, athletes, inventors, artists, writers, businessmen, politicians, statesmen, soldiers, and everything in between.' Also, its cool that how such a big family tree from all sides of the family is recorded of course due to being wealthy, powerful and influential since so many centuries otherwise it would not be possible. (19/03/23 8:55pm)
Great video as always Matt. May I suggest doing more Family Trees on Monarchs like Bulgaria? Since that one mostly is the only one not properly covered on your Europe East Chart. You could also probably make a series on the constituent monarchs of Malaysia, that would be great.
No Way. FDR had Guillen Barrhe Syndrome? That's crazy. My brother became very poorly around 10 years ago and ended up with GBS as a side affect to a chest infection. He is mostly recovered now but he still has some lasting side affects like aching in his leg, a slight weakness in one of his hands and he needs flu shots every year and was classed as immunocompromised during COVID so was able to get vaccinated early cus GBS affects the immune system. The condition is basically where the immune system starts attacking the nerve endings in your arms and legs and is usually a result of a milder viral infection in my brothers case a mild chest infection. I have never seen reports of a famous person or like well known historical figure with GBS and my brother has a lot of interest in like US culture and US presidents (we are British) so it is really interesting that one of the most famous and beloved presidents had the same illness he did.
While my family tree is not complete (are they ever?) I can count Teddy and Eleanor as 5th and 6th cousins, as well as Franklin. I do remember that a shared ancestor is Jan or Johannes Peek and his wife, Maria du Trieux....the tree also contains Delano/De La Noy, and other somewhat notable names from the Dutch Colonial days of New Amsterdam.
Matt - great videos. I'd love to see one on how some of the old families of antiquity are plugged into modern families, e.g., Byzantine emperors, Merovingian kings, ancient Roman families, pre-1066 Saxon families, etc. Any male-line descendants that still have those ancient names?
I actually found and verified that I, as well, am directly related to the Roosevelts, and this specific tree through Elsje Claese van Rosenvelt (the same person as Elsie Meyer in this tree).
Both Teddy and Franklin are two of my favorite presidents. Both pushed for progressive policies. Teddy spoke softly and carried a big stick. FDR defeated Nazis in a wheelchair. Oh boy!
FDR was a descendant of Mayflower passengers John Howland and his wife Elizabeth Tilley. I descend from John's brothers Henry and Arthur, who were not on the Mayflower.
I am related to the Roosevelt's through the Dutch side of the Family, my Paternal ancestors hail from Ood Vossemeer in the Netherlands. Eleanor Roosevelt went to Ood Vossemeer to visit the ancestral home after WWII.
My first cousin 5x removed, Hiram Price Collier, married the Katherine Delano/Collier you can see on the chart. I'm not related to FDR by blood, but I have a close connection.
I think it's worth saying that Teddy Roosevelt arguably started the partisan shift that FDR presided over. Prior to 1912, both parties had left and right wings of about equal strength- the main division between the parties was over whether US dollars should be backed by gold or silver. But after the 1912 election, most members of the Progressive Party were gradually absorbed into the Democrats. Other progressive Republicans soon followed, and this was the root of Democrats' dominance from the 1930s to the 1990s. In the 1960s, Southern Democrats began defecting to the Republicans, so by the 1990s the party switch was complete.
Southern Democrats didn't defect & there was no party switch. This is a myth Democrats use to cope with the fact that they were the party of slavery & segregation & the GOP was the abolitionist party
The civil war also had a hand in the switch, in that because Lincoln was a Republican white southerners gravitated to the Democrats after the war while the newly freed African Americans gravitated to Lincoln's party which championed their freedom as the progressive party. However, after the war business people also wanted to be on the winning side so successful businessmen joined the Republican party, eventually gaining controlling power. It was this split between the businessmen and the progressives that led to the split between Teddy and Taft. Finally, the civil rights movement led to the southern switch where progressive Democrats supported the civil rights movement gaining the loyalty of African Americans, and the enmity of the conservative (racist) southerners who switched to the Republican party.
