The mixed family was so loving and sweet ❤
It's too bad this show didn't get renewed. Is it because it didn't bring in the views that the celebrity centered episodes like Finding Your Roots does?
At least the next season of FYR will feature a non famous person. I prefer seeing the stories of 'regular' people.
I'm so sorry to hear that this show was not renewed, but thrilled to hear that FYR will be doing some non-celebrity shows. Both these, as well as Who Do You Think You Are, have been some of my favorite shows over the last few years. I can't believe two are not being continued. Maybe they could all join forces and offer a whole 'Genology Network' or some kind of package to the networks, because many of us love them.
It’s disappointing to know a show like this has been cancelled. What a wealth of information will be lost! Why because the ratings weren’t high enough As a viewer I’m just as excited for these families as if I was one of the families. What a loss to so many!
When will FYR have non famous episodes?? Do you know??
I'm so sorry this program was not renewed. I really wish it hadn't been scrapped. It's a fabulous show!
@@tammyderson6547it already does.
I pray Henrietta was able to live a life where she never had to do a single thing again in her life. With 15 children they should have taken care of her like the QUEEN that she was!
❤
I'm enjoying this series. So many interesting stories. Also, talk to your elders and most important listen to them when they talk. I listened to the stories of my mother and grandfather. I was able to break the brick wall that African-Americans encounter, when researching their genealogy. I know the name of my great grandfather, 2x great grandfather and great grandmother's slave-holder.
The way Bigard talks about New Orleans makes me want to visit the city so badly. He speaks in poetry.
It's an unfortunate place now. After Katrina they've had so much crime. If you go, please stay safe.
I am just now finding this series, and I love them.. I am currently working on my own family tree.
I have the Toledanos in my line as well! I have deep roots in nola and love this episode!!
My wish is to discover my families history💕 before my mother passed we had researched but hit many walls... To have such knowledge would be such an enlightenment
I learned so much with Family Search website and my husband's sister found out a lot on Ancestry website. It's fascinating! No DNA given in my part and my husband's other sister did her DNA with Ancestry.
I absolutely love this series!!!
I was looking forward to this episode as I have many connections to New Orleans and Louisiana as a whole. I'm a match to over a dozen descendants of Erasmus & Kitty Dyer Hunt of Verdunville, Louisiana that I'd like to figure out who the common ancestors are.
My husband is currently wirking on a pipeline project in Louisiana. We love the state & its people. Food is great too. His Mother lived there for a short time with her Great Aunt at 14 yrs old. We wonder why but have no answers
I ABSOLUTELY did watch til the end!! I love, love that show and all of the people.
I adore this family!
A connection to a voodoo queen would be a Hard pass for me! This teacher looks like he’s be a fun teacher. Most ppl would have no idea Louie Armstrong was raised by a Jewish white family.
Wow! I didn’t know that!
We are having the same hellish temps in FL - north FL that is - been like this since June. Good luck!
I would love to have more details on my Grandmother Eva Ruth Breth. She was married at 14 and had 3 children to the first husband, faked her death during the depression, ran off with a carpenter to NYC where she had two more children (never divorced her drunk husband) having left her first 3 with her drunk husband. Came back to Clearfield County, PA and went into hiding at my Grandfather's farm due to (if the family stories are true) a murder she had information on in NYC. Had 9 children with him (one was a twin who died before birth) and didn't marry him until the 1960's so she could still receive his black lung money. I love you Grandma, but you were a wild one.
I loved the story with all the relatives!
What a sweet story!!
So cool I enjoyed this series
Love it when the woman said my beautiful relatives of color.
I've always associated Mr. Bigard with the New Orleans Gospel Soul Children but never knew his name!
Wow! But not surprising being a native of New Orleans.
I am a decendant of Mormon Pioneers. I was born and raised in Utah surrounded by family genealogy and pioneer oral history. In the Creer family book the compiler hinted at a family secret. My dad's cousin and I talked about it. I read the book carefully and he and I think Sara Jane Bradley who married our great, great grandfather, was an identity thief. She took a deceased baby sisters papers and traveled cheaper as 12 years or younger. We wondered how a pre teen could pull her mother in a handcart all the way to Utah.
They bought their family members back!! They weren’t exactly slaves.
