In this new series, I will be researching the family trees of fellow youtubers and showing the process as I go along. This series will be a tutorial on how to do genealogy research while also highlighting the interesting ancestral history of your favorite youtubers. This second season will feature Mr. Beat, whose channel focuses on history, politics, geography, and other topics related to social studies. In the first few episodes of this season, I will be building Mr. Beat's family tree using only DNA.
This fourth episode will focus on possible Powhatan ancestry for Mr. Beat through his 4th-great grandmother Mary Whitcomb (Goltry). This episode also looks into Mary's brother Jacob Fitzgerald Goltry, his service during the Civil War, and his letters home - with assistance from Sheila Kell of the Jennings County Library and Rodger Ruddick of the Hayden Historical Museum.

My "Native American" was actually black. Some family members would say that through a certain family line there was Native American, but upon looking into it I found out it was actually free black people who traveled up to Mecosta County, Michigan. Weird how disproving a family legend can causes something more interesting to be discovered.

I watched a bunch of videos about the history of the Powhatan to prepare for this research, and even after that my brain can't seem to wrap around how to actually pronounce it. I'll get it one day....

I enjoyed this episode and Sheila's contribution. I am one of those rare people who looked to see if the rumor of Native American ancestry was true and found out all my grandparents were European and Native American. The families never told their children anything however.

Very cool Indiana history. My old boss worked for Governor Edgar Whitcomb and went on to be the Deputy Mayor of the city of Indianapolis. Whitcomb was the last governor before the Indiana Constitution was changed to allow governors to run for consecutive terms.

The Powhatan Confederation was a group of Algonquian/Algonkian tribes ruled by a paramount chief. Each headed by a tribal chief. Some of the confederated tribes were the Pamunkey (Pocahontas' mother descended from this tribe), Mattaponi, Rappahannock, Kecoughtan, Potomac, Kiskiack, Appomattoc, Nansemond, Piankatank, and many others.

I think finding something like this book of letters just goes to show the importance of stepping outside of the usual genealogy sites (ancestry, geni * too. Sometimes Google can yield interesting results. And of course then point you in a direction for further research. That book was an absolute gold mine of info. Perhaps if Elizabeth Fitzgerald was an orphan either she or her grandchildren could have created a colourful back story for her, especially as she seemed to have those amazing cheekbones, and hence the story of Native American heritage was born?!

From what I have seen living in the US, in the vast majority of cases, if you have any verified Native American ancestry, _you will already be an active member of a tribe._ Tribal governments will reach out to anyone they can find because they tend to be very small and there's a lot of cultural/economic/political value in finding more eligible members.

@JEREMY99218 2 жыл бұрын

That is true. The generally used term is "Enrolled Member". All tribes rules vary somewhat but most tribal governments require a minimum 1/4 to 1/8 tribal ancestry to become an Enrolled Member or at least one grandparent who is an enrolled member. As far as I know all the tribes require ancestral documentation through records and/or affidavits from parents and grandparents. They do not accept DNA test results for Enrolled Member applicants.

This is my SECOND post that Mr. Beets might be my relative and this time I am sure. This time for sure I can point to just who was at least related to "Indians" in his family tree. The Peck(e) family in Lyme Conn. How I am related to this family as well besides the Roosevelts that I have already mentioned in previous video. This time its Daruis Peck the son of Simeon Peck in Lyme Conn. I recall that my ancestor Richard Atwell (Whom I declare as the grandson of Uncas the Mohegan) made testimony on a land Claim that he witnessed from "The hand of Uncas" to Mr. Peck of Lyme Ct. >2. Elizabeth,(Peck) born December 10, 1761, married Simeon Holton < In 1761 my Ancestor Ruth Holton moved to Nova Scotia with her husband John Atwell (1718) married in 1745. John Atwell is the son of Richard Atwell the Witness to the DEED of Mr. Peck in Lyme.

It seems George Liebst has his father's (Kasper) birth and death dates on there. I was wondering how mr. Beat said he had met with this great grandparent if he died in 1918. (The story about glass eye). Also the age difference between Georg eLiebst and Mabel Whitcombe was eye brow rising at the beginning. Maybe this is the result of a quick and dirty tree 😂

I enjoyed the video. No criticism on your pronunciation, but just a note- Chariton, Iowa is pronounced with an sh sound instead of ch. No way anyone but the locals would know that.