I love your videos. Genealogy is a 'hobby' of mine. On a related note to this video: During Gov. Bill Weld's re-election campaign, he was running against Mark Roosevelt. In a debate (?) Mark mentioned he was a Roosevelt. Bill then stated I married a Roosevelt. Too funny at the time, but I was happy to see their names in the chart. Thank you.
""Claes Maartenzoon van Rosenvelt was born in HOLLAND""....Noop , he was born in ZEELAND on the Island of THOLEN in 1623.I understand the confusion Holland is a part of the Netherlands, at that time the Dutch republic ,like Zeeland But Holland was the most rich and import part of the Dutch Republic so Holland stands as name for the whole country ...and still
So we got other us presidents, the goodyear tire family, white Indonesian royalty, a famous actress, several professional athletes, first ladies, congressmen, rich early us settlers, and Theodore and FDR themselves
Theodore Roosevelt and I share a direct bloodline ancestor. His name was Johannes Mousnier de la Montagne Sr. and his wife's name was Rachel de Forest. They are my 10th great grandparents. That makes Theodore Roosevelt my sixth cousin five times removed.
My first cousin 5x removed, Hiram Price Collier, married the Katherine Delano/Collier you can see on the chart. I'm not related to FDR by blood, but I have a close connection.
Fun fact: Laura Ingalls Wilder hated FDR'S views and for the rest of her life voted against the Democrats, though he had one previously. She is often mentioned as a founder of Libertarian views and her daughter Rose Wilder Lane is credited with helping found the Libertarian Party.
Nice informative clip (as always)! It is interesing to see how some of those older immigrant families are interconnected. I don't want to brag but I will do so anyhow, slightly though: I also have a Delano branch in my ancestry but this branch remained in Europe. A small group of nineteenth century Delano's compiled a book about their ancestry in Europe. The nice thing is that it is plausible that the Delano's are descendants of a fairly large group of European nobles (although some consider this to be not fully proven), mainly from northern France.
everyone seems descended from Frence Counts, and there is a distinct lack of proof on that descent. does the Delano come from De Lano (is there a place or person Lano back in the past ?)
@@highpath4776 Those ancestors in the Netherlands are explicitly named "De Lannoy" in ecclesiastical archive material as well, which was already an extant family name in the sixteenth century. Lannoy or Lanno is indeed a place in Northern France but this family-branch is from Tourcoing (so the name doesn't literally mean that the people where directly from Lannoy, it is a family name). There is an extensive doctoral thesis by Alain Desrousseaux from the Université d'Artois that deals with this descent, the connection to the Lannoy-family seems fairly certain but it isn't clear from which branch exactly. Besides archive material other factors as social-economic context, religious development and onomastics also support the claim. The lack of proof isn't that distinct at all, especially compared to other similar claims that are apparently fully accepted, yet based on less material or context!
I have a interesting connection to the Roosevelts. My 2nd great-grandfather (the way I descend from him is from a adopted ancestor” had a paper signed by Teddy Roosevelt, when he was governor he fought as a colonel in some sort of militia I think it said “25 Battalion of New York” or something similar

I live in the northwest of the brazilian state of Mato Grosso, "near" the Roosevelt River, named after Teddy. In the 1910s, he explored Amazon with the famous brazilian Marechal Rondon, an important man who protected indigenous people and built several telegraphic lines.
I did mine thru family search and just found out I'm related to the Roosevelt's, just Abt every president, there was. And princess Di, William Tell on my Dad's side and Florence Nightingale. Im gonna be goin to NY to find out all my dad side, I can't wait
In any future updates of this tree, you may want to also label Robert R. Livingston as "the Chancellor", one of his well known knicknames for those with political and historical interests.
