When I was about 3 years old, my paternal grandfather Charlie died. We went to St. Louis, MO for the funeral. At a house there, several family members I didn’t know were there. I remember seeing this very old woman in a wheelchair. Someone told me she was grandma Sudoff. I didn’t know who that was but she was next to my grandmother and my father. I looked at my dad and tried to picture him as a child next to my grandma who was his mother. Then I tried to picture her as a child next to the old woman in the wheelchair because I figured she must be my grandma’s mother. Growing up I’d heard a story that my paternal grandfather’s mother was a divorced woman named Flugal with children who married my great grandfather and he adopted her children under his name. Otherwise, we’d be Flugals. A couple of years ago, I was poking around in Ancestry and discovered that my grandfather was born in Michigan! I always thought he was from Missouri. I found out that his mother’s name was Carrie Rabidue from Canada and they lived in Port Huron, Michigan. I discovered that she was a witness to her brother’s marriage and at that time her last name was Flugal! Then, her whole family immigrated to Michigan. My great grandfather was born in 1850 and immigrated from England and not Scotland as I had been told. Great grandmother, Carrie had 3 children including my grandfather, Charlie. I’d never heard about his brother or sister. My great grandfather served in the Spanish American war and became a Sargent. They moved to St. Louis around 1900 (census) and he died in 1901. I found his grave in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. I continued poking around to find out what happened to Carrie. Around 1910 she married a widower named Sudhoff! So, the old woman in the wheelchair I met as a small child was my great grandmother! My grandpa’s mother! She was born in 1871. I haven’t found anything that supports that my grandpa was a Flugal. Only that he was born in Michigan in 1889 to my great grandfather and grandmother.
My daughter and I traveled to Visby Götland Sweden this last November. It was for her studies, but we knew our Swedish family had emigrated from there to the US in the late 19th century, but didn't know many specifics. We found our way to Riksarkivet and, among the things they were able to fill in was an address of their last Swedish home before coming to the US. We had walked through the old medieval town a dozen times from our hotel to the town square without knowing we were repeatedly passing my family's house. Seeing a place my great-grandparents and 2nd great-grandparents lived added to the sense of "home" we felt just being there. Oh, and the house is a quaint little bar now.
I have found the first of my name to come here to Canada (before it was called that!) my ancestors was from Germany and came to Canada via mercenary army called Hesse hanau! So amazing! I have the name of his parents but cannot find the rest in Germany… I would LOVE to know the rest!! Btw I love your show so amazing and brings out true and deep emotions! Thank you!❤️
Something similar happened with me. I had worked as a machinist in a factory in New England for ten years when one of the executives came up to me and said I bore an uncanny resemblance to someone whose photo they had on the boardroom wall. So he invited me up to the boardroom to take a look and there was a photo of my great, great grandfather. I recognized him because I inherited several photos of him. The executive asked if I was related and I pointed out that he was my 2nd great grandfather and told him the name and he flipped over the photo and the names of the people were there. He was posing with a new piece of equipment along with the son of the company founder who eventually became president and the photo was taken in 1898. That conversation took place in 1998. He was identified by company records as a master machinist who eventually became the plant manager. I had known who he was and his name but I never knew what he did for a living or who he worked for. Then that executive took me down the hall to the president's office and introduced me and the president took me over to a display case where he had another photo of my 2nd great grandfather holding up a micrometer and then in the display case was that very micrometer. So they took a photo of me holding my own micrometer and added it to the case to be included in the company history display. I found it all very surreal. They were very nice and gave me copies of the photos they had of him and a copy of the company archive record for him to add to my own genealogy collection.
She played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. Interesting her Grandmother did her thesis on Shakespeare and they didn’t know. Really moving actually.
They say our past loved ones can push us to do things. I’m sure her ancestors nudged that one… knowing how wonderful their granddaughter would be in the role

