    In this episode, Dr. Trish discusses the aftermath when families discover embarrassing situations or controversial individuals in their family trees. Will Smith's father admitted he had anger issues and regrets. Could that be the explanation to Will's behavior? Dr. Trish also shares a shocking discovery from her own family tree and discusses how descendants of Hitler and his associates cope with having monsters in their family history.

    I am an African man from a very old noble family. I've been documenting and preserving our family history and genealogy for almost 30 years, taking over from my late uncle - a renowned historian of his day. Whilst conducting my research, I came upon the fact that, on my father's side, a relative of my ancestor was a renowned Muslim jihadist and slave trader in the mid-19th century. His name was Maba Diakhou Ba. He is still respected in the Senegambia region for being a Muslim leader and his alleged anti colonialism (which is disputable) and celebrated today. I have spent most of my adult life revealing his slave raiding activities and have received condemnation and insults from the Muslim Brotherhoods of Senegal. Maba would, of course, be killed in 1867 by my ancestor's relative (the King of Siin, Kumba Ndoofeen fa Maak Joof) when he tried to inflict jihad against the people of Siin. On my mother's side, I also found out that one of my direct ancestors was a slaver. He was raised by this same Maba Diakhou after his father was imprisoned by Maba before finally forced to exile. His son (my direct ancestor) was raised by Maba as a little boy, and he became a general in his army as well as slaver, thought to him by the Ba family. I also chose to expose it as he, too, was a notable figure because it is important to educate the young about our dark history. It is important to reveal certain secrets, especially if they were notable and their actions affected many.

      You started with noble but they were not able. I am too a descendant of Senegal Gambia slave trade. My GGG Grandpfather was enslaved with his parents in the year of his birth 1808 and taken first to Barbados then sold to the estate of Jefferson Davis elder brother then Jefferson Davis plantation. He died in 1929 at the age of 121. There is a strong chance we are kin .

      @@monta247 Hello, it is probable that we are relatives. The Senegambia region (specifically Senegal and Gambia is pretty small). My DNA results came up as 100% Senegal. I think "Senegambia" would perhaps be more geograpically, historically, and culturally appropriate because present day Gambia is right inside present day Senegal, and the people are the same. Our ancestors used to live in kingdoms. I was not surprised by the results, because I already knew this through my own years of research. I decided to make my results public in order to connect with distant relatives from the Diaspora, and I have several relatives from the US including from the Louisiana area. I'm more knowledgable about history and genealogy, than about DNA, and want to do anything I can to help relatives from the Diaspora connect with their African lineage. However, with a result like 100% Senegal, I'm finding it difficult to figure out from which branch of my family I'm related to many of my cousins in America. I know that the descendants of Anta Majigeen Njie (known in the New World as Anna Kingsley) are related to me through my father's side of the family (she was a cousin of my father's direct ancestor, and they both trace descent to Njaajaan Njie). As for the other relatives, I'm finding it difficult to trace which line of the family we are related because many of them have not done their own genealogy and do not know much about their ancestor who might have been taken from the Senegambia and the time period - to help me at least apply my knowledge of history of the region and my own family and determine the possible relation and dig a bit deeper. The history of my family is well documented and preserved because of their positions in society. Documented and preserved by our own family, the griots, the Europeans and the Arabo-Berber chronologists who interacted with them, etc. Therefore, it was much easier for me, but I appeciate that not everyone is that fortunate. Yes, I still had to do the leg work and years of painstaking research, but I appreciate that I started with an advantage. As any genealogist would tell you, you always start with yourself - what you already know, then interview the elders and then check the paperwork and see how it ties with the oral tradition. I had done that for years and interviewed many elders most of whom have passed on decades ago. I've alwasy been a nosy kid and preferred the company of elderly people than those of my age group. Thus, when it was time to cross reference it with the official records, it became much easier, couple with the fact that my late uncle had been documenting our family history for decades before he passed away at the age of 87. Another uncle had also been doing the same. I used to record every single detail when I used to interview elders, no matter how unimportant they may appear. What I found was that, those small details would years later open the door to other branches of the family and/or provided clarity. They might not have been important when I first recorded them all those years ago, but their importance would be evident years later, and I would go back to my old notes, old audio and video interviews and they open up a whole new world of information, at least as I have found. I always used to carry my dictaphone everywhere I went. Sometimes, real information would come out when it is less formal and they are simply chatting to you or other elderly relatives about family relations than when it is a formal one to one sit down interview. Recorded formally interviews can be nerve wracking no matter how much they know you, and as the interviewer/researcher you have to factor that in, and as the one thirsty for knowledge, you must employ every appropriate strategy to get the information out of them.