I learned on another genealogical TV program that free blacks would buy their family members who were still slaves. That maybe why, in the last segment, that these people had slaves
I wish the Genealogy Road Show would come to Austin TX
They did - there is a full episode on it
5 months ago
Texas gets everything 😩.. how about the east coast
South Carolina!,
@@suzannekosic4088 ya we would love you all to come to us
The Antee surname is one of those that came from France. I can trace them back to 1552 in Ruone, France, for my husband.
Sometimes black slave owners purchased their relatives and listed them as their slaves so that the freed relative would not be forced to leave the state they resided in after they became free.
Those old documents should have been handled with white gloves. The show was only on for 3 seasons...from 2013-2015. I wish it was on again. You can only watch reruns on RUclips.
For the story of Henriette, I can shed some light on something that is white genealogist might not necessarily know about. And that is the fact that already it might have been participating in a familial form, of family grouping called plaçage. If, I am right about this theory that could explain why Henriette had 2 separate and distinct families in Pointe Coupee.
Forgive me everyone on my last comment. I digress. I realize this is supposed to be a genealogy show so let me throw in a little bit of a curveball to this genealogy discussion.
A lot of people don't realize that some of the original settlers to the New Orleans area go all the way back to the 19th century when good ol' Napoleon himself was on the throne. Louisiana, for the most part was originally settled by only 4 originating settler families that came from France into what was going to be known as the "Louisiana Territory". That's right there were only 4 originating families that started all of the other families that trickled down through the French Louisiana line. One of the oldest family names that I am personally familiar with are the Beauregard's.
If you were one of the lucky ones to actually come over and settle in the territory there were only 4 reasons or four causes of action that would have allowed you to be here in the first place. 1) If you happen to have been given PERMISSION and or were a guest of the king. You were allowed to come and settle in the territory, 'by consent or decree'. 2) If you happen to have already had someone here that you knew. You could come to the territory under that condition. 3) If you happen to have started or wanted to establish a business with permission by the king you were allowed to come and settle. 4) (If I am not mistaken) married persons were allowed to come over and settle in the territory. However, these four exceptions to the original four families only came about after the originating families were firmly established in the territory, first. My guess is that perhaps the French government at the time wanted to make certain that the Louisiana Territory was going to be a viable location before they started allowing others from the country to come across the world to settle in a new land.
So, are you alluding that there were no surviving families in New Orleans before those 4 families? No Indigenous People at all, according to your "Narrative"'? Well, there are several Indigenous People who would vehemently disagree with that Narrative. Ijs.
@@mzwright2745 My apologies I should have been more specific what I was actually referring to was the original French settling families not necessarily the native peoples that were already here I was specifically alluding to the French noble families that originally came over when that section of the continent was marked out as a territory. That is what I was referring to.
Some French that arrived from Nova Scotia landed along the east coast and some settled in Louisiana territory before Napolean purchased it (pre 1800). They were given permission by King Charles III to settle there in exchange for farming the land. Along the way indigenous families moved up and down the Mississippi from areas now known as Quebec, the Detroits and other great lake areas and later settled with the new inhabitants in and around St. Martin. I think Atakapas, Islenos and others were there when the French arrived. My family were Acadians and owned land in Louisiana. This is where I find my brink wall. Where did my great great great grandfather come from prior to Louisiana. One of my branches are surname La Pointe, not by way of France but by way of great lakes areas. I wonder if there are genealogist that specialize in those areas? Some of the records are in Spanish archives and not sure how to access those. Those families have been on Spanish, French and American lands without even moving. I kind of wonder how citizenship worked in those days.
@@bfcjproperties8944 What I am referring to are the 4 French noble families that came, FROM France with / by permission of the king...those were the original French families I am speaking of.
How about the states, one at a time.
Okaaaay....the girl,who thinks she is Honduran, no she is Belizean once a British colony, it became independent of the UK in 1981 located just north and east of Guatemala...it a small country populated by a few hundred thousand people mainly Caribbean Blacks. It is English speaking, a completely different culture from Spanish speaking Honduras. Im an American retiree in the region for part of each year. I have been to both for extended periods of time the only thing they have in common is being located in Central America.
The last woman’s family owned slaves which were family members. It was common to do so to prevent reenslavement
Louisiana is a pirate ship named Dunning Kruger
For the gentleman by the name of the Bigard why didn't the genealogist also pull the Census records for Marie Laveau herself and or any suspected children? It would seem to me that if they already knew who Marie was either living with and or who she was married to that the genealogist would have pulled the Census records for Marie just like she pulled the records for Albany Bigard too.
