Records can be accurate but sometimes DNA can prove relationships otherwise.
@@TheEnderknight Its not he records fault, its the people
Mr beat wants a family reunion
love this thanks
I'm not sure who I'm relate on my father side.
That's so cool that you and Mr. Beast are cousins!
cant belive he and Mr. Beast are cousins, thats awesome
I completely read that as “Mr Beast and I are cousins” and was originally excited to see that Matt and the billionaire himself were related
@@zasproductions9258 I think we all know he still aint a billonaire.
And i think he is trolling.
i know, i love mr breathe!!!!
Oh hey, we're related! I have done extensive genealogy on my own family and Lewis Whitcomb and Mary Goltry are my 3rd great grandparents!
Damn! You guys should meet up one of these days.
*Oh, man!*
Wasn't there a governor of Indiana named Whitcomb?
I could be related to genghis khan he had 18 kids
@@Tonymeows43 just 18?
I think what's more shocking to me is that Mr. Beat's last name is actually Beat 😂
Yeah, he's my brother. My family name has always been weird. Lol but we love it.
@@reneewray7104 give proof
@@Yasin_2312 She's my sister and she's the best sister in the world.
@@Yasin_2312 Mr. Beat actually confirmed it. That's a little surprising.
@@Cheerios100 first time someone actually gave proof on CZcams. I applaud him for that
Can someone make sure I am not related to M.Laser, please?
Working on it!
Hey ur here too?
Hi big fan here
@@MLaserHistory lol and he replied
@@MLaserHistory wow haha
A few other notable descendants of John Whitcomb and Frances Coggan;
1. Indiana Governor Edgar Doud Whitcomb (1917-2016) - 8th-great grandson through son Job Whitcomb
2. President Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933) - 9th-great grandson through daughter Catherine Elmes (Whitcomb)
3. Historian Frank Bigelow Tarbell (1853-1920) - 5th-great grandson through son Josiah Whitcomb
4. Medal of Honor recipient - Lt. Cornelius Hadley (1838-1902) - 4th -great grandson through son Josiah Whitcomb
5. Mayor of Detroit Douglas Houghton (1809-1845) - 4th-great grandson through son Josiah Whitcomb
6. Indiana Senator and Governor James Whitcomb (1795-1852) - 4th-great grandson through son Robert Whitcomb Sr.
7. Major Benjamin 'the Rascal' Whitcomb (1737-1828) - 2nd-great grandson through son Josiah Whitcomb
Now imagine how different everything would be had John Whitcomb stayed back in England!
Governor Whitcomb was a BEAST
@Mr. Beat Yeah.
@@iammrbeat oh my god its mrbeast from the huge channel named "mrbeast"!
So is it John or Joseph Whitcomb?
@@_mark_3814uhh
Honestly love the unbiased look at history and legend.
Uhm... what can make someone biased talking about a family tree?
I think the Carolingians would agree with me on this, its complicated...
@@chankatz7603 *Laughs in Merovech's mother*
@Anna333 the question was how talking about the family tree itself be biased, not how someone's genealogy can make them biased.
What a coincidence that both of you are named Matthew!
Both of your initials are MB too, its as if you guys are linked together in a mysterious way
The tree of life works in mysterious ways...
Nothing can't beat the Magic Tree of Nowhere
And their nicknames are Matt
My friends name is also matthew
This is so cool! Mr. Beat is my big brother. It's neat how things connect with our families. Thanks for sharing!
You sure?
Stop the cap
Currently skeptical
@@LemPalo She is my sister
@@iammrbeat oh okay
0:20 "and currently he is doing me"
Good to know man, good to know
Lol
I need to get my mind out of the gutter….
Uh oh
That's ince-
When a great aunt of mine found that she (we) descended from people named Bush, that spurred her on to do more genealogical research to find, much to her relief, that that line is _not_ related to the US presidents.
Given that my earliest ancestor, on my mom's side, to arrive in North America did so essentially as a stowaway, and under an alias, it's hard to track our family tree. According to my Grandma, he was caught hunting on crown land, and instead of facing punishment, snuck onto a ship and left. Only being discovered when the ship was at sail.
Roughly when did that happen?
@@knightwing5169 Late 1700s I'd reckon. Not sure exactly when. I do know he or his sons were eventually given land somewhere in New York, where they stayed for a few generations, before moving out to The Dakotas, and eventually Montana, when they became States, before ending up in Alberta, once it became a province.
