I'm very proud of Grandpa and Jason for helping Verdi. I also thought the artwork they found in the attic was very nice.

Yes, really nice sketches. I’m guessing Ed Graves our Art Director did those. It seems like he did most of the art work we saw in various episodes.

I remember, very clearly, seeing this episode when it originally aired. I was in elementary school at the time. It made a huge impact on my thinking back then as a young child. I, being white and growing up in a white surrounding, was really jolted by this. This is my favorite episode. So glad you visited this episode today. I have been waiting to see you highlight it.

Perhaps more than any other film that I can think of, Mr Hamner and all the writers rang the bell time and again stressing the value of families and one's heritage. It's been written by several here that Walton's fans seem to fall into two camps: 1) those whose families were very much like the Walton's, and 2) those whose family ties and heritage were unfortunately not as strong. Many people are like Verdi researching their ancestors. Whatever one has experienced, it's good to begin with wherever you are and create as best family and friend relationships as you can. John, Sr and John Boy seemed often to include "outsiders" as welcome to the Walton's family. That extension of friendship at least to me is one reason I "attached" to the Walton's. I felt sure if I lived then and there we'd be friends. Judy, and everyone associated with The Walton's continue that charming inclusion to this day! How very sweet! ❤

Again & always beautifully said, Holly. I’m still amazed and moved by the caring and “charming inclusion” by all who were part of the series. Their care about each other & the audience is palpable and healing - including to wounds from today’s world - despite most of us never being in the same room! Also, as part of your point, the Walton neighbors are every bit a part of the “family”. They’re intrinsic to the feelings still created by the work, understanding and commitment of 50+ years ago.

My favorite scene in this episode is when Ms. Unwin shows some empathy for Verdi. Realizing there are 2 sides to every story. And is willing to sit down with Verdi if Verdi finds anything relating to her family. This episode showes that we all have value and to be sympathetic of others feelings as Grandpa pointed out.

One of the greatest blessings in life is being able to revisit cherished memories. Every morning, my mom and I sit down together to watch The Waltons, just like we did when I was a child in the '70s. In these moments, we're not just watching a show-we're reliving the lessons, the warmth, and the love that made those years so special. Now, more than ever, these mornings mean everything to us, reminding us of the simple joys and the importance of family. ❤ Thank you Judy Norton for sharing so much about The Waltons-your insights and stories make our mornings even more meaningful!

So happy that the show devoted a whole story line around Verdie, tracking down her family history. As mentioned in the episode not much in the way of records were stored based really on Verdie being a person of color. But the hard work of Jason and Verdie and a boost from grandpa it all paid off in the end. Wonderful ending to a great story line.

This is one of my favorite episodes. Perhaps because I am really into genealogy. It always bothered me that that picture of Verdi was off. It looks like a photo that was taken in the 1950s. If she was born in 1898, then matching up her age in the picture (if she’s one of the young girls) would have to have been taken before 1920. At that time photos would be taken in a studio or by a professional photographer. I’m not sure anyone would have had a camera to take their own photos to be developed like this one was. But you have spoken before about how timelines were sometimes off. But sketching was very popular among affluent, southern women at that time so I was pleased that they incorporated that into the storyline. I quite enjoyed this episode. Thank you for all the insights
@judynorton2598

As a genealogy enthusiast, I was intrigued by your synopsis of The Family Tree episode and desired to watch it. I found the episode free on Amazon and loved it. I enjoyed being able to pause and observe the birth and death records more closely. I'm glad Ms. Unwin's heart softened in the end. I wish we could have seen Ms. Unwin at least gift the sketch of Verdie's grandfather and great grandfather to Verdie. This would be a great treasure to Verdie. Again, I enjoyed being able to pause and examine the sketch more closely. I was also hoping to see the soldier's reaction when he saw Erin whose photo lured him to Walton's Mountain.

Twice when Olivia was speaking I could hear her voice echoing on the sound stage. Once at Ikes store and again when Olivia was at home on the stairs coming into the living room. As many times as I've seen that episode I had never heard that before. It seems like there is always some small thing I notice or hear when I rewatch these episodes. All of you were a part of something very special that is truly timeless.

So many interesting characters, aside from the main cast, that added another dimension to the show. One of them were Verdie & Harley. I've always loved it when an episode would specifically focus on them. Lynn & Hal's portrayal of them were believable & sublime.

