I’m African American and found a pedigree collapse of the “Whitehead” surname of Southampton, Virginia 3x in my family tree. I’m still combing through the records, but I learn it is most likely because I descend from free black people and there weren’t a lot of us in the early 1800s

@MediumDSpeaks Год назад

Wait so... all the way back? As in black people that came to the US and never had any involvement in the slave trade? Why are we not taught about this? I'm mostly Hispanic, but my paternal grandfather's paternal grandmother was a black Cuban woman in the 1800s so my connection to the triangle trade is different from people in the US, but still, I literally didn't even know until a few years ago until I sat down all my great aunts and grandparents to document as much of our history as possible, and since then I've been obsessed with our genealogy. It's very easy to find the documents that go back to Spain several hundred years ago before Cuba, but I'm still stuck with my great great grandmother and have no way to go much further back. Any advice?

@mellie4174 Год назад

Yes, there was a community of free African Americans who came over during the Jamestown and Williamsburg settled as indentured servants. After they had worked off their debt, they were freed and there's even documentation showing that there was relative equality between free black colonist and their socially equal counterparts as the society at that point was about class more than color. The population was not huge, but they had the same rights as free whites and socialized freely and mutually between groups until the latter part of the 17th century.

Me too. 158,000 ancestry matches and almost all are Puerto Rican. My husband only has 34k and my mom (non Hispanic) only has 28k. My husband is actually descended from a pretty isolated New England town and has plenty of pedigree collapse, but not as much as on my side, lol.

@chadst.pierre5257 2 года назад

I'm a full blooded French Canadian and I have found several pedigree collapses in both sides of my own family tree. By finding out that my parents are 9th cousins on several occasions on each side of my family tree. The families I found that both my parents have in common are the St. Pierre, Levesque, and Belanger family lines. Both of these families are on both sides of my family trees. And another connection I had found is that I am a descended through two men by the names of Jean Guyon and Zacherie Cloutier in several ways. Both men worked together in the building of the many colonial buildings in New France in the 17th century. But through Zacherie Cloutier I found that I am a descended through him through all five of his children spanning through both sides of my family tree from my dad and my mother.

I don’t recall those surnames in my tree (not all are finished) but my family comes from Acadia, Quebec and France.. Also German. But I’m just learning how the given name changes when they started making their way down to Louisiana and realized I’ve been butchering some names.

@loislewis5229 2 года назад

I noticed a lot of my common ancestors were inter marrying after a cousin gave me a book on the people of Åland (islands between Sweden and Finland) but I didn’t know it was called endogamy. I recently met up a 4th DNA cousin also from Åland but we haven’t found out how yet. Thanks to you, I now know why. My family goes back to 1633 in the Åland Islands.

@Chaotic_Pixie 2 года назад

Oh! I'm very excited to have a term for what occurs in my grandmother's grandmother's side of the tree. I can trace it back to colonial New England and I've got several double familial relations and multiple branches that criss-cross each other. I knew enough to know it wasn't all that weird given the low population of Europeans in 1600s and 1700s Mass/Connecticut but really have no clue how to explain it. Also glad my grandmother isn't alive and I don't have to explain this to her because when I think of having to tell her she wasn't as German as she thought she was is bad enough LoL

I don't descend from particularly endogamy-heavy communities, but my ancestors lived in small French villages so it did happened every now and then. So far I've found 2 pedigree collapse in my tree (within 7 generations), one from a 1st cousin marriage and the other one from a 2nd cousin marriage. Thank you from the great content as usual!

@DreaOnzagle 2 года назад

There is SO much endogamy going on in my family! We're from the Philippines and on a couple different branches of my tree my family's been in particular regions for at least 250 years. I have multiple double cousins and one who I'm related to in possibly 3 different ways... Luckily, if I manage to figure out who someone's ancestor is on one of those branches, it ends up being relatively easy to figure out how we're related.

@TheHopefulchild 2 года назад

I used to help go through old records, marriage ones as well as others, it was part of a process that help get records online to help people with their family history research, I was surprised to see how often widows/widowers would marry close relatives of their late spouses this would be another you would get descendants related in multiple ways.

I noticed while I was researching on geni, I looked at someone I knew I was decended from on my dad's side and showed me how I was related to them on my mom's side (like 15th cousins). The thing is I think there might be a closer ancestor, but brick walls prevent me from finding out.

