I saw this episode of Angie Harmon on Who Do You Think You Are. It turns out that the farm she went to visit, where she met her distant cousin, has been kept in the Harmon family for 300 years! So, she’s actually walking on the same land as her 5 times great grandfather! Amazing!
One thing I've noticed about famous people that live outside of California, either back in their home states or elsewhere tend to be alot more connected with reality and just more relatable and down to earth and at peace.
Greece is everywhere, i love her so much she is amazing, and her daughters beautiful creatures !!!! I miss her from the series and Especially Rizzoli and Isles !!! hello from Greece !!!
Congrats! It is very rewarding to find family! I did this journey some years ago n was amazed at some of the results! Good for you n your girls! Thanks for sharing! ATB👍👍😎👍👍!
I had the opportunity to visit the plot of land in Ireland that my great great etc grandfather left to come to the US...if you ever happen upon the opportunity to do such a thing, I cannot possibly encourage you enough. It is truly amazing to step back in time....ineffable.
On the BBC there is also a series called Who do you think you are and amongst the famous people who were in it, Charles Dance, aka Tywin Lannister was one of them. So interesting!
Love Angie Harmon. Smoky voice + beauty + acting talents. But what difference does it make even if we were to go back 100 generations. Dig far enough and you'd realize we all share a one ancestor : a single cell organism!
her mother was a model a long time ago too i believe the name was daphne demar caravangeli but i cant find any pics of her there so much we dont know about her mother we atleadt have pics of her father
I always find these shows interesting. The one on PBS also does DNA testing, mainly to show ancient roots. I would be interested to see that on Angie, see if there is a good explanation for the very dark hair and dark eyes. Perhaps something Mediterranean?
So hot it's ridiculous. What's the code for a 6 alarm Fire ? Kinda forget it may be potential drowning...or just Angie taking a bath. Omg. She's gets this Alarming Fox look too 💛
The original name "Harman" actually translates to "army-man" (= soldier) in German. And there's something about the first name at 2:47 It's stated as "Mich'l", not "Michael". Now, "Mich(e)l" is nowadays seen as a short or alternative form of "Michael", but it used to be a hidden name. Here's the short version for those, who only want to learn about the meaning and don't care about the backstory: While "Michael" is a biblical name (-> Hebrew), "michel" is an adjective in Middle High German (a historical form of German, that is not spoken anymore). It means "big". Most originally German names consist of two words in Middle High German. That includes names, that still exist in English, like Richard ("rich + strong"), Robert ("tall + bright"), Baldwin ("brave friend"), Belinda (from Bertlinda = "bright + tender") etc. Even Amerigo Vespucci's first name (after which the continent of America was named) has this German root. It's the Italian version of "Amelrich". Now, the first part, "amel", means "hardworking" or "industrious". The second part, "rich" is trickier, because it has multiple meanings as an adjective and a noun. Like in the name Richard, the adjective "rich" means "rich" or "powerful". But used as a noun it can also mean "monarch" or "kingdom". So you can translate Amelrich as "hardworking + rich" or metaphorically as "someone, who has earned his wealth". But you can also translate America as "powerful kingdom". Now, back to Mich'l: I called this a hidden name for a reason. Germans weren't too enthusiastic about being christianised for quite a long while. Although from the 4th century AD on considerable efforts were made to destroy paganism in Europe and make Europeans good little members of the church, many groups like the German tribes fought it. When it became apparent, that they would have to submit to the church's rule, because their aristocrats had accepted Christianity, they found other ways to preserve their cultural heritage. The church showed its supremacy by renaming their holy places, for example, to extinguish traces of the pagan gods. They tried to put Christian names on them, and were surprised when the stubborn locals suddenly took action and named many of the holy mountains and hills "St. Michael's mountain/hill". To missionaries (who were usually foreigners and knew little to nothing about the local culture) this seemed like a success, but it wasn't. People only pretended to comply, by using their own words (like michel = big), that resembled biblical names (Michael), to satisfy the church and still preserve the original meaning. Many St. Michael's mountains used to be called Wotansberg (= Odin's mountain) before christianisation. They coded them as "the BIG god's mountain". Similarly they started using the female biblical name "Anna"/"Hannah" very early on, because it resembled "Arna", the short form of several female German names starting with "arn" = "eagle", like Arnhild (female "eagle warrior"). But was this still a common thing in the 18th century, when Michael Harman was born? Yes. As long as people spoke Middle High German, they were aware of the true meaning of the hidden names, and even after that time this was passed on as secret knowledge in groups, that tried to evade the church's rule. To understand how long opposition to the church existed in Germany, you need to know, that in 1284 AD a whole town was punished for engaging in a pagan summer solstice celebration. Those people's children were lured away by authorities and buried alive in a mountain cave. You know this town as Hamelin and the story as the story of the Pied Piper. There is a real historical background to it, that has been preserved in chronicles, even with an eyewitness, who saw the piper lead the children out of the town. So 900 years after Christian missionaries had begun to wipe out paganism, there were still people in Germany, who remembered their pagan traditions and followed them. I personally know of a German village, whose inhabitants were resettled into a swamp in the 18th century, because they refused to attend church. The local bishop was made aware of their unruly behaviour, had their original village destroyed and made them build a church on the only rock in the swamp, so he could install a priest there and make them attend. It's absolutely possible, that Michael Harman came from a very poor and remote corner of Germany, where the church didn't have as much influence as it would have liked to have, and was given a hidden name, because his people still - after 1400 years of persecution - rejected Christianity.