    My mother's side is from Louisiana. So realistically I knew the possibility of slave trafficking ancestors to be a very real reality. However when I was faced with digging up an actual bill of sale for slaves. I was disgusted! It was uncomfortable to be faced with such a tangible remnant of the horror of slavery, in relation to my own family line. But at the same time it has to be faced, and recognized as the very real reality of this country.

      None of us our responsible for what ancestors did. Whether there are records or not, we are all descendants of good and evil people. Learn from the past but do not beat up others over a past they had nothing to do with.
      From my mom’s side we have not found any evidence of owning or being enslaved. We were only able to search my dad’s side back to his great grandparents in Europe. Considering my genetic ancestry I quite likely have Scandinavian ancestors from that side that used to go “a viking”. Oh dear! Good chance of having ancestors that had slaves and sold slaves. They would have been white. Even if some weren’t, why should I be ashamed or feel guilt? Slavery was big elsewhere long before.
      We have five parts of the world who have been arguing over who was “first” for a long time. China, India, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Sub-Saharan Africa. It is quite clear now that neither Europe nor the Americas are in the running. Oh, sorry, I forgot that Turkey has been added to the throng. It looks like grain farming may have started there. One thing we know most had is slavery in one form or another.
      Rather than blame the past they should be blaming current slave owners and slave traders. Before Covid and before Biden practically opened our borders there was an estimated 50,000 slaves in the USA. Per an international anti-slavery organization. What they call “human trafficking” covers up the slavery going on. We, as usual, are not the worst. But we are not doing anything about it here.

    Don't feel bad! On my Mother's side I am related to the same couple from the 1600's in New France (ie Quebec) 4 times. That's twice on my maternal grandmother 's side and twice on grandpa 's side. Grandma's last name did not change when she got married. I don't have a tree, I have a stick!
    On the flip side I do have a lot of famous relatives including Madonna, Celine Dion, Beyonce, Queen Consort Camilla and Hillary Clinton. It's so intense. Our common ancestor owned one of the first 3 violins in North America. Oh, and I am related to Justin Trudeau and Justin Bieber, so not bad.

    I have found that every Family tree has nuts on it however I believe their mistakes should not be repeated by following generations. It is sad when family members deny issues such as incest, adultry, fornication, behavioral issues etc because these 'pop up' among many relatives and tend to create havoc within the family and society as well. I feel I should not repeat the negative behaviors of my ancestors. Congratulations on an excellent job of researching the Geneology of these famous individuals.

    From researching a DNA match, I discovered that my grandfather had a daughter with his adult niece who already had a son out-of-wedlock the prior year. I never told the lady that I figured out who her father was. I offered to help her if she wanted to figure it out, but she didn't take me up on that offer, and she has since passed away. I have not told anyone in my family about this case of incest.

      Interesting this. I found something similar too. Relatives I personally don't know, but we share my great-grandfather. One of his sons married the daughter of his half-sister, the eldest daughter of my great-grandfather. Cousins married cousins too, from what I learned. However, this is the only case of an uncle marrying a niece from what I could gather.
      I am working on documenting the family tree. I fortunately found a reliable source - the last living son of my great-grandfather. He is turning 104 this year.

    This is a really good piece of work. I can tell that so much research went into this… from the biblical genealogy to everything else.
    I think I may have come to the end of anymore discoveries about my biological family. After finding my bio mom, she is still ashamed that she had a baby with a married man and doesn’t want to share any info with family that reach out from her side of the family. After being lied to about even being adopted and finding out my suspicions were true through Ancestry… it was more than I could bare. I began to see myself as her rejected, unwanted child and spend part of 2020/2021 having identity crisis and being angry that I was being asked to keep her secret… at my expense. Ultimately I have chosen to let go of the anger and remind myself that my identity is found in Christ…it’s not worth it to hold on to it… it still hurts but I can extend mercy and grace because God extended it to me. There are so many hurting people on Ancestry… especially women… looking for their fathers. I personally have about 4 cousins looking to either find out who their father is or where he is. Sad

    My G grandfather we affectionately call `The Old Fibber`, because he wanted to meet and marry a beautiful Catholic girl he had seen. This was in the 1800`s and even getting her to talk to him was going to be an impossibility. So he went off and changed his last name to Fitzgerald, and learned enough to convince this girl and her parents that he was a Catholic. They married and had 4 children at which point she found his Protestant bible, and in a fit of peak, she burned it, along with all the genealogy which was written in the good book. I love that old guy, whom I never met, precisely because he was a colourful interesting man amongst more obedient types. Thanks for letting me share.