@@mitchellskene8176 Thank you for telling me
@Minarcho-Monarchist 110 If that ancestor was named John Freeman, and he died in River Falls, St. Croix County Wisconsin on February 18th, 1871, it's very much a possibility. I was able to find his grave online.
Off with your head!
Wonderful video, Matt! It is great to see how we are connected.
It's my beautiful wife, Mrs. Beat!
@@iammrbeat awe, shucks. 🥰
Hope you two have a wonderful early or late anniversary!
Always fun to find out how you're related to someone, however distant. My best friend and I both found a person from Katwijk in our family trees. That's a village where pretty much everyone is related one way or another, so we focused on those branches of our own trees and found a fisherman in 1630 that's my ancestor 10 generations back, and her's 11 generations back!
I would like a barrel of Tilapia please. Thank you.
So is your best friend your aunt or uncle?
This video has just reminded me of the time when my fifth grade teacher and one of my classmates at the time found out they were related in the middle of class. I don’t even remember how it came up exactly, but I thought it was cool
I found out when they finally found Richard III's remains and DNA tested it, that we're some kind of related, as we have the same mitochondrial DNA. I'm sure it's some kind of very distant relation, but it's pretty neat that my family actually looks a bit like him and Scoliosis runs in our family.
Also, after a few years of genealogy research and help from numerous distant relatives figured out that I might be related to Anne of Cleaves (related, not a direct descendant, obviously). Our family descends from her sister. My little sister and our cousin both actually look almost exactly like her famous Holbein portrait.
We're also related to James I/Mary Queen of Scots through an illegitimate daughter (of James, obviously). I think her name was Janet. It's been a long time since I looked at the records lol
Like you said, it's not exact, but it's interesting to see something like that.
I will say that pretty much everybody in England is related to King Edward III. King Richard isn't as common but I believe everybody who has English ancestors has a relation to Royalty somehow. It's a cool coincidence that these family members look similar. You see If we go back 21 generations we have like 2,097,152 ancestors. In England when Richard was born, there were around 1.9 million people, so you can see how its relatively common to have some sort of relation to royalty.
That's really cool!
May I ask through which sister of Anne of Cleves? That would make you either related to the house of wettin and therefore to the kings of Saxony or to Empress Elizabeth of Austria - Hungary
@@thelisapisa It's been at least a decade since I went through the stuff I found, and I didn't take it very seriously, as it's not really provable (unlike the Richard III DNA). I also suffer from memory loss due to a recent health condition. So, unfortunately (and embarrassingly) I don't remember 🤦♀️
But considering the fact I had some ancestry DNA testing done and I don't seem to have any Hungarian DNA, I would guess it's the other sister.
But again, it's not something I take very seriously. More like an interesting curiosity. Like he says, being related to royalty isn't really that special nor is it really meaningful beyond some kind of fun, unofficial trivia.
I am curious now though to remind myself which sister it was. So I'll probably look when I get a chance and try to respond here later.
If you go back far enough, you will find out that you are related to the Ice Man.
It's really interesting to find the Whitcomb last name here, here in Argentina a British man named Alexander Witcomb (1835-1905) established the first photographic studio on the country at the end of the 19th century. That's where some of the most iconic photographs of Argentine history were taken, like the full body portrait of President Julio Argentino Roca at 1900, and some sources say it also photographed Presidents Sarmiento and Mitre among others.
Aloha Matt, I am related to both you and Mr. Beat. Your Grandfather Arnold was my 6th cousin 5 times removed and your Grandmother Melda was my 8th cousin 3 times removed. I am related to Mr. Beat from his Grandmother Mabel , whom was my 11th cousin. I am so happy that one of the people that I love watching here is you Matt and that we are related. I love genealogy as much as you do and love your useful charts. Mahalo for what you do
That's kinda common though. But still sort of Nice i guess.
Two of my favorite CZcamsrs are related! Nice! And 11th cousins! It's like you practically shared a room growing up! 🤣
My grandson is happy to think that I am related to Mr. Beast. lol
He heard "Donaldson" from "North Carolina" and lit up to be the happiest little man alive.
My father was one of 19 born on a farm in 1918 - It could be true!!! :)
one of 19? WOW just WOW
I’m most likely a descendant of a seneschal of Leinster who was given land by William Marshal. Nearly a thousand years later people in my family are still named after him. But as an American I’m not related to any presidents lol. My ancestors were their servants. I am related to a minor Irish founding father through the aforementioned Anglo-Norman knight. But through this line I have connection to two US presidents. My 3x great grandmother was a servant for both Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt. FDR and Eleanor paid for her bridal trousseau.