It is very odd that some people who are assisted with their genealogy are made to wear gloves when handling original documents, and some aren't. Personally, I would wear gloves. The oil in your hands will not hurt the original documents that way. The originals are extremely fragile, and should always be treated that way.
Anything that interferes with tactile feedback can increase the likelihood of paper particularly being torn. There is a great video by the British museum on when and why different conservators wear gloves or not.
Wouldn't it be more important to find some of her relatives in Germany than get over excited about his ancestors military past? Iam just saying but again iam only European

Well, do remember that their passage to America was paid by others and the indenture was only for a specific period of time - and they were housed and fed and usually taught a skll during that time.
Well, the darker side of the family is usual more dominant than others. I'm part Latina American nad part german i live and grew up in germany yet i don't look like one because of my mother. She still have the german DNA though.
@@lisarice4402 She said her mother is fully Greek. It was reported in the past that she had some Cherokee ancestry, but it was false. Personally, I think she looks for the most part what she is, which is a North/South European mix.
@@lisarice4402 Replying to jaywalker, you said that Angie stated she had Cherokee on her fathers side. Then you gave all this information essentially disproving it. Your now saying her Greek mother has Cherokee, I'm confused.
This is what I found, jay walker: Birth Name: Angela Michelle Harmon Place of Birth: Highland Park, Dallas, Texas, U.S. Date of Birth: August 10, 1972 Ethnicity: *father - English, with small amounts of German, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, remote Dutch *mother - Greek Angie Harmon is an American actress and model. Her parents had both been models. Her father has English, with small amounts of German, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh, and remote Dutch, ancestry. Her mother is of Greek descent. Angie has stated that she has Cherokee Native American ancestry on her father’s side. No Native American ancestry appears in family trees of Angie, many of which trace her lineage back to the 1600s. All of Angie’s paternal grandparents and great-grandparents are listed as “White” on United States Censuses. Angie has three children with her former husband, football player Jason Sehorn. Angie’s paternal grandfather was Henry J. Harmon, Jr. (the son of Henry Jefferson Harmon and Celia Estella/Stella McGoldrick). Angie’s grandfather Henry was born in either Iowa or Missouri, depending on the census. Angie’s great-grandfather Henry was the son of James George Harmon and Sarah J. Brookshire. Celia was the daughter of Usher P. Layton McGoldrick and Mary Jane Oliver. Angie’s paternal grandmother was Velma Evelyn Daugherty (the daughter of Augustus Lonnigan Daugherty and Lucy Adeline Brown). Velma was born in Oklahoma. Augustus was the son of Andrew Jackson Daugherty and Millie A. Pike. Lucy was the daughter of Christopher Columbus Brown and Martha Adeline Conner. Angie’s maternal grandfather was Demos Angelo Caravageli (the son of Angelo Caravageli and Mary Scouras). Demos was born in Texas, to Greek parents. Angie’s great-grandfather Angelo was born in Volos, Thessalia, Greece, the son of Emanuel Caravageli and Mary. Angie’s maternal grandmother was Maria George Karalekas (the daughter of George Karalekas). Maria was of Greek descent.

J Chis - you can only hope you are regarded with dignity when it comes your time. Not everyone who has the ancestry will have anything that people assume is typical of any Native ancestry.
