  • I'm related to a killer. My 5th cousin, Lizzie Borden, was an American woman who was tried and acquitted for the August 4th 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. She was never convicted of the crime, and the infamous case still remains a mystery today. Nobody knows who murdered her parents, but many still believe it was her. Watch the whole video until the end to find out the special announcement!

    As a Genealogist, I find this video fairly interesting. At first when you said fifth cousin I was like why would you make a video about this, that’s such a distant relation it doesn’t even really matter. But when you showed the line of relation I see how this may be of slight importance. Which makes me think, how from one perspective can a relation seem more legitimate then from a different perspective of the same relation to someone else. I mean it’s fair to say in this phrasing I’m related to Glenn Miller, were 13th cousins, but the line is not straight at all so it basically doesn’t matter. But if I were to say the same about a fifth cousin of mine, they’re about the same relation, and if they had any fame it would be something that I could claim and it wouldn’t sound utterly ridiculous. I looked further into such phenomena and it basically boils down to the relation through your main line of genetics or, in other words where your last name comes from. That seems to play an important role in how you see someone as a relation to you. Which is something that I’ve never thought about before, strange considering that this is the sort of stuff that I spend most of my time doing. Thanks for this enlightenment.

    You know it is common sense that basically anyone would have that same reaction in the courtroom if someone brought their parents remains in like that. I always thought it was very possible she didn't do it when 1st hearing about it a while back. If she didn't then it is extremely messed up she had this happen while grieving for her dad & step mom at the sametime. I know they said she didn't get along with her stepmother, but you can still grieve for someone you didn't get a long with. Also thanks for bringing up the morphine she took. That right there explains a lot.

      @@NashTheInsomniac cos i'm not quite sure, but when i search the internet, i saw that the japanese came to the parts where my family lived, so i think he probably got enslaved or help his people for the country's independence. And my grandfather worked for the government

    I'm related to a French man who really didn't want to go back to France when he was in Newfoundland during the time Britain and France were fighting over Canada. While they were sailing out of the harbour, he literally jumped overboard and swam back to shore. This honestly makes a lot sense that I'm related to someone like him.

    I'm related to her too. My great-grandmother was a Borden, so I don't carry the name. My family still lives near Fall River though, and I've visted her grave. The house where the Bordens lived is currently a bed and breakfast.