Am I the first to mention that Claas wasn’t from Holland. Am I? Oh goodie! Claas was from oud-vossemeer in Zeeland (Old Zealand), a province in the Netherlands.
It might be interesting to see an Einsenhower-Nixon family tree. Though not biologically related they are connected through a marriage; Einsenhower's grandson David (also the namesake of Camp David) and Nixon's daughter Julie are married. Their three kids have Eisenhower as a great-grandfather and Eisenhower's VP/eventual president as a grandfather
Recently found out that President James Madison is my 5th great grandfather and that Zachary Taylor's a 2nd cousin 7 times removed. I saw in this video that James K Polk is a great grandson of Margaret Taylor. Margaret Taylor is in my family tree but I'm having trouble connecting her with Polk. Ezekiel is popping up anywhere in my hints.
I've heard the name Bamie before. I think we had one in our family. I want to say it was my great grandmother's family... I think Bamie is the one who came walking over the fields to the house and cared for the children (great grandmother and siblings) after their mother died. She was an aunt of some sort, I believe. She chewed tobacco and whistled some particular tune on her walk from what I presume was her house. I don't know how far she walked to get there. This was NC... would have been late 1800's. I may have to research the name Bamie. Seems to have been a (semi? somewhat?) common random nickname of the time.

👩🏻💻Eleanor also became FDR's legs and visited areas and reported back to her husband/president. FDR's campaign manager, advisor, and friend taught Eleanor elocution and gave her feed back on her speeches.

Pronunciation note: I’ve always heard FDR’s middle name and his mothers name pronounced Del-a-no.
I wondered this myself. Del-a-NO not Del- AH-no.
My parents pronounced it “Del-uh-know” and they were alive during his presidency
Yep it’s definitely pronounced “DEL-uh-no”
Heck if I know
The family trees we wished we had! Holy crap so many connections!
"Sort of a war hero?" Theodore Roosevelt Jr. earned the Medal of Honor.
your voice gets ok as we get into these videos, but every time you say "hi, this is matt bakerrrrr" it hits me like a hammer in the ears
No matter what topic, these are always very interesting videos. Thank you for all your hard work.
Theodore Roosevelt was also well-known by his initials, "T.R.", in his day, and was the very first American president for whom that was true. The nickname "Teddy" was given to him by the press (news media) and while he tolerated it with a smile in public (like any good politician would) he actually loathed it. Within his family his childhood nickname was "Teedie" and in adult life his favorite thing to be called was, "Colonel", after his Rough Riders experience. (Apparently, he preferred this even to "Mr. President"; if you could meet him today you could probably get on his good side fastest by addressing him as "Colonel".) FDR, on the other hand, I would not dare address as anything other than Mister President.
I believe I read somewhere that he was addressed as "Uncle Ted" by Eleanor, and so he insisted FDR call him "Ted," not "Mr. President."
Elliot Roosevelt doesn’t sound like much of a “Nepo Baby”, he seemed more like a failson. The real nepobaby is the one who got to be head of the US Mint for no reason.
Not only is Teddy IV a banker but he was also a Navy SEAL, the badassery in that line is not in question.

Hello from a viillage, located very north inside Germany!
Leroy Otter; (born: 3rd May 1942; Republican Party); is a former gouvernour of the State of Idaho!
"Butch" had 12 years in 3 terms, ... before the term limit stopped him, from holding this office furthermore!
I do not know, why this 2 family name are equal!
Leroy is a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
I am no member of any religion!
I nearly do not know, what even is written a the Bible!
Idaho = "a light from the mountains"
"The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl !"
Its great to see so many US Presidents are basically distant cousins of one another, also the fact that Roosevelt family produced so many successful people as somebody in the comment section said 'Presidents, actors, athletes, inventors, artists, writers, businessmen, politicians, statesmen, soldiers, and everything in between.' Also, its cool that how such a big family tree from all sides of the family is recorded of course due to being wealthy, powerful and influential since so many centuries otherwise it would not be possible.