Strange, that the genealogist would not have thought to pull those records too.
I was thinking the same. It was sort of a let down.
About 8 years ago a friend of mine took me to New Orleans Louisiana for the very first time. One place my friend was insistent on taking me to was, the world famous Café Du Monde restaurant right in the heart of the city square.
Like a lot of businesses in America that were either bought off by non interested interests or, sold out right, the same can be said about Café Du Monde.
When I visited all those years ago I quickly realized that Café Du Monde is no longer a New Orleans based interest-institution. That iconic restaurant which has been around for close to 120 years or maybe a little bit less is now exclusively owned by the Chinese!!! Yes the Chinese.
Café Du Monde which had historically been a family-owned, family-run restaurant for almost eighty to ninety years from what I remembered reading on the back menu flap, of the history of the place, is now no longer owned by, anybody that's an American citizen as far as I could tell.
One waitress person that would speak to me I asked her who owns the restaurant and she says, "oh the owner is not here now. The owner is away" I asked her, "where"? She said "yes in China". So sad to see. Like I said before Café Du Monde is NOT owned by any American interest whatsoever. That was the one big 'downer' to my visit in New Orleans.
The people working there from what I could see they had no real interest in the business. They had no real stake from a personal level in the goings-on of that business. They were literally simply there to grab and snatch money just as soon as they could get it. There was no personality there. No feeling there...... no sentiment in any part of their service to the people that were coming in (by the way) by the droves. Just droves and droves of people.
No one smiled. No one looked up. No one offered anybody any 'seconds' or asked if you enjoyed what little bit we ordered. They would just come and plop the food down right in front of you. The coffee went everywhere. Slopped and just slung at you. There was more coffee on TOP the tables and powdered sugar ON the floor than I've ever seen in my entire life. There was just no feeling behind any part of their service at Café Du Mondé. Not necessarily looking to go sit there, anymore.
That's so sad
Yes, sad. There is definitely a different feel in the city now.
@@user-ll5cc6pg4y much to your credit and wisdom and to be fair to all around while I agree 100% with what you said I also have to acknowledge and admit that the experiences of the both of us meaning you and your family and that of myself was unfortunately tempered by the fact that so many people were displaced after Hurricane Katrina. It's my best guess that a lot of the Creoles and Cajuns and other true Louisiana natives that would have been still there were all displaced or run out of the city after Hurricane Katrina. A lot of those people never came back a lot of those people never returned so unfortunately with their absence other people just moved in.
Something tells me that if we all would have visited New Orleans maybe 20 or 30 years around the time when that woman first moved there I'm sure we would have seen a very different group of people and a very different New Orleans at that time.
That's probably what people felt about people migrating there throughout history tbh
Mulatto is not 100% necessarily African American but of mixed decent & very likely of that decent

Is the woman who was looking for a Joseph Ripoll .....is it possible that his wife the so named "Marie Laveau", is the same infamous "Marie Laveau" who was the New Orleans voodoo priestess?
To look that much like your 3rd great grandfather!!
He said wow 6789 x
So it seems like her mixed offspring separated from her regular offspring, that's sad.
People don't born racist, racist is taught coward bastrad took his own life wasn't man enough face his actions

I’m from NOLA. I’m known as “a Acadian of greater New Orleans. Can someone tell me what that means?
It was part of Canada.
Why do they never wear gloves when fingering those archives? 🤔
I wonder how much it cost for you guys to do someones geneology
These stories are all WEIRD. Why do Genealogy Roadshow episodes keep coming up as if there are no decent genealogy shows on the earth.
What an ignorant way to define "Banana Republic" it never referred to "instability" it referred to the economic exploitation of central American nations by US corporations.
They talking about “we all family“ when clearly your ancestors are linked by rape and slavery. 🙄🙄🙄 Black ppl are survivors. Period.
Do you think they are stupid and that they dont know this? They choose to create a positive relationship and that is wonderful unlike people like you who wants to recreate division and racial strife
Couldn't help but get a kick out of how they dubbed in John ᴿᴵᴾᴸᴵᴺᴳᴱᴿ's surname a few times starting at 36:16.