It is also important to have a sense of humor about people in one`s future, because one has no control over anyone else but one`s self.

    Oh, I have one. My dad's father, my grandfather. I knew he was an alcoholic and we had very little contact with him. I think I saw him twice, once really close to when he passed away. I also know the man had a fierce temper. My grandmother was separated from him for the entire time I knew. I knew she did that because of his actions, because of his drinking and fighting.
    Well, when I got to digging on that side, I found a notation in some records that he had been sent to prison for manslaughter. WHAT?????? That is something I never, ever heard. I had to do some real detective work because this was 1928. Records are in storage and people with the key are not really inclined to go get them for me. I finally found a source for the little town where he was born's newspaper and began to dig again. I got a name of the man he killed and the story. Yep, he did it.
    Evidently, his sister's husband hit her. Her brothers caught the guy out in the road in town and a verbal fight started. My grandfather, the family hot-head, took off, went home, grabbed a gun, and shot the man down in the middle of town in the street. The Find-a-Grave of the man killed has the story as well. I'm kind of surprised they tried him for manslaughter and not for murder, but maybe what started the fight was taken into consideration.
    He did his time, and came out, getting married to his first wife, having 3 children. Then they divorced and he married my grandmother, who had a child (I'm still not sure on this part of the history). They then had 4 more children, my father the eldest. We have never talked about it and my father's in no shape to hear this one, although I imagine he knew. One of my half-cousins, the daughter of one of the first set of children of my grandfather, has asked to have a link to the tree and I'm going to give it to her. She needs to know. None of us kids have followed that path, none of his children and none of the many grandchildren. I know think any of us even have a record for anything else. We both carry the name as our maiden name.
    This was a surprise to me, but all that info, the stories in the paper, the link to the Find-A-Grave, and the story are all in my file in Ancestry. Not to shame anyone, but maybe as a cautionary tale.

I hope it's something that people don't dwell on too negatively when doing their research.

    Funny, sometime last week I was thinking about this... seeing it from a spiritual point of view, I'm understanding that I wasn't supposed to look into my DNA.
    A few years back, I was contacted by a German woman that wanted to know my connection to her father (we're like fourth cousins). Neither her father nor I, have ever met our biological fathers... so, I told her I was just as puzzled.
    She went on to inform me that her father's mother only told him that his bio-father was a Nazi soldier.😳
    Imagine hearing that kind of news! I can only hope that it was said to him in an ugly way.
    To this day, I still don't know how to process this info as, I don't know if it falls on my mother's side or my bio-father's.🤷
    I've stopped having any more interest in DNA/family tree... I don't know that I can handle being related to Mussolini or some other shady character. I believe now I understand why I couldn't have children.
    I don't know if I'd be that bold to have sterilized myself, as some of these people did... can't judged them, tough choice.

      I would be curious, but as a historian, it's my nature I think. You may not have a really close connection to the actual Nazi legacy. Many soldiers were conscripts and most didn't know about the very evil parts of what the upper echelon was doing. Their lives were ruined in having to fight. Many hid the information, migrating to other places. Some stayed but kept it quiet. Soldiers who are drafted into militaries that are at war all do things they don't want to do, but we don't hold all responsible for the actions of those who led the armies. If you are old enough to remember the Vietnam war, not all soldiers were guilty of atrocities like My Lai. They went, did what they were told to do, and came home. It's a sad thing for them, but, unless there's a record of atrocities, they are just men (and women) who did their duty.

    I wasn't surprised by Will Smith's behavior. The problems he had with his wife I understand were great; she just didn't love him. It was too hard for him to just stand by and listen to someone berate her. She may not have loved him, but he seemed to loved her. I expect he thought slapping Chris Rock would show her just how much he truly cared for her, and maybe she would see that their relationship was worth saving. Sadly, it backfired, and the hippocrites of Hollywood blacklisted him. Shame on them for doing that!!!!

    My mom and her brother and my bio dad helped to scrap up money. Mind you my mom was pregnant with her first child while burying a mother her children would never see.
    During the funeral services, the funeral home made a lot of bad mistakes. Like really bad.
    Casket cracked while being placed 6 ft under. Things shifted while dirt being placed on casket. Casket fell. 😢 Anyhoo!
    My point is, I found an old lawsuit during my research. My mom's uncle, my grandmother's brother told my mom he would take the funeral home to court for her.
    I saw he did and only named himself as the plaintiff on the lawsuit and another uncle. They got $20,000 I believe and my mom didn't know until I told her. This was in the 80s this funeral happened. I found this out in my teen yrs early 2000s.