Great video as always Matt. May I suggest doing more Family Trees on Monarchs like Bulgaria? Since that one mostly is the only one not properly covered on your Europe East Chart. You could also probably make a series on the constituent monarchs of Malaysia, that would be great.
No Way. FDR had Guillen Barrhe Syndrome? That's crazy. My brother became very poorly around 10 years ago and ended up with GBS as a side affect to a chest infection. He is mostly recovered now but he still has some lasting side affects like aching in his leg, a slight weakness in one of his hands and he needs flu shots every year and was classed as immunocompromised during COVID so was able to get vaccinated early cus GBS affects the immune system. The condition is basically where the immune system starts attacking the nerve endings in your arms and legs and is usually a result of a milder viral infection in my brothers case a mild chest infection. I have never seen reports of a famous person or like well known historical figure with GBS and my brother has a lot of interest in like US culture and US presidents (we are British) so it is really interesting that one of the most famous and beloved presidents had the same illness he did.
While my family tree is not complete (are they ever?) I can count Teddy and Eleanor as 5th and 6th cousins, as well as Franklin. I do remember that a shared ancestor is Jan or Johannes Peek and his wife, Maria du Trieux....the tree also contains Delano/De La Noy, and other somewhat notable names from the Dutch Colonial days of New Amsterdam.
Thank you Matt! Just in time for me to watch at full interest here in Latvia :)

ISTANBUL
Was not expecting a (vague) connection between FDR and Britney Spears 😂
Matt - great videos. I'd love to see one on how some of the old families of antiquity are plugged into modern families, e.g., Byzantine emperors, Merovingian kings, ancient Roman families, pre-1066 Saxon families, etc. Any male-line descendants that still have those ancient names?
Great question!
I actually found and verified that I, as well, am directly related to the Roosevelts, and this specific tree through Elsje Claese van Rosenvelt (the same person as Elsie Meyer in this tree).
Theodore Roosevelt is my 9th cousin 4x removed 🤯 and is on both my Moms Dutch side and my Dads Dutch side. Just insane.
Both Teddy and Franklin are two of my favorite presidents. Both pushed for progressive policies. Teddy spoke softly and carried a big stick. FDR defeated Nazis in a wheelchair. Oh boy!
FDR was a descendant of Mayflower passengers John Howland and his wife Elizabeth Tilley. I descend from John's brothers Henry and Arthur, who were not on the Mayflower.
FDR's family prove that "in America first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women"
I am related to the Roosevelt's through the Dutch side of the Family, my Paternal ancestors hail from Ood Vossemeer in the Netherlands. Eleanor Roosevelt went to Ood Vossemeer to visit the ancestral home after WWII.
My first cousin 5x removed, Hiram Price Collier, married the Katherine Delano/Collier you can see on the chart. I'm not related to FDR by blood, but I have a close connection.
My late Great Grandmother was a seamstress and dress maker who made some of Eleanor Roosevelt's clothes.
What a research work, as always - congrats on the video. PS: Proud of seeing a Spanish company sponsoring the video 🇪🇸
I think it's worth saying that Teddy Roosevelt arguably started the partisan shift that FDR presided over. Prior to 1912, both parties had left and right wings of about equal strength- the main division between the parties was over whether US dollars should be backed by gold or silver. But after the 1912 election, most members of the Progressive Party were gradually absorbed into the Democrats. Other progressive Republicans soon followed, and this was the root of Democrats' dominance from the 1930s to the 1990s. In the 1960s, Southern Democrats began defecting to the Republicans, so by the 1990s the party switch was complete.
