Your app should be free why pay for it

@Phanuel I am ready to join

So basically his grandfather illegally entered the country.

Hi sir I want to Help my husband to find his allegedly son from his past relationship.. according to him she was pregnant probably 4mos when her mother took her away from him since then no Communication at all I hope u Will Help US

​@@trevoroneill8131why aren't you giving me free stuff? You should be

Well said!

For sure! And may we strive to do the same for our children and grandchildren as well.

@@Misterdonp Legally or illegally, doesn’t matter.

And yet yall Americans tell other immigrants to go back to their country!! Yall ancestor did the Same thing!!

@@turuus5215it really does depends on your intentions. Illegals coming in today just want handouts. The ones before the caravan actually did it for their children not themselves.

Thank you for sharing with us! We hope you have a great day.

My late husband's came over in 1903 from the Netherlands; they were fortunate that a former friend from there now sponsored Oma and Opa. They settled in the Great Black Swamp of Northwest Ohio, an excellent area for growing vegetables- many many "truck" gardens in that area.

And yet yall Americans tell immigrants to go back to their country!! You all forget how yall reach there.

@@peachmelba9333 does the great black swamp still exist in NW ohio?

@@heavenismydomicile3280 greatly drained out but there are traces still in many of the park and wildlife areas.

Thanks for watching! We are glad to hear that this video has inspired you to document your life journey for future generations.

yeah but you are white and Australian....being Mexican is much more complicated to migrate.

@@yomommastupidcool

They'll probably curse your decision. 🤣

​@@yomommastupidOh cry me a river. Us Mexicans are not some helpless pathetic creatures. Have some pride in yourself.

Facts.

Spaniards aren't native to the America's only native indigenous Mexicans are. Spain are colonizers like the French and British don't separate them from their European counterparts.

💯

Did you really write stolen from Spain and Mexico? Spain stole it from Native Americans. Native Americans aren’t even indigenous to North America.

I feel like America needs more Asians rather than Hispanics, though. Having some portion of native blood makes you special? No. Spain and Portugal got Central and South America. That’s enough for y’all. Give North America to other people.

Even when he crying and acting crazy when he got arrested and he found out he was white? 😆

MY GREAT GREAT GRAND MOTHER , CAME TO NC. FROM LUMBARK TX. I OFTEN WONDER HOW SHE GOT TO THE EAST COAST. SHE CAME BY SHIP. WAS SOLD TO DUNLAP. SHE WAS Indigenous. I ONLY WISH I COULD KNOW HER NAME, BEFORE IT WAS CHANGED TO DUNLAP

You do look like you’re related.

Most likely! You should definitely do a dna test and see if he comes up in your database.

@@kita3256 Right, he should do a DNA and let us know!💕

Did you do a DNA test? At least try and contact Mario Lopez and tell him your story, I'm sure he would be interested. If I were you I would do it.

Hi Anita, thanks for watching. We are glad to see that you enjoyed this video.

What story? It's his grandpa! That's it! Our Hispanic ancestors were born in small ranches and villages with no hospitals and little record keeping. I actually thought for a second that they found something interesting.

@@Zert_McGert Hispanics - European, Caucasians from Spain Mestizo's - Mixed indigenous Indians with Spanish. Indigenous Indians - People who are decedents from the Maya and Aztec and didn't mix.

@@D33Lux Hispanic is not a race. Hispanic is based off the influence of the spanish culture of Spain as well as the spanish language, spanish surnames and the catholic religion celebration holidays. I'm a mestizo which my parents are from El Salvador and I'm 100% hispanic and I'm 100% latino as well.

Incredible violence, too.

Lol right was gonna say that

Just like most all major U.S. cities.

@@williamwilson6499 the USA is more violent than whole of Mexico...cartel activity is very local in Mexico and they are more present outside Mexico...Cartels are everywhere also in the USA

Yesssssir

Was it not with the bracero program?

but who is the wet back the pilgram European or the Mexican who is in Mexico already look at an old map..

THE RAZA THAT WAS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES BEFORE IT WAS CALLED THE UNITED STATES BEFORE THE THEFT AND AFTER THE THEFT OF NORTH AMERICA, YES NORTH AMERICA WERE REPATRIATED TO MEXICO, HOW? IF YOU WEREN'T OPERATION WHITE TRASH YOU WERE SENT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.

​@@Thumpiez probably the Mexican who got whooped by native Americans and then begged the USA for protection even after the USA whooped the Mexicans in a war.

Not even the Americans of Mexican descent wanted the bracers. 😆

more than 130 millions of red necks are not agree whit you.

Absolutely just look around 👊🏼👊🏼🇲🇽💪🏼 THIS IS MEXICO !!

Utha, New Mexico, CA, Nevada, Texas, Arizona ones upon at time were part of México.

​@@cguide2598 too bad the Mexicans didn't even live there because they got whooped by Comanche and Kiowa. They even got whooped in northern Mexico. 😆 Valen verga!

California was only part of Mexico for only 1 generation (26 years). California was part of Spain for more than 200 years. My greatgrandfather was from Spain.

& a coward for apologizing to the eieio community in 2019 for using common sense on candace owens podcast

Never thought I’d live to see the day that someone had to explain who AC Slater was lmao

Discovered this show a couple of years ago and got.hooked on my family tree. While my first reaction was to see how far could I go back -some branches were already online- I have been more interested in expanding the families of 19th century ancestors that I already knew existed. I had heard stories about my 3x-great grandmother and found her baptism record from 1846. Also have been trying to trace my last name all the way to Spain but currently stuck in 1718. And what my grandma thought were French ancestors turned out to be Portuguese.