Thank you for covering The Family Tree Judy. The first time I watched it, only a couple of years ago, tears welled up as soon as Verde and Jason approached the old plantation. Each Actor in this episode was impeccable and extraordinary. So believable from the setting to the performances, you just can't deny the intensity of the emotions provoked. Beautifully written from start to finish. Lynne Hamilton is undeniably a superstar. When she walks into the room, the whole mood adapts to hers. Thank you so much for your review, Judy. ❤❤❤👍👍👍

Since my late father went to a great deal of trouble to trace all our branches (including my mother's side) to ALL our respective Old Countries, I understood where Verdie was coming from in seeking out her roots. Interesting that it was spurred via her own father's passing but IIRC, when Verdie first appeared, she was a widowed mother of a grown daughter living with her unmarried sister- yet no mention of either her sister or daughter here (and oddly enough no sign of either of her adoptive sons with Harley) . Yes, it was frustrating to see folks being needlessly rude to Verdie who was merely asking for information. Thankfully, Grandpa had her back so even the rather bitter Miss Unwin couldn't snub Zeb! Interesting that it wasn't the dry written records that got preserved at the Unwins but the sketches depicting them as one of Miss Unwins's aunts had viewed the slaves who built their estate (and I imagine Miss Unwin's old gardener had quite a bit of history of his OWN and knew what was what re the Unwins). Anyway, Verdie got to see her African great-grandfather and her infant grandfather [who'd live to be a free man]. Of course, since the great-grandfather was holding his infant son and there was no companion or mother present, this begs the question of what might have become of her [could she have died in childbirth?]. Anyway, it was a very satisfying episode for me (and it had one of the best closing quips by Zeb when asked by [I think Elizabeth] if they could find their own family tree- to which Zeb quipped 'Find it? We LIVE in it!' ). Thanks for this!
@judynorton2598
@judynorton2598 2 месяца назад
How wonderful that your own family tree is so well documented thanks to your late father. Having Grandpa talk with Miss Unwin - another older person who had more understanding of history - likely helped sway her. I agree about the final Zeb quip. Priceless!

An interesting piece of filming on the set of the Waltons and all the history behind this episode. I enjoy the insight. The stories about the episodes show the importance of the greatness of the Waltons. One can feel how this show will echo deep into filming history and move forward, all at the same time, into the presence of showing and telling of what an incredible piece of filming art this show was and continues to be for generations to see and love. Blessing to you Judy.

At least grandpa didn’t say The War of Northern Aggression. As my family genealogist I have learned that my father’s maternal and likely paternal sides were slave owners. Once I flesh out more of the paternal line I will be posting whatever slave schedules I can find in an effort to make that information available to whoever may be seeking their history. I loved this episode.

I do genealogy, and this is one of my favorite episodes. When Verdie finds the drawing of her grandpa and great-grandpa and how she runs her hand on the drawing as if to comfort them . . . It's a heart-wrenching moment. Plus, her speech at the end when she's saying that someday her family will know their roots . . . I always get choked up watching it. Lynn Hamilton did an excellent job!

Thankyou Judy for another great behind the scenes Waltons story. When I saw this episode originally, it definitely had the Roots The Next Generation miniseries feel to it. Lynn Hamilton's performance as recurring character Verde never failed to disappoint. I would've loved if Lynn was made a regular on the series vise Rose and her two grandkids. She was already a series favorite and definitely with her wisdom, and love for the Walton family would've only made the series better.
@judynorton2598

What a great idea that would have been to have Verdie come help at the house regularly. We loved Peggy Rea who played Aunt Rose - but you’re right - the audience already knew and loved Lynn as Verdie as we all did as well.

That was such an emotional episode. To have Verdie look for her relatives and then find the picture of her great grandfather. Plus the episode taught all of us so much more about how the south viewed the Civil war, or the war between the states as they call it. Thanks for going through the episode with all of us.

Wonderful recap Judy. Thank you always for covering the details such as where something was filmed. 1) I'm not sure if you got my last set of questions but the big ones for me were how much time does a composer get to do music for an episode and is that done after editing (I would assume so) 2) How are the title cards done such as 'directed by' and who is responsible for those credit titles. I know nowadays its done digitally but back in the day I'm assuming it was very different. 3) Finally a new one. If you had to pick one thing (on the technical side) that was the hardest for you, what would it be? (in other words, the hot lights, the makeup, the reshoots, etc.) Thanks!
@judynorton2598
@judynorton2598 2 месяца назад
Not sure what the timeline was for a composer on each episode. Probably not long. As for title cards - my guess is they were created by the editor based on the list of credits provided for each episode. As for hardest to deal with… on hot days outside then under hot lights, not a lot of fun - but probably the worst was having to look into the lights and try not to squint :)

It’s fun seeing so many actors of the 60’s and 70’s on many different programs of that era. A good episode showing some of the realities of the 1940’s. Thanks for sharing. Mary

I remember the plot with Elizabeth and really enjoyed it. I'm wondering if this main plot with Verdi was tied to the mini series ROOTS, which was broadcast about this time. It was interesting to me that Verdi was excited to find her grandparent's graves. I knew 2 of my great-grandmothers and have written down some of my memories about them. I got a push from my daughter to write these and other stories, but my first encouragement came from a young man named John-Boy Walton. This series reminded us how impotant family, neighbors, and friends are and how very rich we are to have them. Thank you for your channel and keep up the good work.