Southern Democrats didn't defect & there was no party switch. This is a myth Democrats use to cope with the fact that they were the party of slavery & segregation & the GOP was the abolitionist party
The civil war also had a hand in the switch, in that because Lincoln was a Republican white southerners gravitated to the Democrats after the war while the newly freed African Americans gravitated to Lincoln's party which championed their freedom as the progressive party. However, after the war business people also wanted to be on the winning side so successful businessmen joined the Republican party, eventually gaining controlling power. It was this split between the businessmen and the progressives that led to the split between Teddy and Taft. Finally, the civil rights movement led to the southern switch where progressive Democrats supported the civil rights movement gaining the loyalty of African Americans, and the enmity of the conservative (racist) southerners who switched to the Republican party.
I love your videos. Genealogy is a 'hobby' of mine. On a related note to this video: During Gov. Bill Weld's re-election campaign, he was running against Mark Roosevelt. In a debate (?) Mark mentioned he was a Roosevelt. Bill then stated I married a Roosevelt. Too funny at the time, but I was happy to see their names in the chart. Thank you.
""Claes Maartenzoon van Rosenvelt was born in HOLLAND""....Noop , he was born in ZEELAND on the Island of THOLEN in 1623.I understand the confusion Holland is a part of the Netherlands, at that time the Dutch republic ,like Zeeland But Holland was the most rich and import part of the Dutch Republic so Holland stands as name for the whole country ...and still
Oh, bummer. You beat me.
Yes, thanks for mentioning. I have Dutch ancestors from Zeeland, so I learned a little about the Dutch Republic. Very interesting history.
Yup. It's an outdated term. Hopefully Matt will make the needed change to his vocabulary.
One of Teddy Roosevelt’s sisters was the grandmother of newspaper columnist Joseph Alsop
OMG, this video is awesome! The content is straight fire and the way it's presented is so cool. Also the sponsor ADNTRO it's worth a try!
I love the fact that Teddy and FDR are cousins and Teddy is grand uncle to FDRs kids
So we got other us presidents, the goodyear tire family, white Indonesian royalty, a famous actress, several professional athletes, first ladies, congressmen, rich early us settlers, and Theodore and FDR themselves
Wow! Didnt know the white rajah of sarawak is featured here too.
On behalf of malaysian, thank you for highlighting it!!
Theodore Roosevelt and I share a direct bloodline ancestor. His name was Johannes Mousnier de la Montagne Sr. and his wife's name was Rachel de Forest. They are my 10th great grandparents. That makes Theodore Roosevelt my sixth cousin five times removed.
My first cousin 5x removed, Hiram Price Collier, married the Katherine Delano/Collier you can see on the chart. I'm not related to FDR by blood, but I have a close connection.
11:28 and Alice Roosevelt and Elizabeth II died at the same age (both were 96 years old)
Amazing that FDR lost his first bid to a cousin and he likely didn't even know
In 8:17 i would like to point out his brother philip was a signer of the declaration of idependence
Fun fact: Laura Ingalls Wilder hated FDR'S views and for the rest of her life voted against the Democrats, though he had one previously. She is often mentioned as a founder of Libertarian views and her daughter Rose Wilder Lane is credited with helping found the Libertarian Party.
I read that in Prairie Fires.
Nice informative clip (as always)! It is interesing to see how some of those older immigrant families are interconnected.
I don't want to brag but I will do so anyhow, slightly though: I also have a Delano branch in my ancestry but this branch remained in Europe. A small group of nineteenth century Delano's compiled a book about their ancestry in Europe. The nice thing is that it is plausible that the Delano's are descendants of a fairly large group of European nobles (although some consider this to be not fully proven), mainly from northern France.
everyone seems descended from Frence Counts, and there is a distinct lack of proof on that descent. does the Delano come from De Lano (is there a place or person Lano back in the past ?)
@@highpath4776 Those ancestors in the Netherlands are explicitly named "De Lannoy" in ecclesiastical archive material as well, which was already an extant family name in the sixteenth century. Lannoy or Lanno is indeed a place in Northern France but this family-branch is from Tourcoing (so the name doesn't literally mean that the people where directly from Lannoy, it is a family name). There is an extensive doctoral thesis by Alain Desrousseaux from the Université d'Artois that deals with this descent, the connection to the Lannoy-family seems fairly certain but it isn't clear from which branch exactly. Besides archive material other factors as social-economic context, religious development and onomastics also support the claim. The lack of proof isn't that distinct at all, especially compared to other similar claims that are apparently fully accepted, yet based on less material or context!