@loworochi 2 года назад

Actually I do remember my parents saying that they were very distant cousins. They’re from Somalia and are from the same tribe. Names are done by lineage (so child name, father name, grandfather name, so on and so forth), when I traced down with my grandmothers name (moms side) and my dads name there’s a common ancestor sometime down the line. But what would happen if I got with someone from a totally different place like Asia, Europe, etc? I assume we’d still be related but far more different compared to my parents.

@craigistheman101 2 года назад

It would be more distant/ancient and records may not even exist to prove it. But at some point in history y’all would still share an ancestor. Maybe it was an trader on the Silk Road 🤷🏽‍♂️

French Canadian here. I can find at least 56 different ways that I'm related to Zacharie Cloutier, an early settler in Canada. (I say at least because my 3rd great grandmother was adopted and given the statistics she must be descended from him in half a dozen ways...). Pretty much half the people in my tree had a marriage dispensation to marry their third or fourth cousins. It is said Cloutier is a common ancestor to over 95% of French Canadians alive today. (Statistically speaking)

Anne Cloutier (daughter of Zacharie Cloutier, and married to Robert Drouin), also one of her brothers is an ancestor of my great grandfather Michel Vasher (who married Catherine Livernois (1860-1900)) They we're 7th cousins once removed. There may be other instances where I am descended from the same ancestor more than once. (Google broke off previous reply.

Then there’s the Irish confusing double cousins on my mom’s side from the early 1800s. A pair of brothers married a pair of sisters. When both had their first sons, both boys received their mother’s maiden name as their first name. On several trees, nobody keeps an eye on sorting this out.

@weepingscorpion8739 2 года назад

Yes, I do come from an endogamous region: The Faroe Islands. My parents are 6th or 7th cousins but I think it's 2 or 3 times over. I haven't done DNA testing yet but I get more and more tempted every day, so one of these days, I will do one. Now, a question if I may: Based on 1) that my genealogy work's suggestion that all my ancestry will be Nordic/Scandinavian with a few lines going into Nothern Germany and maybe some Slavic areas (these are just hints, I have no proof yet) and 2) that studies suggest that the Faroese male DNA is around 87% Nordic and Faroese female DNA is around 84% Gaelic (so British Isles), is there any DNA test that is particularly advantageous for me to take or will taking more than one be a better solution? Thanks, and keep up the good work.

@GeneaVlogger 2 года назад

It depends on what you are looking for from the DNA test. My focus is always genealogy and finding genetic matches, so if this is also your focus then Ancestry would likely be a good place to start because it has the largest database but you would want to get into all of the databases for the best results (more databases equals more matches). In my experience, MyHeritage is a good place to start if you are looking to connect with relatives in Europe because they seem to have larger numbers of European based testers overall -especially in Eastern Europe and Slavic countries) - although MyHeritage also allows uploads from other websites. If your goal with DNA testing is just for the ethnicity admixture, that is a lot harder to answer because all the tests will give you slightly different results that basically say the same thing. Your only advantage is companies who offer some form of Genetic Communities, where they tell you more specific communities to which you have a likely familial connection. Ancestry, MyHeritage, and 23andMe all offer these - but MyHeritage is the only one of these three that allows uploads.

@weepingscorpion8739 2 года назад

@@GeneaVlogger Yeah, I figured that my question was probably a bit vague. I have traced my family tree several centuries back and I can at least document about all my 2nd and fairly close to all my 3rd cousins as is even if I personally don't know them all so I think I'm more looking to confirm whether my 200-300 year old link to some areas outside the Nordic area actually exists or not. So, thanks for your answer, and I think I will be looking at either ancestry or 23andMe and then maybe also uploading those results to MyHeritage. Again, thanks.

There is a common joke that every second person is called Bruce in Australia. This is because a free settler in the Sydney colony financed other people from fife Scotland to come to the colony as skilled free settlers. He turned the convict settlement into a city. He brought out wheelwrights, saddlers, potters, lace makers, etc all with the surname bruce. In Fife almost everyone is in the bruce family. [Its not a clan in the Scottish sense because it predates the clan system. ] So there was an area of Sydney, just north of central station and Hay market, that was populated with over a hundred people named bruce. I'm not sure what this selection process is called but it resulted in a lot of closely related people ending up in Sydney. To this day we do not know who was funding the operation back in fife but they had deep pockets.

