Danny Dyer’s deep “rabbit hole” exploration of his ancestry is probably the best case ever covered by this series. Started out with the woes of his dirt-poor immediate ancestors... and suddenly finding he’s the direct descendant of kings.

@@shellc6743 You seem to have a bone to pick with the show with their digging into people's ancestries and discovering they're descended from royalty. Why do you care so damn much if it isn't that big of a deal to you. TShis is the fourth comment I've seen from you about this. It's ridiculous.

@jemmajames6719 2 года назад

@@MSW96 No he’s right, if your family have been in the UK for hundreds of years, you have a high chance of being related to Royalty in the UK, if your of European origin, your related to the Emperor Charlemagne ,if you have Scottish ancestry your related to Robert the Bruce, one in two hundred men are related to Genghis Khan, so basically if your of Uk and European descent wherever you were born, you are or have a high chance of being related to royalty etc, the more you go back in time the less people there are.

I feel like, as a woman, I imediatly understood what she was charged with and why, while he took awhile to get there, and his first thoughts were that she may have killed the child. I'm not blaming him, or saying that isn't a possibility, but I think it might say something about how boys are raised and women are raised, as to what thoughts pop up first when you read that criminal record.

I like how this show features location changes and involves meeting different experts for source material. There is a similar show in the U.S., called Finding Your Roots, but its subjects sit across from the presenter and look through an album, which isn’t as dynamic.

@Neddoest Год назад

Maybe the geography makes it easier to film like this in the UK? It would probably be a _way_ more expensive show if they tried to film on location like this in the US.

This , sorry IMO is so inappropriate for him to be telling this to his 92 yr old relative. She could have reacted very badly to this news. Just because you find out family secrets, doesn't mean that's to be broadcast, especially to one's elders. This was her mother. I'm glad it turned out that the info she gave him was good and she seemed to handle his story with gracious attitude. These are delaicate matters, family history.

My nan had a stillborn baby. Nobody knew about it until my mum was pregnant with me and my brother. My brother is called Ian and when they told my nan what my brother was going to be called she told my dad and mum that the stillborn was called Ian. She never talked about it not even when me and my brother were older, but then it's not something you really talk about.

That is a name that comes from French, but it would be from centuries ago, I would expect. It sounds like Norman French connected to maybe a Norman Irish family. It has to do with a battle cry "Boutez en avant", kind of like keep pushing on, don't stop fighting. Supposedly some lords called the De Barry lords used such a war cry. One of my Irish friends has the last name "Prendreville", which means "Take the city". I wouldn't think there would be any recent French connection, just a centuries old Norman one.

You at least have the next generation parents to look for, and see if there were more siblings. Your 2x great grandmother had a seriously rough time not knowing what to do with a newborn. Some cultures taught the girls what to expect and what to do, but most generally they never figured to face those things alone. Midwives, neighbors, someone would have been helpful. It's sad that she never mentioned it, ever again. What did her parents think? Where were they? If she was married, where was the husband? Maybe, she had no one, at all. That would have been so scary sad.
