WWAW the Finding Your Roots?

[JoeCumiaDotCom]

That PBS show where celebs go on and learn about their ancestors from archived records and DNA analysis. I think it's interesting as fuck. One of the funniest episodes is when Seth Meyers found out his grandparents were first cousins. I want to see Nana on there.

"Anthony, we discovered that your great great great great great grandfather was a black man by the name of Klikklik Kumiabongo."

The Sony hack revealed that Ben Affleck wanted his slave owning ancestors kept out of his episode.

Also, you wouldn't have to go that far in Nana's tree to find a Kumiabongo. You got that far back, Nana's ancestors were swinging from the family tree.

Forget first cousins, the Cumias are siblings

Didn't Ben Afflecks family own a bunch of slaves

Dr. Phil's family also owned slaves and one of his great grandfathers was mmmmurded by one of his slaves.

The McGraw have been faggots for generations. No surprises there.

Yep. And he cried about it after.

Honestly, I'd love to know more about my familial past. There had to be one or two of us who weren't junkie fuckups with mental illnesses I can be proud of.

Historically, the Tomlinson family name is associated with owning a shit load of slaves. If Fatty was on the show it would be like.

"Patrick, we discovered that your 4th great grandfather, a man by the name of Augustus Tomlinson was a slave owner who owned over 25 men, women, & children who were forced to work on his pepperoni plantation. How's that make you feel?"

"No, child. You didn't. No, child. He wasn't. No, child. He didn't. And no, child. They didn't."

My family doesnt keep enough records for me to ever know. Growing up, my dads family didnt even own a video camera. No footage exists of them, and this was the 70s and 80s at that point. Somewhat recently, my grandmom found out that her grandfather died in WW1 when they found his letters up in the attic. It was a fascinating discovery, yet she acted like she didnt even care. She didnt even know her own brother fought in Korea until like 20 years ago. I swear they’re all autists and Im pretty sure my posts on Owen A will be my only legacy because these ingrates will no doubt forget me soon as Im gone

My dad did a deep dive a few years ago. His father (so my family name) was descended from middling landowners who can be traced back to at least the 12th century in England. His mother, one of my grandmother's, was an American of German and Scots-Irish parentage, hard-working, joyless Protestants who considered smiling a sin and moved to America at different points in the 1800s. Don't know much about my mother's family except they owned a farm and my mother and her brother were the first in their family to leave and go to college.

One of my ancestors who came to America was the only one out of 12 children to survive into adulthood. 19th century was fawkin brutal.

I would never submit my DNA to a database. Just in case I ever murder someone, however if Nana ever did do it, and I'm not joking, he'd come back with north African blood

Would be fawking awesome to see Anth get his dna checked and learn his family background. With how talented brother Joe and AntH are with music and comedy I wouldn't be surprised if their ancestors were court jesters for the kings of africa.

I’m my family’s self-appointed genealogist (and reigning Autism champion 42 years running), and that show is my go-to for long flights. I find it interesting and well done.