    The only skeleton that's been revealed with my DNA test was regarding the twins my grandmother gave up for adoption before my mother was born. A half first cousin that matched me on Ancestry reached out to me. The family story had always been that Grandma had the twins while in high school and her mother made her put them up for adoption after a short time. In reality, she was already over 18 when they were born, and it appears my Grandfather (not theirs) was the one who pressured her into putting the boys up for adoption, promising they would start their own family with an empty house. My mom ended up speaking to this cousin on the phone and it did not go well. Both of my mom's parents had died by this time, so nobody got answers they were looking for.

It's in every family (some talk about it, others hide) . I suspect incest occasionally too😳😟... Looking back at some familial trates in my own family...

    We’ve often wondered what happened too my mom and her sisters. Cause we the cousins would get together and realize the mothers were only aggressive with their daughters. The boys all got treated like princes. Where as the girls took the majority of the mothers’ wrath. Me I was lucky enough to have 3 sisters, so it all wasn’t against me. I received a lot more hate from my mom cause I’m my fathers’ twin! But my 2 female cousins have no sisters, so they took a lot of crap from their mom. We as the children of these mothers, decided that one we wouldn’t treat our kids differently or abuse them. Also we also decided that our sibling groups would be a lot stronger, so would our cousins bond. We refuse too be like our moms. There were 2 of 5 sisters left, and those two HATED each other. It wasn’t til one of them died that the surviving sister said “I hope y’all know I really did love my sister. We just couldn’t get pass some things in the past.”

    I’m from West Virginia. I’ve been tempted to do an ancestry test because there’s an oral history of Native American on my father’s side and also because I’ve had so many people comment that I must have black somewhere in my history because of my figure and some features. I’m scared to do a test though because I know there are going to be a lot of overlapping lines on there. Our state was so isolated for a long time because of the mountains that basically our whole county is related. I’m scared that my family tree won’t have any branches. Just a straight line 😂

    First cousin marriages were extremely common even into the early 20th century in Europe; they were even considered romantic. It is still done today in many cultures although more people have stopped marrying first cousins now, because of the known genetic risks. More distant cousin marriages, are less of an issue: by the time you get to third cousins they share very little more DNA than the general population. It is also very possible not to know someone is your third cousin or even your second cousin (unless you're the family historian perhaps). When delving into one branch of my family, I discovered one man, Jack, had been friends with my uncle in his youth. They drifted apart when my uncle spent time abroad, and it was only when I met Jack, that we found out that on returning home, my uncle had met and married Jack's second cousin.

    On the premise that I am not responsible for the actions of my ancestors had in their lives, I do not have a problem if any of them were less than ideal people. I shall always opt for truth, no matter what. Truth can be ugly, truth can hurt, but it can also set us free. We do not chose to be born to a certain family and we should always aim to break the cycle of wrongdoing with courage and with faith that God will forgive us and help us to take the right path.

    Honesty is always the best. By using Ancestry, information on living relatives is not published on a family tree until the tree builder lists the person as deceased. We are not responsible for our ancestors actions. What we are responsible for is to be diligent about not making the same mistakes they did.

    I watched your other video on your ancestary , wish I had records to find out my family history but a few family members have tried and there just arent enough records to go as far back as great great great great grandfather grandmother etc also too many bastards in my family on both sides. Pretty interesting though genetics I have white grandparents but I was born with a mongolian spot and have quite dark skin in comparison to the rest of my white family , turns out my great great great grandmother on my mothers side came from Spain with the Spannish armada to Ireland and thern to Scotland and she has really dark skin. My sister however has red hair and fair skin.

    That family inbred part, 400 years of secrecy is what needs to be broken. It was highly possible especially on large farms and plantations stemming from enslavement, which did effect us, the whole of America into sexuality.
    This did not dawn on me until I had to transport a whyt guy who hipped me to the truth of what subconsciously was all ready in my mind.

      I totally agree with you. She just isn't a screenwriter. i thought the third was better for the reason that she wasn't the sole screenwriter so it was more cohesive. It just had the problem that there were so many loose plot threads left over from the first two. I honestly would love to know what she actually had in mind in the first place. I enjoyed the 1920s-1930s era world. It would be nice if she'd set down and write the books but I don't expect her to.