I think we are 120th cousins of each other… I’m from Asia.
That’s pretty cool.
That's increnable, I've done myheritage projcet in 7th grade where we had to do a big assignment which we had to find our paternal ancestors. We found out that some of us (the students) are related to each other, we even got second-cousins in our classes.
It’s fun but very distant cousins are common to happen in countries eventually if you aren’t recently immigrated. Icelands whole population is on average 6th cousins.
The Atlantic covered this nearly twenty years ago in an article called "The Royal We", which pointed out how the exponential growth of our family trees into the past means we are ALL related in the relatively recent past, including to the royal houses of Europe.
Edit: the article points out how Saddam Hussein always claimed to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohamed, who fathered a good many children. Saddam was most certainly correct.
UsefulCharts has a video about it as well :3
We are all related to Lucy. Big deal.
can i have a link to the article?
@@Theakritas_ I read it on “printed paper”.....in ancient times, and I think the Atlantic now has a pay-wall. Good reading, though.
Sorry , i didn't get , who did father fifty children ? Do you mean the Prophet Mohamed , because he only had 7 children and , though i do not disagree with you , his descendants today are only through his daughter Fatima , she's the only one that had children who lived and had children of their own .
EDIT: I am sorry again but even saying "who famously fathered many children" isn't valid if only one went on to have children ...
EDIT2: The same issue with "a good many children" : ) ...
You're saying Joseph Whitcomb, but highlighting John Whitcomb.
Loved this video! I'm a regular viewer of GeneaVlogger's channel. 🙂
My husband's mother's maiden name is Cornwall.
Yeah. The audio was a mistake and too late to change. John is correct.
The fun thing is that while you and Mr. Beat are verifiably eleventh cousins, you are probably also cousins in a bunch of other ways. There's a good probability you are also tenth cousins, or maybe ninth cousins, or both. When you cast such a wide net, these sorts of multiple relationships become inevitable.
Like the English crown and the Dutch crown.
That's so freaking cool! I love studying genealogy and I enjoy watching the both of you!
Now that is truly interesting! A great connection between two great youtubers!
I am using Ancestry for my research and it is pretty interesting where people related to me live. I live in germany, most my ancestors lived here too but there are also parts of my family tree in the states, in canada, england, the netherlands, sweden and italy. Very interesting stuff.
You may thanks us for watching, but truly it is us who should thank you. Very interesting video, this only encourages me more to dig up my family tree.
I have been using My Heritage since last summer and I have to attest it is actually surprisingly easy to use, the amount of things I was able to discover about my family trees is incredible. One of those is that I have ancestors that trace back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony as well, though not the Whitcombs. Neat.
Hey Matt, in reference to 10:30, even I - a regular Dutch guy - managed to find out that I'm a descendant of King John despite not even having a single recent ancestor from the UK, Ireland or US. This is because his daughter Isabella married Holy Roman Emperor Friedrich II. Their daughter Margaretha married the margrave of Meißen and that's how it eventually came into the German side of my family :)
i wish i had family trees this easy to discover
i literally dont know the first name of 2 of my great grandpas
Couldn't you just ask? (If (great-)parents are still alive and have contact.)
@@aramisortsbottcher8201
my grandma is still alive, but she doesnt know the name of the actual biological father, she just knows that a jewish friend suspiciously visited her mom often, and we all have jewish dna, she doesnt know what his name was.
@@jana31415 Oh, ok, I did not think of that scenario.
My dad tells me that we are related to the Portuguese royal family although I still haven't seen any proof of that. My dad's cousin managed to get the title of "Don" so maybe one day I'll try to get that too
Dom Diogo sounds nice.
Hello, 12th cousin once removed!
Weirdly it looks like I'm not a descendant of King John even though I'm half English. Most recent king I found was Henry III. This is all according to Geni, though.
Also Zachary Taylor is my closest presidential relative, my 4th cousin 8 times removed. Both of us are descendants of Isaac Allerton, who came on the Mayflower. We're also both descendants of William Brewster, another passenger.
It's amazing how people connect to each other
U.S and Canada: We are brothers
Matt Baker and Mr Beat: Are cousins
Awesome videos as always! My ancestors kept changing their surnames every 2 generations, without mentioning their wives even. As such I can't find any records beyond my great great Grandfather :(
How cool! Love these videos.
POV: You thought it said "Mr. Beast"
Your videos are so darn good. Presentation being the key though subject is also interesting.
Have enjoyed your videos for a long time, so was delighted to learn we are related. The wife of John Prescott (1604-1681) was a cousin of one of my Gawkroger ancestors. I am also descended from King John (via King Edward III).