One endogamous population was the one of the island of Menorca, of which a part would immigrate to Algeria after it was colonised by the French and constitute a really big part of the European population in Algeria. If you have at least one ancester from Menorca, you should be linked to pretty much all of these people in Algeria, and their descendants who mostly immigrated to France after Algeria's independence in 1962.

As I'm from a rather isolated region (Finland) that also kept good records for many hundreds of years many of my family trees can be traced back quite far. Already ~300-400 years back I start encountering some names that 2 of my grandparents have in common for example. The oldest recorded Finnish ancestry I can trace (about 600-700 years back) consists of individuals that ALL my grandparents have in common. In a couple traceable lines I also encounter nobility around year 1600, and being European nobility... well from there you trace right back to the royal lines and all the royal lines intermarried for so long that you can follow your ancestry in those lines for millennia. As you explain, that's not exactly unique. Practically everybody else is also related to these individuals nearly a thousand years back or more, but I still find it fascinating to be able to trace the unbroken line generation by generation from some nobody like myself to men like Harald Bluetooth or Yaroslav the Wise that lived a thousand years before I was even born.

I did an ancestry dna test but about 4000 matches unfortunately not to many have tested in my (extended) family but I can connect to people who live in the US on my mothers side who I have a common ancestor with around 1750 and further away also a little closer in 1833.

Elvis Presley is one who has a double first cousin, as his Father and his brother both married a pair of sisters. Hope that makes sense lol Very interesting, I knew a bunch of Americans descend from King John.. I just didn't realize how prolific it was. It isn't rare at all, and anyone who you view as bragging on being royal descent is probably a cousin, and also a descendant of King John... they just don't know it. I also found alot of marriages based on class. I found alot of great grandfather county sheriffs in England as intermarrying within the families of other county sheriffs. Rich merchant families married other merchant's children. It went all up and down the class system, but their were always people who married a bit lower or higher in class up to Royals, Dukes, etc. Most of us(commoners) it seems come from sisters or younger brothers of the people who inherited. The ones who inherited titles or came from the elder male lines are still living in castles, and "in power" today. Thanks!!

@stephenderry9488 2 года назад

Spot on. History only pays attention to first-borns and the male line, but younger sons and daughters, not to mention illegitimate children were often forced to cast a wider net in life. They were more likely to join the army or merchant navy, more likely to emigrate or step down a class. And of course their children then spread the same genes further and wider.

My mom was from Ireland and from a specific region in County Kerry where the same X number of families intermarried over and over again.

Excellent video. If we watch it several times, shouldn't we be able to 'Like' it a few times? My Grandmother's sister married my Grandfather's brother at the same ceremony. They did that to save money they said, as if attraction didn't play a role. Their joke. A woman baptized in 1692 married her Father's son from a first marriage. He was much much older than her. He died soon. She even had 2 children with him, her half brother.. unless it was a mistake in the research of a genealogist. She married again. Her husband wasn't so old but after 5 more kids had been born, he also died. So she married a third time and low and behold, she had a 14th male son who launched our family into being. That Margarethe had to make the effort to give birth to an amazing 14 children to get us into the world. Her last husband married again after her death. So we are related to all of the children from all of their multiple marriages. That gets tricky and then you are related to everyone in town and everyone from sea to shining sea.

Great video, I shared it with a group as well. For the endogamy mentioned at the end concerning Cuba. Although it's an island, I'm not sure to what degree it's endogamous. I'd imagine there'd be pockets of that but I could not be sure to what extent. But we're looking at people from different locations in Spain, including the Canary Islands, across centuries, plus other European countries in smaller numbers, and Africans in large numbers, to name the most prominent ones. But then there were levels of society with different classes, with those that kept within their groups and those that did not. There was also immigration from the US into the island and immigration from the Americas broadly, though at lower numbers in both accounts. Within those groups, there must have been endogamy prior to arrival, such as Canary Islanders but not limited to that. I'm not sure to what extent endogamy would be considered predominant enough to merit the classification, but I'm not discounting it either. The native aspect which some studies have been done on, mention migration from the Americas briefly, but they under value the importance. The Native Cuban population did not survive those early years of European expansion, and this was also mentioned in some studies. The average native markers found in lower amounts are likely from the Americas into Cuba and perhaps from the original islanders, maybe. At this point we are looking at over 500 years of peoples populating the island at different times and from various parts of the world. Currently the population on the island is about 11 million, so it's a fair amount of people but not the largest population on the planet. Just food for thought concerning Cuba, there are other considerations I left out. I'm neither for of against any of it either way, but I wrote this for clarity, Great video!