We're so glad you enjoyed it, Sandy. ❤️

We're so glad to hear that you're a fan of the show, Yesenia. Thanks for dropping by! 😊

I have Lopez from Sinaloa but apparently not related to this guy. However, mine came from Durango around the 1860s. Church records from Durango are much easier to work with than Sinaloa.

What you just wrote is powerful and more folks need to hear and understand this. It would change a lot in the souls of white folks . God bless you.

Exactly, unless you were royalty, you were poor as a church mouse and treated as garbage, no matter your skin colour. White, black, Asian, Latino, any race was not free, unless they had a lot of money or title. It seems loads of people forget this. Evil comes from elites, not common people.

In behalf of all Mexicans. Thank you! At least you know this.

Except, when white people populated this country, most were given free land to farm. They came voluntarily, unlike black people. As well, Mexican people lived in the Southwest and were ousted when the land became U.S. territory. Haciendas became ranches. So yeah, it is a different experience.

​@@Cua-tanet the Mexicans were ousted when they got whooped by Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache indios. They begged the USA for protection even after Mexico got whooped by the USA in a war!

We're so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

they must be related ;)

America extends from Canada to Argentina

​@@arturoangelsanchez only losers say that. The rest of world, including Canada, refers to the USA as America.

Came to the United States to work. America is a continent, North America, South America. I think those farm workers should have been given visa's, its not like they were doing anything wrong.

@@D33Lux too bad Mexico treats migrants from Central America like garbage.

​. What about Alaska?

Sadly Mario Lopez is the type of person you wouldn't trust him. If you have daughters, make sure they stay away from him or their lives will get ruined.

If not for real white people seized some land, settled in and civilized the society, America would be a third world country no one migrates to.

@cansouDude, California was part of Mexico until 1847. You don’t need to be a genius to figure out why so many californian cities, mountains and rivers have names in spanish. Go learn some history.

@CanSoU bruh stop please. wheres your red neck STOP buttom?.

@CanSoU and hits different. how you compare alaska one of the most cold and lonely please to california and texas the most wealth states of USA.

@CanSoU this again?

@CanSoU white people. Clear now?

@CanSoU then who is african Americans? Please enlighten me.

@@bottlecap8372 the Buffalo soldier..the white mans slaves..

@BunnyHop Go and stuff that liberal, public school, non-sense down the crapper. Even through DNA testing Native American shows up different from Asian, just like African and Caucasians do. Everyone didn't descend from Asia or Africa regardless of what some dummy, privately funded, paleontologist kook tells you. There were people already in the America's since the dawn of time. Amazing how people don't know about the Olmecs, who built huge civilizations thousands of years before the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. How horse fossils were found in North America, they were here long before the last ice age which was 10-12 thousand years ago. Go research LiDar, they're finding thousands of new village sites in the Yucatan and in the Amazon's. The people of the sun were here long before the Conquistadores, or this land migration theoretical non-sense from Asia and Africa. I find it funny how people are now saying Vikings were the first to be in the America's. If they were the first, why did they have to travel by boat, while the Indigenous Natives were already living here in cities with Temples dating over 2,600 years B.C. Keep changing the story, to amuse yourselves.

You have to be famous or have money to have this transformative experience.

Thanks for sharing this insight into your own family history journey with us. It sounds like you have made some incredible discoveries to date and we want to wish you every continued success. 😊

I’ve known for years that he’s Sinaloense

He looks Asian and the state of Sinaloa Mexico has a huge Chinese population mix …..Mario doesn’t look Spanish or European at all.

@@gueromex3056 he got those chinky eyes from his indio blood

Hi oscar, thank you for the question. You can watch full episodes of Finding Your Roots on your local PBS station or by heading over to www.pbs.org/show/finding-your-roots/

Mexico is also in the American continent.

@@adrianaangelcoria1248 something that nobody ever seems to understand😂making the United States seem like if it’s all of North America

I have a 3x-great grandmother Ynes Burgos (d. 1891) from Sinaloa, her parents were Francisco and Lucia but do not know anything about any other Burgos.

Learning about the horrible things your ancestor did huh?

If you're ancestors are originally from North America, the Olmecs If you're from South America, the Inca. That's as far back historically as most people know today.

@@D33Lux bro idk who you are but you are right my ancestors are the olmecs holy moly donuts

@CanSoU why you dont make detroit great again, or kansas or ohio, or those 175,000 homeless that are in LA or those 52,000 who are living in NEW YORK, 75,000 in BOSTON?. make america great again cuz AMERICA....FCK YEAH.

@CanSoU you should see MEXICO as a HERMANO, dont as the enemy we literally would help USA if some china or russia war happens.

He certainly does, Elwood! We hope you enjoyed this episode!

Creo que es la historia de Mario lopez, mas bien de su abuelo como imigro de Mexico hacia usa despues de haber sido detenido varias veces. Mario participo en Save by the bell y otros shows. Hoy en dia tiene su propio show.

Este hombre Mario Lopez no es una persona que quisieras en tu vida. El tiene historia con asaltos sexuales con mujeres y mujeriego aunque estaba comprometido. Una senora del trabajo me llamo 'Mario Lopez' porque mi nombre es Mario. Yo lo tome como insulto, y le conteste, ' Yo soy mejor que Mario Lopez.'

Fact. I hate how all these punks today want to cry like women and seek pity. It's embarrassing.

I agree.

True

Who gives a sh$t

@@koiue.g8709 anyone who cares about their family and ancestry. Why does it bother you so much?

Ellis island wS a hellhole for lots of noneite immigrants like the Siciliano the whiter you were the easier it was to get in by other whites known fact, southwestern us was and will always be brown , if your brown you have been around!😅