Bruh imagine how many people now will be grossed out once they find out that their partner is somehow related to them… especially in Europe, Africa or Asia it is not hard to match your 11th or even 5th cousin on Tinder without even knowing! Lmao
I don't see a problem, this is how it was since millennia.
@@aramisortsbottcher8201 But nobody knows or thinks about this and I don’t think a lot of people will actually leave their partner after they find it out! Lol
No wonder there is a lot of ugly looking people in the world.
I found that my mom's brother's wife (my aunt) is also my 30th cousin, once removed.
From Indonesia, your recorded lineage and mine meet in Henry II of England, yours went with John, while mine (and many, incredibly many others' in my area) follow the line of Eleanor.
That's awesome! Now you get to be a part of those $100,000 challenge videos.
The majority of the clicks will probably be people who thought he said "MrBeast"
I bet 80% of people clicked because of Mr Bean
There’s only one Mr. Beat though. 😉
@@aidanjanemcintosh6919 Yeah i thought Mr.bean
I descend from King Alfonso V "The Magnanimous" of Aragon through an illegitimate daughter on my Sicilian side.
Congrats on 1M, you’re growing fast, I must admit.
Hey UsefulCharts, for a suggestion for the next video, can you please do a video responding to comments from your Bible video on which characters are historical? I would love that thanks!
I thought the video read that you’re related to Mr Bean and I got very excited.
When doing my wife's family tree, I found that she was related to Patrick Henry. I'm only related to a bunch of cousins of William the Conqueror.
I just realised you hit 1 million, congrats!
OMG THAT'S AMAZING!
I made a family tree when I was in my early 20's, and I used to think it was impressive until I realized how common it was. I am pretty closely related to a couple handfuls of US Presidents though, like closer than Mr. Beat is to President Eisenhower.
I wish I knew more about my family's heritage.
WOW!
This is just TOO AWESOME!
We are all recently (within 200 years) related.
New Jersey! :D
I've been doing research into my family tree, so far I haven't been able to find out royalty in my family as it seems that the paper trail dies out in the 1600s in England. :(
Hey Matt! This video really convinced me to start tracing my family tree and history on MyHeritage but I’m not sure I will get very far because I’m from Australia and my ancestors have been since the beginning of European settlement down under, and I’m wondering if on MyHeritage there’s not that much information on Australian heritage? If anyone else knows that would be cool as well
It's a free trial. I'd say give it a try and see how much Australia info they have.
@@UsefulCharts thanks so much for the reply! I will definitely give the free trial a go!
This man has inspired me to make my own family tree, it goes back to the early 1500's now
EDIT: Turns out that he is my dad's 15th cousin twice removed
Big fan of both of you . Glad to know both are cousins
Very interesting to learn this!!
That's clear as day as you both are from the Matt's family! [/s]
Here before Mr Beat comments
I legit got an ad for My Heritage right as you were doing your My Heritage ad.
This is awesome.
So many of you are lucky that you have your history my grandparents don't even know their birthdays
The greatest royalty tree
How fun that your wife & sons are related to William Dawes! I’ve done a lot of research into his first wife Mehitable’s family- Her half-sister Abigail’s husband was in the Boston Tea Party, and one of her half-brothers was an ancestor of Louisa May Alcott! Dawes himself is actually also most likely buried with Mehitable and not at the plot in King’s Chapel that everyone goes to visit. It’s so fun finding out how all of them were connected back then!
Love all y’all!
See theres an issue for me. While my grandparents on my fathers side can easily traced back to early 1900s Russian decent, my moms side is a lot more challenging. My moms great ancestors were some of the first people to migrate from France to the St. Lawrence colony. Over time they most likely intermarried with local Canadian natives, making me French and Canadian if you go back centuries but as you mentioned it's difficult to trace back to the 1500s and so it will be challenging to ever know if I'm connected to French royal families. But I may be connected to some far Eastern European royals as I am incredibly Russian and most likely part Polish, Finnish and Ukrainian so one of those have to work right?
How do you manage to find all of your ancestors so far back to even the 15th century?? I would love to do this
I've been doing my family history for awhile now and have discovered that my main branches of my family tree either are Normandy Royalty going back to the Norsman that settled there during after the besieging of Paris. The other parts of my tree go back to Germany, Scotland and Irish Royalty
very cool! I watch Mr Beat as well and cool how so many are related.
