In this video, I talk about the 2nd part of my trip in Europe to meet my long lost cousins - my time in Amsterdam. This first video focused mostly on my time in London, but this video focuses on my time in Amsterdam - including visits to the famous Synagogue Esnoga, Beth Haim Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, and meeting my long lost cousins.

I am from the States, and all my ancestors are all Western European, really. I booked a trip to London and Copenhagen. My danish side is super recent, like the last 80 years, and I know I have cousins there and have their contact info, but I felt awkward to ask. But this kind of gave me a sign to reach out to them while I am over there. They still are on the farm, that my great father raised pigs on. Back in the 30s.

Very moving story, specially in the monument in honor to the victims of the Shoah and see all those members of your family murdered. On the other side, to put light into our family ancestry is freeing and brings a deeper understading of who we are. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us :)

Oh, I loved it. I probably won't ever get to see the town where my grandfather was born way back in 1879, but I almost made it the year before covid. It was so fulfilling to hear your journey day by day. I do hop so much that you will be able to return for a longer time.

I enjoyed this so much. I love how you presented/edited it, really professional and enjoyable. I appreciated seeing the maps, and day numbers, and seeing your family tree to understand more the connections. I really would like to go on an ancestral places trip like this. Half of me is where I'm from so I've got to visit places/buildings/cemeteries connected to my English side - and before they took the old slabs up from our market square I used to love walking there knowing so many of my ancestors had walked on them too. The other half of me is from Poland. I've found names of my ancestors and the villages they came from. The emotional side of finding/not being able to find relatives & ancestors and what happened to them (my grandparents were taken during WWII) was heavy so I've taken a break for a while but hope to be able to find out more one day.

Here from the Netherlands, good you enjoyed your Dutch trip. Droste is not a very popular chocolate anymore but that’s just not to the point. I am amazed of what you have found. I have an American-in-law and recognise the same dedication to researching his family tree. Hè has mostly Norwegian ancestors but also connections to Holland so that’s cool for him as he’s married to a Dutch person. Our ancestors were refugees from France fleeing for the Huguenot persecution by Catholics, we still bear the French Surname.

@youserawaiting3876 Месяц назад

The statue that is shown after the wall monument is "De dokwerker" (dock-worker) and refers to the mass strike that was held to protest the German razzia's on Jews. It has been the only public protest action in occupied Europe against these razzia's.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a very awesome trip. Hope you are able to go live there for a few months. Would totally be a fabulous time.

@IvoTichelaar Месяц назад

Huis de Pinto is now kind of a community center run by locals. As far as I understand, the building had to be either demolished or restored. The then-current owner died and the building fell into disrepair. It was acquired by the city and restored. My employer used a space there for meetings. It is a beautiful building. My grandparents hid a Jewish man from the razzias. They also supported Jews in hiding elsewhere, which were unfortunately caught. Protecting their neighbours seemed obvious to them, however they did not believe the rumours about genocide. When the Holocaust/Shoah was confirmed to be true, they were devastated. Did they try hard enough? Could they have fit another person in their attic to hide? I don't think they were ever at ease with their efforts.

@-_YouMayFind_- Месяц назад

You were in my country! haha btw MyHeritage changed my results from 81,8 North-Western European, 16,8 English and 1,4% Irish, Scottish to 100% Netherlands (and Flanders). Which I am not 100% Netherlands, because I have a German men in my family tree so I should have some German in there that came to Netherlands in 1830 aside from the Flanders and Dutch. But we are Roman Catholic ( from Sourthern Netherlands: North-Brabant) and my grandma has dark hair, dark eyes and tans easily so somehow I thought there would be something Iberian or Italian in there also because the Spanish invaded our country in the past. My sister did have 2,9% Italian in there though, but she is the only one so far that has that. My grandma, father and I do not have any Iberian or Italian in there. My grandma had 1,1% Finish that was quite random in there, but they also renewed her results and now she is 100% Netherlands too.

@RoseBee 26 дней назад

Amazing video! Would you be able to find your ancestors' stones with something like ground penetrating radar? It would be very interesting to get a catalogue of pictures of the stones, I think, if they're still readable. Peat is rather acidic and could really deteriorate the headstones, I fear...

