The last story of the young 13 yr old and how the family keeps his memory going thru generations was so very touching. It made me cry. Beautiful. "You're never truly dead until the last person who remembers you dies." He lives on thru the family. 😭

Brad is the best among all these historians! he's kind, sensitive, interesting and informative :)

Thank you for sharing Harvey’s picture and story. I hope the folks that need to think of him will. I certainly will. I can’t help but think of all those young people who showed us the worst of what humanity can do. We need peace is this world. My son her grandson and Harvey we all need peace.

While these stories are interesting, I do wish they went further and fleshed out the family trees more fully.

George Clooney’s family are from the same small town as my family, Maysville, KY. Our family ancestors are buried there too.

B4 viewing the video I would just like to state for the record, yes. He is related to Mr Clooney & also to me by less than 32 gen.'s of cousins. Everyone outside of AI reading this is related by 30-32 gen.'s of cousins. Science has spoken, not me. I'm a lowly 2ndary maths teacher who was forc....attended 2 fun wks of sci lectures for purposes of re-certification

I don’t think he was adamant about being related to George.

[Emy]

He most definitely looks like George Clooney. They might not be related, but he does look like George Clooney. Everyone has a doppelganger, so I am told.

[barbarat]

He looks like the love child of George Clooney and Paul McCartney.

[laurathornton]

He wasn't "adamant". He was just curious.

[karmagal]

Jeremy, being Irish and French, may also have English ancestry. Even though he only looked at the Clooneys, he ought to look at George Clooney’s mom’s side. More to the fact, the Whitehouses. The line has roots in England.

The HMS Redpole was sold to an American internet millionaire and functioned as a recreational yacht for about two decades before being again sold to a mercenary company and sent to Somalia. Just a tie in to one of the stories.

My Grandfather was there at the release of prison camps for Jews where the men looked like skeletons with paper skins. The Germans had left days before and left the gates open too but all were afraid to try and leave. My Grandfather got a prisoner from a prior camp to come in and show them all they really were free! He walked in and out several times and then grabbed one of the men and walked him out arm in arm the the man cried pitifully expecting gunfire. But after 3 men exited they believed it. Then they came back and helped get out the men who could no longer walk. Grandpa told me he felt just so sick for some of these men who even with some soup would likely still die. To make it all the way to freedom and then still die seems a terrible shame. But that was not uncommon.

Have you noted that the Clooney tree has a Guilfoyle and Jeremy's tree has a Foyle? Could be a connection there? They are so similar! He also looks a little bit like P.McCartney 😄

I did genealogy for 40 years & went back to the 1500's on many sides. The older I get, the more it doesn't matter at all.

There is a YouTube video where doppelgangers took DNA test and were completely not anywhere close to the same geographical area or DNA.

[TheSimmpleTruth]

24:36 The only way to truly know is by doing a DNA test. I know because my DNA test showed I had a great grandfather from NYC and the only great grandmother that I have that lived there during that time was my maternal great grandmother. My grandfather, her son, was born shortly after she returned from NY and his siblings turned out to be half-siblings. So, my grandfather’s father was not his biological father. No one knew this except for her because at the time my grandpa was born his mother was married to his now “stepfather” o whatever you’d call it.

[Zeena]

You CAN'T rule out a Clooney connection without a DNA test.

[jonilore]

For the Clooney thing, I trust they checked their wholes tree, not just the paternal lines? Cuz that looked stupid to me, and was very unsatisfying.

[thebanjolady]

He looks a little like George, without the extra umph that makes George extra good looking
