Martin Sheen discovers the CRAZIEST genealogical coincidence! 

That's crazy 😮

Jeetje! Ongelofelijk.

Hope you didn't have to spell that too many times! I thought Chautauqua was bad,!

Probably Antonia had those big amazing blue yes !!!!!!!!!!!

With all due respect to him and his heritage: i'm doubtful that Sheen has ever extensively spoken Spanish in his life. Him playing up an accent while reading the names is probably just for show. He is an actor after all and most of them love to create "moments" or intrigue.

@@Bale4Bond he changed his name from Estevez to Sheen, and he does naturally speak fluent Spanish.

@@TruthSayer2007 I am aware of the name change. The only thing in question for me is the actual closeness to his (supposed) native language.

​@@Bale4Bond he doesn't speak Spanish, at least not to any degree of fluency. There are a few interviews with him here on youtube conducted by spanish speaking journalists and he either uses an earpiece translator or the interviewer switches to English.

He does not have an Spanish accent. As a native speaker, I can say he sounds like any other american trying to speak Latin Spanish. It is very sad he can't pronounce well his surname. It is Estevez not Esteves.

Half irish and half spanish.

@@PepicoHellines no he said it right: half Galician (autonomous part near Portugal) and half Irish

@@ingridwatsup9671 Sorry, Galicia is Spain..., both are correct...

Ethnically speaking Martin Sheen is a Galician, Galicians are a distinct ethnic group of the Iberian peninsula. It is therefore more accurate, more precise to point out Galicia. Especially if you take into account, that it is a very distinct place, with a strong identity, culture.

@@PepicoHellinesHis Spanish half is Galician through and through.

Charlie got it from his great great great great paternal grandfather, no doubt ......

Origninally german though right? I thought Catharine the great invited the Mennonites to russia.

Doesn't everyone in America believe he is somehow a bit German? ... it's a prestigious thing as far as I know...

@@KrlKngMrtssn And Irish

The way my Mennonite family describes it (also from the Ukraine before moving to Canada) they spoke a form of Old German. My grand- and great-grand parents could still speak it.

my dad is dutch menonite background!

How interesting! We're all related. Have you seen the DNA connection of all US Presidents. "ALL OF THEM" (including Barak Obama) are cousins to various degrees, EXCEPT "one." I believe that is Van Buren. Americans (the originals, who descend from the beginning of the nation) are all cousins now.

😮❤

@@cadredeux1047 Yes, Robert Frost was descended from Charles Frost. Charles’s son John was my 8th great grandfather and Robert Frost’s 4th great grandfather, making him my 5th cousin 4 times removed. John Frost was a survivor of that ambush, along with another of Charles’s sons, Phoebe’s husband, and a few other neighbors. Ambush Rock is still there, from what I’ve seen online. I’ve been on vacation to Maine twice, but not since I discovered the family history there. I do want to return to that area, as well as head up to New Brunswick, Canada, where the Littlefields that I am descended from moved to from Maine. I would love to spend a day or two at the provincial archives doing research. I’ve already bern working with someone there to track down the military records of two 5th great granduncles who fought in the War of 1812 and one of whom might have fought at Waterloo. I have him transferred to England in November 1814, so he was in Europe at the right time, so it’s still a viable possibility.

Wife and I discovered that our ancestors probably knew each other at the court of Charles I.

@@cadredeux1047 I’m descended from Phoebe’s sister Deliverance. I was researching some of my Frost distant cousins who had joined the Shakers in Alfred, ME in the early 1800s and reached out to the librarian at the Shaker Village Museum there. When I mentioned the Frost name, his immediate question was “Kittery Frosts or York Frosts?” I just love it when I talk to long-time residents of the area with that level of local knowledge!

He did that because his left arm is shorter than his right. He is still self-conscious about it.

There’s a story about him giving a kid a ride home from filming when doing Gettysburg.

Cornwall’s like that!

Love God better

Lol

As recently as the early 1900s my father's father married a young women, she and their child died during child birth, 6 years later he married her sister, who was my grandmother. People did live in very small communities born, lived their whole lives and died in the same place. Very usual to marry and reproduce in the same family circles. My fathers family we have traced back to the early 1600s, and their are several loops of intermarriage, usually 2nd, third and fourth cousins..

Exactly, you're right.

My own parents are distant cousins. They share a common great grandmother...the city was small. But many people married from the neighboring towns, and settled in that city. Had fun looking over old 500+years old records online...

The Scottish Clan wars is a prime example of how the past can deliver a strange twist in the present.

​@@elliecobb2734😅

the world isnt small but eruope is : P

My college friend and post college housemate and I are 7th cousins on her dad side and 4th cousins on her moms side. That’s from my dads side. On my Chinese/Vietnamese moms side a 1st cousin kids are, of course, 1st cousins once removed but thru our American born dads about 6th to 8th cousins.

Muy amable

The Irish part had to be the proud part 😊☘️🇮🇪

Or he took what he wanted and it was called an "affair". Which is more likely. during that time...?