@@markmetalen37 Wonder if there are connections to Irish Delaneys ?
I have a interesting connection to the Roosevelts. My 2nd great-grandfather (the way I descend from him is from a adopted ancestor” had a paper signed by Teddy Roosevelt, when he was governor he fought as a colonel in some sort of militia I think it said “25 Battalion of New York” or something similar
They both also share a common ancestor of Issac Allerton a Mayflower "pilgrim"
Wow, this video is amazing! The content is so informative and well-presented. I really appreciate the effort and dedication that went into making this. It's clear that the creator is passionate about this topic and has done their research. Thank you for sharing this with us! Also looking forward trying this DNA company!
This is a well researched and presented project! Great job 👌🏿. Can you please do Herbert Hoover's family tree in the same depth and detail?!
Who is your favorite Roosevelt?
Teddy 🐻
Nicholas Roosevelt's younger sister Anna is my 8th great-grandmother. She married Jan van Dalsen de Vries.
If Eleanor had been President, she’d have been the best of all of them
Teddy Roosevelt was the best Roosevelt
I live in the northwest of the brazilian state of Mato Grosso, "near" the Roosevelt River, named after Teddy. In the 1910s, he explored Amazon with the famous brazilian Marechal Rondon, an important man who protected indigenous people and built several telegraphic lines.
Funny how Teddy is my favorite President and FDR is in the bottom 10 of my list
I don't know - if Teddy hadn't run against Taft he wouldn't have split the vote & left us with Woodrow Wilson
I did mine thru family search and just found out I'm related to the Roosevelt's, just Abt every president, there was. And princess Di, William Tell on my Dad's side and Florence Nightingale. Im gonna be goin to NY to find out all my dad side, I can't wait
Very interesting. However, Delano is normally pronounced emphasizing the first syllable.
As someone from Sarawak, long live the Rajah, Happy Independence days
It’s ironic how you post this on Franklin and Eleanor’s 118th anniversary
In any future updates of this tree, you may want to also label Robert R. Livingston as "the Chancellor", one of his well known knicknames for those with political and historical interests.
makes you wonder if the 2 families still fight today. lol
Imaging having John Jacob Astor in your family tree and not even mentioning him!
Am I the first to mention that Claas wasn’t from Holland. Am I? Oh goodie!
Claas was from oud-vossemeer in Zeeland (Old Zealand), a province in the Netherlands.
Matt is using the outdated term for the Netherlands. For as exact as he is in his videos I think this is a change he needs to make to his vocabulary.
In the US - people often interchange Holland for the Netherlands just like they would England for Britain
It might be interesting to see an Einsenhower-Nixon family tree. Though not biologically related they are connected through a marriage; Einsenhower's grandson David (also the namesake of Camp David) and Nixon's daughter Julie are married. Their three kids have Eisenhower as a great-grandfather and Eisenhower's VP/eventual president as a grandfather
Found your pronunciation of DELANO to be different from what I’ve heard
Me too. Normally It's DEL-uh-noh, not del-AH-no. Not sure what's more correct as I've only ever heard the former until now.
Recently found out that President James Madison is my 5th great grandfather and that Zachary Taylor's a 2nd cousin 7 times removed. I saw in this video that James K Polk is a great grandson of Margaret Taylor. Margaret Taylor is in my family tree but I'm having trouble connecting her with Polk. Ezekiel is popping up anywhere in my hints.
Today I learned that Philip Delano came to America on the same ship as my ancestor, The Fortune.
21:14 blew my mind! Had no idea she was so closely related to them!
