Why did they cancel this series? This needs to be brought back! I absolutely loved this series! One if the best!! Bring it back!!!!!

@felishahauswirth9336 9 месяцев назад

I agree!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!

@vtuschen 7 месяцев назад

I Have the same thoughts. History Detectives was my all time favorite show and they cancelled that show too. What are those TV executives thinking!!

@nillyk5671 4 месяца назад

Because they are not taking DNA tests. Many of them must have been getting information on people who aren't even related to them.

Here is a tid-bit about the Nigerian prince story - I worked at a very large postal facility back when this scam was going on. We used to received trays and trays of this scam letter from Nigeria. It was staggering the amount of letters they must've been sending to suck people into this scam.

When she said a stowaway from Portugal I knew they were gonna mention Cape Verde. Since I am Cape Verdean from New Bedford. What I found most interesting is he moved to Philly and lived in a boarding house with other CVs. Cuz I thought most of the Cape Verdeans just settled in New Bedford. Very interesting 😊

There are also Family History libraries around the US - some very small and some quite large. When I lived in Phoenix I would go to the family History in Mesa, AZ which was wonderful. Even some of the smaller libraries are able to borrow microfilm from the large library so this is a very good place to start!

I discovered thru Family Search that my 10th cousin is non other than Walt Disney. And he is related to me through my Grandma’s family. Walt’s Grandmother is cousins with my Grandma’s Grandma. Such a cool connection. It would be wonderful to get a nice chunk of the Disney empire. But from what I understand. Walt’s kids will NEVER share a dime.

@patrickwilliams1060 10 месяцев назад

Just seen a couple of these shows. I think they're awesome! For this episode though, the lady describing lynching seems to be real animated to express the difference between white folks and black folks. Amazing with the information she was able to provide the man, but real awkward on how she projects the information.

Viking funerals weren't on burning boats. Wouldn't have been hot enough to cremate bodies according to Ask a Mortified channel.

@Nyx773 9 месяцев назад

Ask a Mortician on the Wired channel said the same thing

@AirWindFire 5 месяцев назад

Was the purpose to cremate the body or the boat? So the remains are actually laid to rest in the sea? I don’t know much about Vikings, but I like the idea of being laid to rest at sea so you’re never stuck in one place forever.

What did they think was going to happen and the all white jury was a joke ...the whole South was a mess and in some cases , it still is.. cant imagine what these folks had to go thru and didnt live thru...

Sickening to hear about how the innocent African Americans suffered under the hands of " the law," back them. Makes me ashamed to be a human being.

@anythingandeverythingABCLife 10 месяцев назад

actually, it seems to be the whites that behaved so evil. there is another historical event where the whites segregated asians too. and then there's also the colonists that came to america and basically stole the land from native americans through violence

I've been able to get back into the 1500s in a few places in my family tree using Ancestry. I have even found documents pertaining to one of my family clans with records going back to 1200. The only place I'm having trouble with international records is in the Dutch line, apparently there was a very bad fire at some point and many many Dutch records were lost forever. It's very difficult to trace Dutch genealogy because of this. Other than that I have not really had any trouble accessing international records through Ancestry though I must admit my family is predominately Scottish and Irish so the records are all in English.

@Lisa-eo9gd 11 месяцев назад

@@Ali_D_Katt My guess is that, if you have documents, anyone who reads the language could help you translate. If I were in that situation, I would ask a foreign student at our nearby university. Best wishes!

Enjoyable but I'm confused. They took the first guy back to the 1500s but the Vikings settled earlier than that so he still could be Viking, right?

@sandybruce9092 4 месяца назад

It’s pretty hard to get real proof when you go back this many years or more. You are probably dealing with a language not English, plus hand written info in various places - church records, etc. It has also been proven that the Vikings did come to North America way before the 1500s.
