1860 is not even a long time ago in the grand scheme of things, but Liv Tyler having some type of African heritage is interesting and a pleasant surprising at the same time.
She is beautiful for sure. I think she was cast perfectly in lord of the rings as elrons daughter arwen. She did great interviews for that movie and said that learning the elvish language and wearing arwen's clothing was really fun for her and made her feel super feminine.
What is cool about this is that when we ran our DNA, we found a distant relative at or near the time of the American Revolution that was from West Africa. It was fun and exciting. Our family moved to Kentucky and Tennessee and settled in an area where many mixed race settled. There was a mini-migtaion of mixed race families at that time. It was fun to know.
Trust if Europeans had left Africans alone then this whole mixing thing would've never happened. The Most High God hasn't forgotten about the evil things Europeans did to blacks during slavery

Guys, guys, take it easy. According wikipedia : : Tyler attended the Congressional School of Virginia ('in Falls Church, Va'), the Breakwater School (Portland) , and Waynflete School in Portland, Maine,[16][17][18] before returning to New York City with her mother at age 12 " So aparently she grew up in Virginia, Maine ánd NYC ..

Liv Tyler is so open about the possibility of her ancestors being enslaved. Usually the other way around as descendants of slavers! Also, Liv believed Todd Rundgren was her father until her mother fessed up about being a groupie (and getting pregnant by Steven Tyler!). Liv is mellow. 💚

I agree. Also look at the person above Robert. They're recorded as 'm' for mulato as well without it being written heavily. I think they made a mistake and wrote 'w' first then wrote the 'm' over it.
@@hdskl2150 It's just the US census. This is a document that you could go to your own computer at home and find online right now. You'd see it's the same as what was shown on tv. They didn't create that document for the show. The census is public record, once released to the public.
Indentured servitude is such an interesting concept. I learned that my German ancestor who first came to America in the early 1700s was brought over by a wealthy Dutch man. He spent a decade essentially serving the man in various capacities, and upon earning his release headed out west and became a cowboy for some years to make his money before returning and settling in West Virginia where the family remained for several generations. The family went on to be split during the Civil War, some fighting for the Union, others for the South. Gotta love history!
Please don't insert yourself into the African slavery discussion. Your ancestors were not subjected to Jim Crow segregation because of their skin color or country/continent of Origin
An Armstrong historian researching for an Elliott descendant. In 16th century Scotland your families likely travelled the same Border March grounds of the Western and Central Scottish Border. These two Clans have been close allies for centuries. I love this show.
I am reading a book entitled the Boy Soldiers of the Revolution, and if Robert was a drummer, he could've been younger when the war started and therefore not big enough to handle a weapon. Robert also could've been volunteered by his "guardian." Liv should inquire to see if Robert filed for a military pension in the 1830's.
The guardian was Captain Wright. In those days it was statistically unlikely that he was in the Regular Army. So probably a militia officer who would have served at the mentioned Battle of Plattsburgh with his regiment alongside Robert.

