It's in the blood. People found out they are doing the same thing their ancestors were during.h John Lewis, LL Cool J, and Levar Burton found out they share the same thing has their ancestors. John found out his ancestors were involved in politics, trying to fight for civil rights. LL found out that he had 2 ancestors who were boxers. LL cool J use to box. Levar introduced a lot of kids to books and taught us how to appreciate reading. He had ancestors who were educators. It was sad when Mandy found out how his ancestors died. Joe Maganella found out he is Black. Lol It is a lot of whites whose ancestors were here during slavery, have Black Sub Sahara blood Just like it is a lot of Blacks who have white blood like Levar, Tracy Morgan, and Henry Gates Jr

He use to box too. John Lewis civil rights activist and politics Mandy's was sad when he found out how his ancestors were killed Joe found out he was black. It is a lot of whites in America who have black, Sub Saharan blood. Research said it is around 75% Blacks whose ancestors were slaves have European blood.

Sometimes watching the guests on FYR learn their family histories can be so overwhelming. I remember watching the episode with Mandy Patinkin when it first aired, and the way he fell apart in an instant broke my heart.

Andy Samberg's story is also amazing. They were able to find his mother's biological mother and father.

I was struck by Bernie Sanders, who had no real idea what his immigrant father had gone through or just how many of his relatives were murdered in the Holocaust. It was clear that to him it explained a lot about his childhood.

Horrible. I cannot process all the pain and suffering they were forced through.

FYR is a wonderfully educational show, it also reminds us that humanity was not always kind. It reminds us to do better.

First I have to say there should definitely be a box of tissue paper on the table. Next Ms. Davis was very wise to hone in on what all of this information means. It tells you why your life has been difficult or easier and why you’ve had to overcome some things that you didn’t realize were an issue.

As someone in the African diaspora, sometimes its alarming to think of how close and yet so far we are far we are from our enslaved ancestors. You hear stories and for a moment in time you reach out and touch them. My grandma once told my mom that HER grandma could remember her early life on the plantation before emancipation. Its just crazy.

I found out about my grandfather's biological father just 3 years ago! I was shocked because I'm carrying someone else's last name 😮. But I Love 💗 My Family and would like to find my other paternal grandfather's biological family

Yup, Birth Certificates aren't always correct. It happens often, to me and a friend of mine!

This is no big secret. People lied all the time for different reasons People lied when they had affairs, under age pregnancy's, to hide their real race and nationality because of Jim Crow and etc. Black light skinned or biracial people who passed for white didn't tell their spouse that they were Black. On the babies birth certificate, it would say both parents are white. Some people didn't even have birth certificates. In the South, a lot of Blacks didn't have birth certificates. I have several relatives who were born in the 1930s and 1940s who didn't have a birth certificates. Men signed birth certificates thinking they were the father and later found out that they were not. They are still responsible for paying child support. This is nothing new, families kept secrets and didn't tell their kids or grandkids. Jack Nicksoln grew up believing his grandmother was his mother. In reality, his sister was really his mother, and the woman he thought was his mother was his grandmother. His mother had him when she wasn't married and a teenager.

This is nothing new. People lied on birth certificates or didn't know what to put on them all the time. People lied on birth certificates for different reasons. They had an affair, under age pregnancy's, they were trying to hide their race, because of segregation. Light skinned blacks and biracial people who could pass for white lied about their race to their spouse. People thought the black person were white, and they put on the birth certificate that both parents of the child were white. Some people didn't even have a birth certificate. This happened in the South a lot with Blacks. I have a few relatives who were born in the 1930s and 1940s who dont have a birth certificate at all. Men who sign birth certificates are thinking they are the father, later find out that they are not. What is crazy, they are still responsible for paying child support because they signed the birth certificate. Family members kept secrets all the time Jack Nicholson found out when he was grown that his mother was really his grandmother His sister was really his mother. His mother had him when she was a teenager and not married, which was a big deal back then.

While they are all profound. I found that Sunny Hostins discovery that her ancestors were slave traders from the Iberian peninsula, who were the original slave traders . Not the British, who abolished slavery.