I've heard the name Bamie before. I think we had one in our family. I want to say it was my great grandmother's family... I think Bamie is the one who came walking over the fields to the house and cared for the children (great grandmother and siblings) after their mother died. She was an aunt of some sort, I believe. She chewed tobacco and whistled some particular tune on her walk from what I presume was her house. I don't know how far she walked to get there. This was NC... would have been late 1800's.
I may have to research the name Bamie. Seems to have been a (semi? somewhat?) common random nickname of the time.
from the Netherlands: very informative ! thank you.
There is a food store chain in the American Midwest named Meijer - maybe the founder is a long lost cousin of yours

Moin aus Breitenfelde (Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg)!
Vielleicht könnte der Videoersteller, eines über Ursula Freifrau von Leyen; geb. Albrecht (CDU; bzw. EVP) machen!
Ihre Eltern haben 6 Kinder.
Ursula hat 7 Kinder ihrerseits.
Da gucken selbst die Einwohner der Republik Niger neidisch!
Ernst Albrecht (CDU; bzw. EVP), der Vater Ursulas; war der Ministerpräsident des Landes Niedersachsen.
Der Name "von der Leyen" ist aus dem Saarland.
Politisch kann ich, aber weder Ernst, noch Ursula unterstützen!
Ernst bestimmte, dass Atommüllzwischenlanger in Gorleben (Wendland), in die Nähe der Elbe/Werra Grenze anzulegen!
Ursula ist als "Drohnen-Uschi", wegen ihres Militarimus bekannt!
Sie will ihre 2. Amtszeit als die Präsidentin der EU Kommssion bekommen.
Manfred Weber (CSU; bzw. EVP) wurde durch Angela Merkel (CDU) im Jahr 2019 ausgebremst, "EU Chef" zu werden!
Wird Fred Rutte (VVD; bzw. ALDE) oder Klaus Johannis (Deutscher in Rumänien) der Generalsekretär der NATO?
Geert Wilders (PVV; bzw. EKR) wird wohl nicht der Ministerpräsident der Niederlande werden!
Franz Timmermanns (PvdA; bzw. SPE) wohl ebenfalls nicht!
Aber wer dann?
War die Republik der Niederlande eine Demokratie?
Love this channel! Thank you!
👩🏻💻Eleanor also became FDR's legs and visited areas and reported back to her husband/president. FDR's campaign manager, advisor, and friend taught Eleanor elocution and gave her feed back on her speeches.
Very interesting and illuminating video. Thanks for posting it.
I just may follow up on the ADNTRO ad, too.
If you haven’t done jfk yet could you do him? I’m learning about him in history!
I think there's the video
He’s got one already.
Thanks guys!!
I'm also related to Teddy as well as Martin Van Buren, through the Van Hoesen family, early settlers in New Netherlands. I however am not related to FDR.
Benjamin Harrison’s family should be discussed about like Benjamin Harrison, V signed the Declaration Of Independence, Benjamin Harrison, VIII was a doctor and that’s all the info that I have but I’ll find more later !
Been waiting for this.
Also, since you brought up Teddy replacing Adlai Stevenson I as VP, a look at the Stevensons would be cool.
Laurence Clarke's sister Theo Clarke is the current MP for Stafford and has Roosevelt as her middle name
Can you update the chart to show the alleged relation between FDR and Winston Churchill?
8:30 I see Phillip Phillip? is that a typo or a real name? Also no comment on the Schuyler connection? Hamilton fans would like that
Also the Livingstons and Van Rensselaers have a Hamilton connection! Very interested to see that chart!
I recently discovered that FDR is my 6th cousin four times removed!
this gotta be the wildest family tree
Thank you, Matt!
This was a great episode
Seems to me that Eleanor was more likely bi. She really did seem deeply in love with Franklin in those early years.
That was really cool! I enjoyed this lineage
Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 and wrongfully imprisoned my ancestors.