Ms. Liv Tyler. Your ancestors lived a good grounded life under conditions of a particular lineage of a choice not of their own. To be able to survive through those years without much lost of life is of good fortune and talent today. The uncovering of Mulatto and Caucasian indentured servants is significant and leading to many Caucasian and Multiracial persons going further into genealogy research from the Atlantic coast north and south to tell and write the stories of hardship and triumphs years later but also a historical context that connect families to whom they are. Blessings on your continued search and new findings of many cultures and ethnicities.
His paternal grandfather, Giovanni Tallarico, was from Cotronei, Calabria, Italy.[19] Tyler learned on the genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? that his maternal great-great-great-grandfather Robert Elliot was part African-American and part European-American.[20] oh my goodness... I'm sure if we go back 3-400 years there's someone in the family that had relations with another of a different skin color.
You have the privilege to not consider why a lot of non European people are mixed, as there was very little consent involved. Add that it was acceptable by most standards and justice was never pursued, let alone served, and you would have a completely different perspective.
So I am an Elliott in England. I traced fam back to northumberland in uk - it was recorded as Elliot. I believe it goes back into Scotland but I couldn’t trace it on the Elliot line. I did trace my female line back to a marriage in Edinburgh in seventeenth century. But yes, you probably;y have Scottish roots
I disagree with the comment by the historian about the "m" for mulato being emphasised. If you look avoe Robert's name there is another person noted as 'm' for mulato. Perhaps the recorded originally wrote 'w' as a mistake and wrote the 'm' over the top and therefore emphasised it. There definitely looks like a smudge or something underneath the 'm'.
My oldest ancestor was 100% English and upon arrival here in the 1640's was an indentured servant to his guardian from age 11 until 21 in order to pay for passage here. Way different times.
I've been to Ausable Chasm and got to see Elephant Rock. I've been to Plattsburgh many times because Plattsburgh is only 24 miles from the campground we went to for about 15 years named Blue Haven Campground in Ellenburg, NY. What Steven and Liv may not know is that Orville Gibson was born in Chateaugay, New York which is roughly 40 miles from Plattsburgh, NY.
@@sistahb5159 Actually Who Do You Think You are? debuted in Britain in 2004 and in the U.S. on March 5, 2010. Finding Your Roots made it's debut March 25, 2012.
Hmmmmm… I don’t believe Robert Elliott was an “indentured servant” to Capt Elliott as a child. Makes no sense. Especially during that time. What makes more sense is that Capt Elliott fathered Robert with a slave and kept him with him as a servant during the war.
Yep. Besides that, it's quite a stretch to make "guardianship" of a boy first mean that the boy must have been an indentured servant of Captain Wright and then turn that into another form of slavery. Indentured servitude meant that someone paid off a loan by working for someone until that debt was paid off. That's not the case here, since we're talking about a boy.
Pretty cool that she went through all the time and energy to find out about relatives. I've never found that much information on my family. I don't think there is really a whole lot of glory back in those days.
FIX THIS TITLE! Liv Tyler found an African American ANCESTOR! NOT a DESCENDANT. "Descendant" and "ancestor" mean DIFFERENT THINGS.
Seriously. How embarrassing that a show about genealogy doesn’t know the difference between an ancestor and a descendant.