Amazing. Loved seeing Claire’s reaction. I’ve been working on my family tree since 1982. I’m often moved to tears by the stories I hear. Claire Danes is amazing.
Placing stories and real situations to the names that you may have heard for so long is moving and can be life changing. What else have you learned, Lucy?
@@AncestryUS my mom used to say there was a Matilde on her dads side but it was a male. I was like what. Well my great-great-great grandfather was Matilde Argumedo. Mom also said we were related to the infamous Benjamin Argrumedo a military leader in the Mexican civil war from the state of Coahuila. Turns out he is one of my great grandfathers brothers son. I also found out that although my grandparents had their first child in 1914, they were not married until 1927. By then my grandmother had at least 9 children. My grandfather also had a first wife who had five children. The story was that she died falling off a roof. Well I found out last year through ancestry that she did not die until June 1927. My grandparents were married in September 1927. My mom was the only living child but at least I got to tell her before she passed away in September 2022. My grandfather had 15 children. My mom was the youngest. I’ve learned more than I can ever write here.
Through the help of Ancestry, and the assist of truly kind found family, this adopted gal finished her genealogical puzzle. It's thrilling. Before that happened this show would tear me up. After, this show still tears me up. I feel ya, Claire. ❤
I once did some consulting work for his office. When I showed up for meetings, I came dressed like a $300/hour consultant, which I had been. They'd rush me off to a side room so guests couldn't see me. When I was hidden in his office, I wasn't allowed to touch the furniture, they'd have a meltdown if I so much as put a hand on a chair. (Seriously, screaming and yelling at me, an adult, about who did I think I was to touch the furniture.) Then they'd try to nickel and dime me for everything. I finally quit when they demanded I do $10,000 worth of work in a week for $1000 and that in the process I had to hook up some ancient software they loved to the web (which probably couldn't be done). Despite that I had been accepting short deadlines and low pay for previous projects, they said I was just trying to rob them and either I didn't know what I was talking about or I was lying. I'd had enough and left, wishing them good luck at finding someone who could do what they wanted at the price they were willing to pay. Absolutely everyone working there was a woman. I am a white man. I never met Prof. Gates, but the whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth.
Seriously, try and not be so easily impressed by the privileged in our society. They pay a whole team of people not on camera to do the actual work and NOT get the notoriety. Gates is just a mouth piece.
All the work, challenges, sacrifices Claire Dane made for her profession. To learn that her grandmother did the same must have felt like the reassuring embrace of a guardian angel!
I agree. We share a lot of traits with our ancestors, character and determination being some of them. It’s almost like we’re working towards the same things and we have parallel stories, but for some of these people, women in particular, life got in the way of pursuing their dreams or it simply wasn’t the norm back then. These stories are empowering because whenever we feel defeated, we can look back at how our ancestors succeeded in times of difficulty.
Claire has a such an incredible way of making you feel what she's feeling, whether performing or just being herself. I just started watching random full episodes; each is an emotional rollercoaster. It's not something I can binge on. I need a little time between eps lol.
I am really envious of people who are able to find anything about their ancestors. People in my country couldn't even write properly back in the days. Most of the history was passed from generation to generation, but without proper written language stories like this are bound to disappear with time. I know a little about each of my grandparents, and just a few things about different ancestors.
This is touching, and yeah it is quite amazing that that talent and interest was shared so recently in her family tree without her knowing previously. I love Claire Danes' acting; I was really moved by her performance in Homeland; particularly the first few seasons. I really thought she was wonderful, and imo an unusually sensitive, emotionally intelligent person; I always like and respect people like that. Comes through in this video too.
The "citizen" in me freaks out I won't lie. The whole DNA tracking this show is known for worries me, even though this particular use is a shining example of how much good can come from this. On a spiritual level I'm amazed. Connecting people with the generations that came before them is powerful and holds so much meaning. It's no coincidence Claire breakthrough was role as Juliet even though the filming experience was difficult at the time. She sure has grand courageous women in her ancestry.
I've been trying to find history about my mom. My mom was born in Sherbrooke Quebec. My mom was dropped off at a orphanage with a note. My mom was about 9mth to 1 yr old. I've done a DNA a couple years. I think the birth mom is from France that's what comes up. It would be great if l could get more help. TY!
At 3:31 this video shows a newspaper with the title "Golden Age Advertising", it's interesting to note that even back then people seemed to be quite aware of the Golden Age which I/we believe we've fully transitioned into within the last year......
I'M surprised she didn't know SOME OF THAT. Grandmother is just not that far back! I know a story or two about my great-great grandparents who lived and died in the early 1800s.
Claire Danes' grandmother wrote her Masters Thesis on Shakespeare; Claire Danes became a global movie star after starring as the lead in Romeo and Juliet 😊