Even in Latin America say, one hundred years ago, to have a mistress in spite of the strong Catholic culture was considered "average" and a distinction of a kind of rich kind of powerful man, yeah, he would do as he pleases, he has the power and the money. Because six kids is more than just an affair, so probably Mrs. Suàrez just closed her eyes since she was the wife, consecrated as such in Church "what God united man cannot separate". Antonia was undoubtessly young, beautiful and the "official" Mistress of Don Diego. Those were the days ...

That's why you need to do your family tree!

Si exactamente, soy Britanico y cuando conoci a Galicia me llamo la atencion en cuanto se parecia al oeste del Reino Unido, y mas que nada a Cornualles, hasta el ambiente Celta, el paisaje y las construcciones. Hasta que creo que hubo gente hace muchos siglos atras en el pasado que se huyo de Cornualles para Bretaña en Francia y algunos llegaron hasta Galicia, creo que hay un pueblo, Bretoña que se llama asi por esto.

​@@aldozilli1293 Es que Irlanda también tuvo un emblematico (y mitico) rey gallego, Breogán, que se dice era un caudillo celta en tiempos romanos. De hecho algunos incluso le atribuyen la construccion de la Torre de Hercules. En siglos posteriores escrivas irlandeses relataron las hazañas de este rey en Lebor Gabála Érenn (Libro de las Conquistas Irlandesas) que por lo visto fundo una comunidad hispana en aquellas tierras y se situa estos acontecimientos en el norte de Irlanda y luego más concreamente en el area de Brega, en Irlanda.

@@aldozilli1293 Interesante! Gracias por la información ❤

Lol. My dad's joke is "Our family tree is a power pole." But, actually, that's not true on my dad's side of the family, as my grandparents (his parents) came from different communities and I've never seen a link between them. (Although my grandmother had two sisters that married two brothers.) On my mother's side of the family, however, we're descended from the three founding families in a certain area. You'll get dizzy how much you go in a circle there. Lol.

What an exciting discovery

Very cool! He purchased Alaska from Russia for the U.S.for 2 cents an acre!

Lol how?

A movie in general called Family tree would be cool. One searching his roots and such...

Thats very sensible

Oh come on loo. That's 9th generation lol. Surely that's not that bad right

That would be funny but in this case, the name of the town comes from Latin "Pera rubeas" which means "red rocks". Makes more sense that a town's name is based on a feature of the location than the possibility of two blonde women living there or cows.

Cool I need my great great grandfather …. I feel uncomfortable… they move to Malaysia from India and I need if get discovery about it .. I would find far blood cousins

Hello Ms. Butts. From Mrs. Betts.

Research Jean Bethencourt family. 1000 years of Norman Hispanic History.

Did you know that Latinos are Native American, Spanish, and or Portuguese mixed. Martin Sheen just has Spanish. I have connections to the Spanish/Portuguese royalty from 1000 years ago.

If we go 1000 years back, basically everyone descends from royals.

😅

No. Because not everybody in Britain had ancestors who fought at Hastings and not everybody has Norman ancestors.

Also parts of Portugal 🇵🇹. The name Portugal coms from port de Gaul. Which is a Celtic goddess. Also the celts that left for Ireland came from Spain 🇪🇸. And all coming from Austria 🇦🇹 before that

​@@UnbrokenWillll"Gaul" is not a Celtic goddess😂what are you smoking

@@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96 it’s a Latin version of cale which is a Celtic goddess the word is derived from “caileach”. The names was portucale and became Portugal after become Latinized . History is interesting. Nice try tho

@@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96 are you saying cale is not a Celtic goddess / mythic derived from caileach?

😀 Oh my...

Having the same first name run through generations is quite common. On my father's side we traced back to 1820. There was always a William a James or a William James each generation. Funnily my grandson (Italian) was called Giacomo (Italian for James) without my daughter knowing anything about her British ancestry

@@lesleywall4186 similar names I had on mums tree side too. All those come male names from Germany from 16 to early 19 hundreds. Wilhelms, Friedrichs, Daniels, Heinrichs etc. Women's names where abit more diverse, but there are still commen names like Dorothea or Katharina. Just the Generation of my parents got more diverse names and just my generation started with unusual names. Since the 1970. Still my name is a variation of maria just like my grandma. As a boy I would have get names from both grandfather's...

Very cool!

😂😂😂😂

Portuguese and Galician are the same people.

My grandfather was born in Portugal

@@joserodrigues46 spanish and portuguese are the same people

@@f.v.guardiola8911 you are wrong saying "Spanish" because Spain has several nations. We and Galicians share the same ethnic origin, and we may be closer to people from Zamora, Badajoz or Huelva, but not with the other regions of Spain.

How can you tell the difference between Portuguese and Galician names or surnames? What you have said is pure non sense.

Oh do tell your 20th great grandparents I interested to know

@@lisanevins3605 Like everyone, I have just over a million 20th grandparents, who would have made up about 0.3% of the human population at the time that they lived. By 30 generations the number is higher than the total population at the time, therefore the reason we're all related.