On my dad's side, my great-grandfather and his brother married a pair of sisters. The same thing happened on my mother's side: my great-grandfather married a woman whose brother married his sister. There would have been one more of these unions on my mother's side, but the groom-to-be was killed while serving in Italy during WWII.

My mother's line were the original families of Virginia. Thus, I am a 5th Great Granddaughter of PATRICK HENRY "Give me Liberty or Give me Death". Since the Colonies were a small population the families are all interconnected. Recently, I found also a connection to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Doing genealogy for a long time and having researched over 70,000 links to my tree as of this date I am related to everyone!!!! My father's line were Prussian Jews that came to Baltimore, Maryland in 1850 and went West, they were the Pioneer Jews of Utah. I have my DNA on two sites and this gives me new Cousins daily. Genealogy is a review of history of your relatives. How and where we get to is simply amazing.

Thanks for that. My family has many intermarriages. Just a small mention- my paternal grandparents- including my grandparents two females and two males from each family married each other, my grandparents and one other couple had 11 and 9 children, three sons of one side married three daughters of the other couple. John Hicks married Salley Seller, four children Mary Hannah, George, Richard and Sarah, Thomas Sleep married Elizabeth Nancarrow, their four John Henry, Edith, Beatrice and Alfred. In order is whom married whom. Then two first of each family are the two who married and three children married each other Hicks- Clarence, Les and Jack married Ivy, Eunice and Elsie. Cornish heritage with Aussie Methodist dripping (lots of)

Area I lived where I had my earliest memories in SW MOntana (Madison County) basically covers two river valleys, the Madison and the Ruby. My dad's family was a pioneer family on the Ruby, and in fact m paternal grandma, as well as my dad's boots, chaps, and saddle are in the Virginia City historical museum LOL. My mother's mother's family was also a pioneer family, but in the Madison River Valley (on the Madison as we used to say). When my mom died in 94, I took her ashes back to be buried next to my dad, who's buried in a cemetery in the Ruby Valley (town of Sheridan). My cousin on my dad's side was with me the night I met with the mortician for him to fill out the info for mom's interment, and cousin Audrey talked about my dad's family's history (her mom was his younger sister), and I learned a lot that night abt my dad's family I hadn't known before. After the moritician filled out al lthe info from my mom's death certificate, he asked me where she was born, her maiden name, her father's name, and her mother's maiden name. Now my maternal grandpa was an only child, who'd moved to the area form Colorado, when he met and married my grandma (he was a cowboy riding trail herd, she was a schoolmarm--the classic western movie cliche). When the mortician heard my grandma's maiden name, he slapped his desk and said, "Damn! You DO have roots here! I told him, "I tell all my friends I'm related to half the county." (Our family moved to California in the mid 60s). His reply? "Half the county, hell! You're related to 90% of it!" So, yeah, I heard what you're saying about "pedigree collapse". LOL Oh, and this is all in 3 generations on my dad's side and 4 on my mom's.

Back during the print everything out on charts days, I covered my entire 20x15 foot living room floor in overlapping pages of small print genealogy chart lines... Then I had colored string to tie together the endogamy I found in Norman England and pre France for a few hundred years in just two lines- so I didn't have to print duplicate pages backwards from that point for each and cover even MORE floorspace. I found of course that, other than a few dead end family or mother lines in research, they kept getting closer and closer to the key well documented family lines in Europe... Because THOSE LINES WERE THE ONES THAT SURVIVED WELL. 💁 And in looking sideways and down in many European lines over time I noted that VERY FEW other lines from siblings of my direct ancestors continued down past bottleneck points like plagues or mass warfare or severe food/weather crisis... and more than a few with status and means died out seemingly from no living children- and I do wonder if that was from further endogamy in Euro-stayed lines vs the lines that cross-pollinated with new lines in the US 🤔

I only have 30 great-great-great-grandparents (at least as far as I know) since my grandparents were 2nd cousins. His mom & her dad were 1st cousins, and their dads were brothers. I have 2nd cousins on the other side of my family who are double cousins (or in their case 1 1/2-x cousins, since their mothers had different biological fathers). I also have great-great-grandparents on that side of the family who were, if I am reading correctly, 3rd cousins once removed. I am unaware of how closely my parents were related, but since they both had mostly English ancestry, they are not too far apart.