Happy for Clair. A lot of people show no interest in where they come from or who they are. Always living selfishly day by day. When in fact, Claire shows exactly what it means to appreciate your ancestors.

Fact is often stranger than Fiction.
@Alles Mögliche Both were good, but I prefer the 1990's one with Claire Danes. That's my generation, X.
Actually, it was sadly pathetic how little her family shared information.
The resemblance between Claire and her grandmother and great-grandmother is absolutely beautiful.
Especially in protuding cheekbone.
@@bramantyoprahoro7284 And chin.
Claire should direct and star in a movie about her grandmother, I think that would be so beautiful.
That sounds like a fantastic idea
I find these family stories so empowering because they show how people had to deal with very difficult situations and succeeded.

One of the most underrated shows on Television
Claire Danes has aged beautifully.
She seems like a genuine person.
It feels so much to me that these are reincarnation stories (memories) and why they evoke so much emotion.
Can you explain more about this? I never heard of this concept but it is very interesting.
I agree. We share a lot of traits with our ancestors, character and determination being some of them.

Cellular memories are real, and are carried to subsequent generations in every fiber of one’s being.
I have always liked Claire’s Danes. I’m glad she found this.
That sounds like a great tv series. A woman owned advertising agency in the 1930s. Starring Claire Danes.
This is just spectacular. That she had theater just running through her veins like her grandmother and didn’t know.
Claire has a such an incredible way of making you feel what she's feeling, whether performing or just being herself.
I just started watching random full episodes; each is an emotional rollercoaster. It's not something I can binge on. I need a little time between eps lol.
Hi Steve! Thanks for stopping by! We agree, it is quite emotional watching each story on the show! We hope you enjoyed this episode as much as we did!

Claire Danes! Haven't seen her in years! Elegant woman.
In "Stardust" she starred as a star. A glowing performance.
2:18 has got to be the most Claire Danes moment. She channels this same angst in almost all of her roles.

What are these videos so short 😢😢
Hi Carol! We're glad you enjoy them! The full episodes can be watched on PBS if you'd like to see more! Have a lovely day!
She really can cry on command…, j.k😂
Je l’adore❤️‼️❤️‼️
It's fantastic to see that you've found Claire's story a rewarding watch, Gabrielle! It's hard not to be intrigued by this incredible show especially as each person's story is so unique. Make sure to check out our highlights reel from the latest season 10 of the series here if you're keen to dive into more historical insights: www.ancestry.com/c/finding-your-roots?o_iid=133758&o_lid=133758&o_sch=Web+Property.

Sounds like the making of a movie.
Not the point, but why didn't Claire's father know any of this about his own mom??? What did I miss?
I don't live there anymore, but I am from Washington. This is cool to me.
Jordan Catalano loves this.
So who is her famous "cousin"?
This title is a bit misleading. She is a professional actor, who makes a living pretending to be other people.
What season is this episode on?
The current season, it is the episode that came out this week. Episode 2.
She crazy!
She’s connected
Was Elva from Poland???
Claire Danes looks very much like Polish to me. Tomowski is Polish lastname.
"Manila is a wierd and ghastly city" Claire Danes. And she got banned in the country.
It is so awful that families just drop the importance of their close relatives.
Very moving. Professor Gates shows tremendous empathy for people who often care very little for the black condition.
What would this show be without tears and ancestors owning slaves…??
I hope to be on season 10 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That's fantastic, Benjamin! We hope so as well! Have you already applied?
