    So interesting to learn he has German Lutheran roots with deep musical inclinations.

    His ancestor studied a Great Comet and he was in the Broadway musical Natasha Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812.

    His German ancestor was an astronomer! I knew that's why he's got a Heavenly voice.

    Even greater than his unparalleled voice is his personality and humanity!

    the family history with haley’s comet really ties together his role in the great comet of 1812!

    This was so interesting to see. I am primarily Irish but I am also about 12% German. My German ancestors came from Bavaria and the Rhineland Palatinate in western Germany.

    Doing my family research the last 3 years, I found out that Josh and I share this relative. This blew my mind. I found the full episode about a year and a half ago, its really been a special thing to not only find this amazing person but to actually have the privilege of having this much information has been really special. Finding this really set me off into a deep journey of putting together my family tree. It would be interesting to see if Josh and i still have any connections now in the tree. Im from Pennsylvania where this American journey starts with the Zimmerman's....just so crazy. I have spent my adult life performing and singing also so it just further reinforces that certain things just stay in the DNA and keep going.

    I mean, its pretty amazing when you think about it. The man held on so strongly to his beliefs to the day he died.

    Fascinating story; I have Mennonite and Amish in my ancestry, along with Quaker. Groban is about a 14th cousin.