@GeneaVlogger 26 дней назад

If only I had the money! In the late 1800s, there was a man named David Henriques de Castro who cataloged and mapped the entire cemetery. Most of the graves after that have been documented pretty well, so they know where most everyone is buried. Would be nice to have images of all the stones!

@GeneaVlogger 26 дней назад

Not really, the cemetery's funds only allow for basic upkeep. It would take a significant donation to allow a project like that to happen, which I hope to happen someday, but at the moment there doesn't seem to be anyone willing to step up who has the funding available.

@ThatSuzanneSchmid Месяц назад

Re. Sarah Lopes Dias, was this a common last name in her era? I ask because after I watched this video, someone I know posted on Facebook that they are in London looking at headstones and she mentioned a great great grandmother with the same surname. She also mentioned Amsterdam and that this relative was Jewish, buried in the Sephardic Jewish Cemetery in Miles End in London.

@GeneaVlogger Месяц назад

The Lopes Dias family in London were part of the Chuts movement I mentioned and many who went to London are actually from Sarah Lopes Dias' brother Samuel Lopes Dias. So the grave you saw someone post about was likely a relative of mine.

@mfrancldonnay Месяц назад

Yes - the grave was my great great grandmother’s and we are related.

@ThatSuzanneSchmid Месяц назад

@@GeneaVlogger I suddenly remembered that I have many DNA matches in Amsterdam. I searched on myHeritage and found that 3 matches have Nunes in their tree. One relative has Sara Lopes Diaz and Lea Nunes Vaz. I don't know if that's how I'm related to them. Do you have a GEDmatch ID to compare? I'm assuming all these matches are on my paternal side (Jamaica)

@DanSolo871 Месяц назад

Time 4:05 - I feel you cling to taste sensations of the past when you were a kid. You need to let go of this and move on. There are so many foods that I refused to eat for many years because I could not, would not eat when I was a kid. As I've gotten older, I would try these foods again and they would be palatable, sometimes good. That's not to say I will eat a yam today, but cauliflower, brussel sprouts, asparagus, creamed spinach are all foods I can eat today. If your grandpa or dad let you have a sip of scotch when you were eleven and your reaction was, "GOOD GOD! How can someone drink that stuff?" but today, you have no problem getting a scotch at a social event, then your sense of taste changed. It's the same with food.

@GeneaVlogger 26 дней назад

I feel like you're making a pretty big assumption about me. Your comment honestly makes it sound like you think I haven't changed my eating habits since I was 10 years old. Just because I know I don't like certain foods doesn't mean I don't constantly try foods. I worked 10+ years in kitchens, at various types of restaurants, and I had to constantly taste foods I was cooking but disliked. Some things just never tasted any better, but I did learn a lot about what I didn't like and why I didn't like it. People have this misconception that if everyone forced themselves to eat something over and over that it will suddenly taste good (change their hedonic response), but that isn't always going to be the case. This is especially true for supertasters, which I am, because certain tastes are much more intense and unpleasant. As an example, many dairy foods are too intense for me, so I don't like cheese by itself, alfredo pasta, or even cheesecake. I used to do for prep work for years and cheesecake was as unpleasant to me the first time I ate it as it was the hundredth time I ate it, but the only way to properly check taste and consistency was taking a bite. But I also learned what I liked and how to include things I didn't like, but were good for me, in a way that it didn't cause issue.

Yes, I have been using the pro features for a while and so far the shared matches tool seems to be the only worthwhile tool. It has been quite buggy for me as well. Not sure if I will make a video about it, but I might.

The mirrors were intentionally cracked to illustrate that even the sky, at day or night, will never reflect or look as it did before Auschwitz... And yes, the monument was damaged, and repaired. The glass plates over the mirrors were broken. They had to be replaced because damp prevented reflection.

Im 100% European. I however dont understand the 9% italian and 8.5% Iberian. Ive made a family tree, a proffesional helped me and all seems to check out, and all are Hungarian, Dutch (some moved from France around 1700) or German. I cant find any italians or Iberians, though it should be a 3rd grandfather or something right?