The uncovering of Mulatto and Caucasian indentured servants is significant and leading to many Caucasian and Multiracial persons going further into genealogy research from the Atlantic coast north and south to tell and write the stories of hardship and triumphs years later but also a historical context that connect families to whom they are. Blessings on your continued search and new findings of many cultures and ethnicities.
One would assume she has an African-American ancestor, since I assume she already knows all her descendants.
A lot of assuming there.
Descendants? They would be her children, grandchildren, etc.
I think you mean her ancestors.
@@stephanieyee9784 That was the point being made. She would already know her descendants, i.e. her children.
Yup, definitely ancestor(s) meant.
I can’t really understand why people constantly get this wrong - especially a channel dedicated to ancestry🤣🤣
His paternal grandfather, Giovanni Tallarico, was from Cotronei, Calabria, Italy.[19] Tyler learned on the genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? that his maternal great-great-great-grandfather Robert Elliot was part African-American and part European-American.[20] oh my goodness... I'm sure if we go back 3-400 years there's someone in the family that had relations with another of a different skin color.
Everyone is mixed with just about everything!! It’s beautiful!!
You have the privilege to not consider why a lot of non European people are mixed, as there was very little consent involved.
Add that it was acceptable by most standards and justice was never pursued, let alone served, and you would have a completely different perspective.
Liv is beautiful and she has a very pleasant voice.
Her voice reminds me of LOTR.
Also she’s already related to the coolest dude on earth. What else is there to know 😂
She played the Elf maiden Arwen Undómiel in LOTR.
Ive always thought she was one of the most gorgeous women alive. SOOO beautiful. Inside and out.
Peace and love to you always ❤❤
"uncover African American descendant" - really? I thought it was an ancestor, not a descendant.
So I am an Elliott in England. I traced fam back to northumberland in uk - it was recorded as Elliot. I believe it goes back into Scotland but I couldn’t trace it on the Elliot line. I did trace my female line back to a marriage in Edinburgh in seventeenth century. But yes, you probably;y have Scottish roots
Peace and love to you always ❤❤❤
He probably hadn’t started showing his mixed fully at a younger age and they became more pronounced during the next census
Is Solange knowles mixed?
@@maryjs4878 she is not
@@PHlophe You said that Solange isn't a mixed Woman?
Is Beyonce a mixed Woman?
@@maryjs4878 neither are mixed race. dis her sister same fadda same modda
I’m Italian but with mixed European and a small South Indian percentage, which is so cool!
Everyone already knew her dad had some brotha in him 😂I could’ve told her that in 5 seconds
You knew that he had some brother in him? Who?
@@maryjs4878 Steven Tyler
@@kelsilulu lol, Steven Tyler doesn't have some brother in him.
@@maryjs4878 did you watch the video?
@@maryjs4878 That's why he screams so loud I guess :p
This is so interesting!!!
I disagree with the comment by the historian about the "m" for mulato being emphasised. If you look avoe Robert's name there is another person noted as 'm' for mulato. Perhaps the recorded originally wrote 'w' as a mistake and wrote the 'm' over the top and therefore emphasised it. There definitely looks like a smudge or something underneath the 'm'.
Absolutely
He was adding some drAAAHma to the video.
I always adore liv and her voice is so beautiful and sultry. God bless you beautiful ❤️ Tyler 🙏
The title of this video tells me the American education system leaves a lot to be desired. 😆
My oldest ancestor was 100% English and upon arrival here in the 1640's was an indentured servant to his guardian from age 11 until 21 in order to pay for passage here. Way different times.
We all have African ancestry to some extend as the human race evolved from there..
I've been to Ausable Chasm and got to see Elephant Rock. I've been to Plattsburgh many times because Plattsburgh is only 24 miles from the campground we went to for about 15 years named Blue Haven Campground in Ellenburg, NY. What Steven and Liv may not know is that Orville Gibson was born in Chateaugay, New York which is roughly 40 miles from Plattsburgh, NY.
Where’s Henry Louis Gates?
I know right, his story telling make these so much fuller. Finding your roots is so much better at this. Be Well. 💜💜💜
Different show 😂
They copied Henry Louis Gates show. The usual.
Steve tyler needs to go on Louis Gates show.
@@sistahb5159 Actually Who Do You Think You are? debuted in Britain in 2004 and in the U.S. on March 5, 2010. Finding Your Roots made it's debut March 25, 2012.
Her energy is so pure and feminine. Absolutely beautiful.
Hmmmmm… I don’t believe Robert Elliott was an “indentured servant” to Capt Elliott as a child. Makes no sense. Especially during that time. What makes more sense is that Capt Elliott fathered Robert with a slave and kept him with him as a servant during the war.
Yep. Besides that, it's quite a stretch to make "guardianship" of a boy first mean that the boy must have been an indentured servant of Captain Wright and then turn that into another form of slavery.
Indentured servitude meant that someone paid off a loan by working for someone until that debt was paid off. That's not the case here, since we're talking about a boy.
My thoughts exactly!
Not as a servant during the war but during his childhood in general, probably wanted to keep a watchful eye on him.
We knew you needed to go back to the drum kit Steven🙌
I mean…her and Pops got lips like us❤
Pretty cool that she went through all the time and energy to find out about relatives. I've never found that much information on my family. I don't think there is really a whole lot of glory back in those days.
They don't do the research themselves. It's done by the programme makers paying professionals to do it.
It explains Steven Tyler's features...thick lips. There are no accidents
I don't think that "thick lips" are a uniquely African feature.
@@susannahfox7188exactly. He assumes that those of African descent have that particular feature, which of course isn’t true.
@@housepianisterm it’s VEEY TRUE? Stop being wilfully obtuse.
Etienne Sedar Senghor , no thick lips are shared globally . it means nada
We can see from this a lot about her ancestory at any given moment
Sounds like the ancestor came back as her dad
Well theres reason to do the census, it helps your descendants find you.
There were people that had to pass.
Wow Liv Tyler is so stunning the more mature she is.