Eunice Whitcomb Bezanson may descend from an ancestor who lived in Besançon or a town named after it. Besançon is a French city whose name is very fun to say. The name derives from classical Latin _Vesontio_ with a probably Celtic origin. But the name got clobbered over time, sort of like Cologne. And now we have the objectively silly name "Bezanson."
This is the coolest family tree I have ever seen. The George Bush’s, Dwight D. Eisenhower, the king of England, you, Mr. Beat, and even somebody I saw in this comment section are on it. That’s crazy.
You are on it too!
Hey Matt! I just wanted to say I love your videos and I am related to Abraham Lincoln and my favorite are your English monarchs videos!
On my workplace in Munich in Germany I have a collegue, she comes also from very old noble families. She is the great-great granddaughter in maternal line of the bavarian kings. She is also a descendant of Sophie from Palatinate,the woman, who is by the Act of settlement from 1707 the mother of the british royal family - she is arround position 2,100 of the appearant list for the british throne. And, ansolutly crazy: she is a descendant of Pope Paul III.
Apparently I'm a direct descendant of king Henry the 7th. This wouldn't put me in the line of succession because I'd need to be a direct descendant of Sophia of the Palatinate which to me knowledge I'm not. P.S even if I was in line for the thrown there'd be hundreds of others before me. Edit: I did some extra research and I'm 17th Cousins four times removed to queen Elizabeth.
It doesn't take that many generations before we are all pretty much related. It has been estimated that just about all modern Europeans are descended from Charlamagne. I myself am related to President John Adams. I believe I'm related to him about 4th cousins about 7 times removed (I would have to look it up again for accuracy). Probably every American is just about as closely related if not closer I would think.
It makes me wonder about those creation myths of many ethnicities/nations/tribes, where everyone is descended from this one almost legendary father or mother figure.
If Charlemagne from over a thousand years ago in a world with such a huge, international population as we have today can be so prevalent in our genealogies Imagine even farther back in time in smaller scale civilizations.
Fascinating
I’m subscribed to both of your channels. I’d be proud to be a cousin of either of you.
Small world, huh?
Would be interesting to have your viewers seeing who their closest fellow viewer relative is!
might be hard for me to find it
I have no idea who you or mr beat are but this is so interesting I’m gonna check you both out. And if he does history vids im sure I’ll like I’m obsessed with history though admittedly not as much into Presidents I typically like ancient history or history about war. Still so cool what a video!
Update: I subbed this channel is AWESOME!
What? I can't believe it. It happens. Thank you for showing that these connections are real, an explainable. And that we are related to each other.
Hey being elected Holy Roman Emperor means he’s at least entitled to be called King of the Romans even if he doesn’t receive his regalia.
It does make a lot of sense that most people with European ancestry are related to some European royals but I assume you're talking about Christians. Now my question is are Jews with European ancestry, possibly related to European royals too?
And I also have to say that it's really cool that you and Mr. Beat are related to each other and some American presidents.
Yes
1 million closer just subscribed
Thats so cool! Mr. Beats family has a president!❤
I'm def related to you guys too 😊 I don't remember exact connections offhand, but a great uncle on my mom's side has done extensive research on our shared family line which traces back to the Prescotts of colonial times, English kings including John, & many, many more. Most a my mom's side have lived in what's now the US, while my dad's side & some a my mom's, namely the non-English among them, little's known for sure beyond my great x2 grandparents. My English ancestry, whether going by paper trails or DNA tests, is
I believe, if we go back far enough, we can trace our family tree back to Adam & Eve 😃
Where did all the races come from?
This is frickin sick
".....And currently he's doing me"
Oh shi-
Matt and Matt are related?
When you are a Mormon and get family history sites for free. Seriously, isn't that strange? If you are a Mormon you can make an account with any Genealogical website for free.
It's all part of mormon domination plan
every time you mentioned one of those early massachusetts bay colonists i was like "hey i know that name!" lol, spent so much time learning about that as im from the area
Almost 1 Million Subscribers!!!
Interesting video. I think we might be related through your connection to English Royalty as I have quiet a few family connections to British royalty
My brother did our tree and managed to get back to Eleanor, Countess of Leicester, wife of Richard de Montfort. Eleanor was the youngest of King John and Queen Isabella's children. Don't know how that connects us... it feels complicated... but John is the common denominator there 😁
I descend from several early settlers in Nova Scotia, waiting for that royal link in England, France, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany.
It is always fascinating to see how we are all connected. I am also a descendant of Mary Prescott, where my line follows her son, Edward Sawyer Sr., making us 11th cousins once removed, at least through that line.