I'm from a part that was rumored to have lots of pedigree collapse. I've done some genealogy and om back at least 6 generations all ways up, and sure many live in the same neighborhood but the only collapse i've found is two brothers marring two sisters but since i'm only directly related to one of those brothers it doesn't give any collapse for me. But just because a mother if married to a man he doesn't have do be the father and going some generations up that may occure.

@DieezahArts 2 года назад

That's not what pedigree collapse is. Two brothers marrying two sisters is only a small part of what was described here in this video. And that's the double cousin phenomenon. If any people from a small place marry other people from the same place generations after generations, which is what we call endogamy, chances are some of these people end-up marrying cousins (even without knowing if they are distant cousins who are so distantly related they never heard of the possible connexion) and when these married cousins have kids, there you have your pedigree collapse! You may not spot such things easily in your family tree. It's easy to miss, especially if some first cousin of your great-grandfather or great-grandmother somehow vanished from the known accounts regarding family history (for various reasons like family disputes, went to war and never came back, leaving a wife and kids at home who had zero interactions with your own branch of the family...). There may be an entire line stemming from that individual who shares a direct ancestor with your grandma or grandpa and you can't see it. More difficult even when for some reason the usual way family names are passed down hasn't been applying.

@AncestryNerd 2 года назад

If there are family rumors of pedigree collapse, you may want to take a DNA test and create a DNA verified tree. It sounds like maybe someone had a baby with someone they were “not supposed” to have a baby with... this wouldn’t necessarily show up in marriage and birth records. In genealogy this is called a NPE. I found that family rumors tend to be true but the secret details won’t be in the paperwork... For example, my great aunts son was her step son and that son married my great aunts nephews wife’s ... sometimes the “parents” are the real parents

@DieezahArts 2 года назад

I would assume people from Caribbean islands like Martinique, Guadeloupe and Saint Lucia are endogamous populations... The thing that makes matters more complicated is that the people living in these spaces have either been displaced or have migrated a lot across the entire region (the Americas) over the transatlantic slave trade era and the centuries that followed. So we find DNA matches (some of them close) with a lot of people from other islands, South America, the U.S. and Canada. It's almost as if there's a wider pocket for that endogamy within which each particular island from the region has developed another level of endogamy, if that makes sense. Endogamy at a regional level and at island level. There are several cases of double cousins in my paternal family. Several brothers/sisters of my paternal grandmother and grandfather got married and my own paternal aunt's ended-up in a situation that always turns my brain upsidedown. Aunt A married Dude A who had a sister I will call sister J. Aunt K married Dude K who has brothers. Dude K's brother married sister J. So my aunt's children are my first cousins (no confusion here) but they're also first cousins with sister J's kids (who aren't my cousins). The most confusing part is that Dude K's mom is the maternal aunt of... one of the rare first cousins of my dad and aunt's who isn't a double first cousin. So my aunt K's husband is first cousin with my aunt K's paternal first cousin JC and his siblings... 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Moving on... My dad, myself and one of my children got our DNA tested and one of my dad's double cousin's kid (I wasn't in contact with until 2 years ago) did too. Unsurprisingly, the various platforms we uploaded to matched us as estimated first cousins in most cases. That's double cousins for you...

Yeah, my mother's West Virginia family is highly endogamous. Plus, her mother and her mother's sister married two brothers, so their kids are double first cousins. Now technically, my grandmother's sister was her half-sister, but their fathers were full brothers as well, so they still had all the same grandparents. DNA testing shows the daughter of one of my mom's double first cousins as having a 1st to 2nd cousin predicted relationship to me, which is definitely closer than our actual genealogical relationship. And someone on my maternal grandfather's side of the family whose actual relationship to me is not known shows up as more closely related to me than my half-first cousin on my dad's side, the son of my dad's half-brother. Some of it all comes down to the way DNA has recombined in each of us, but much of it on my mom's side is straight up endogamy.

I do have a cousin in Britain we can't figure out exactly how. But because of my grandmother's (eldest child) paternity differs from that of her siblings, on my side it's narrowed down to a Scottish-Irish family as he matches also with people from that family, who in America also practiced endogamy (I found it in the trees.. money related LOL) up until someone had the "idea" to be with a black woman and expanded gene pool. That being said we appear quite closely related but cannot be in the few generations that DNA would suggest. He told me already that the European branch that lives in the UK is originally Irish and Scottish, and we have matches in Canada and the US
