Annie's deductions at the end are powerful. "It's all a very dark Victorian melodrama to me."

@teaCupkk Год назад

Her "deductions" are terribly dull. These people are given a rare glimpse into the lives of their ancestors, and they ruin it by being unable to set aside their modern sensibilities for a few minutes.

She is truly amazing. She and Joss Stone are the only folks who could hold their own with The Revernd Al green, because the Man can get a bit Cray Cray on Stage. When Justin Timberlake and he did a Show on Memphis, TN., he knew he had so much work to do. The Scots, Irish, and British have produced some of the best Blue Eyed Soul Singers.

"they were in a relationship" .... highly unlikely. what a polite way to tiptoe around the distinct possibility that Rose forced himself on Mary, perhaps she was a servant of his at the time. this is was quite common as we all know.

It’s too bad they didn’t do “child support” back then or Mary’s child by that man might have had a better life. Of course there wasn’t a way to prove paternity so I guess it wouldn’t have been possible.

Annie is descended from Stewarts and had a relationship with Dave Stewart. Nothing negative, 'Stewart' is probably a huge umbrella, but it's interesting how people with things in common find each other, whatever those things may be.

It’s a very common name. But they were often marrying cousins of some sort in rural Scotland, it was inevitable.

My grandfather told me stories that I/we were related to royalty. 👸🏼Apparently there was a female who renounced the royal throne because she fell in love with a man who was not suitable to marry. Of course I have the RH- blood-type supposedly the royals have but who really knows. Wouldn’t it just be fun to have someone lookup your family tree for you? I would be completely intrigued .

@paulreynolds9003 4 года назад

Don’t worry Ann I think your life will work out ok.

@lmc2375 Год назад

She likely isn't worried for her own life. Clearly, it's well within reason she is disturbed by the hardship her ancestor had endured. That is if one is compassionate, and she is very much that.

@fredrika27 4 года назад

And no one is saying what a dush James Rose was to the mother of his daughter! We're not to malign James's good name by saying he possible took advantage of his maid servant! It's simply they had an affair. The baby was born, but the father didn't behave like a gentleman. He chose to keep up appearances by living a lie! He most probably knew about his daughter's condition all along! When it came to a head and the family was going to the poor house, he saved the youngest because she was the most convenient and could be sheltered under the radar while his own daughters would never be put into service! King Edward VIII treated the bed chamber maid with more reverence! I have no respect for him at all!

@meganr9280 4 года назад

Yeah, it’s too bad he isn’t still alive for all to tell him to his face.

@floraposteschild4184 4 года назад

James was probably not wealthy. Middle class, lower class, and even fairly poor people had servants, either living in or coming in to help occasionally.

@EchoBravo370 3 года назад

1) It shows the curse of being born illegitimate 2) James was probably not as wealthy as you think. He did what he could given the confines of the 'system'. But he and his sister were probably just forking out a living as well.

@angelalurtz3638 Год назад

Nobody is asking for anything to be done for them. Just want to know their stories and understand their lives a bit more. Epigenetics also suggests that a person's traumas change their DNA, and those changes are passed down for up to 7 generations, so really you're learning a little something about your own building blocks when you find out about the experiences of your ancestors.
