I love Liv’s voice. It’s so soothing to me.
It is so freaking cool about the drummer boy history and how Steven was also a drummer. Something’s really are in your blood 🥰

Liv would be the descendant. Robert Elliott would be her ancestor.

I remember when her Dad found out! I love it!

Always felt that Steven Tyler had African blood in him.. his facial features and some of his attire gives the vibe of being so.

[Robert_Is_Me]

I think you mean African-American ancestor, not descendent. 🙄

[alomaalber]

Wonderful actress. She grew up in Alexandria, VA and was a beautiful neighbor, so glad to see her on this show!

You can see the W under the M so like we do now, I would think the M was thicker just because they wanted to ensure it was readable.

FIX THIS TITLE! Liv Tyler found an African American ANCESTOR! NOT a DESCENDANT. "Descendant" and "ancestor" mean DIFFERENT THINGS.

[DEADLYZ]

Liz is such an amazing lady. You see a kindness in her.

I am reading a book entitled the Boy Soldiers of the Revolution, and if Robert was a drummer, he could've been younger when the war started and therefore not big enough to handle a weapon. Robert also could've been volunteered by his "guardian."

Liv should inquire to see if Robert filed for a military pension in the 1830's.

The M for mulatto was strongly written over the W...

*Liv Tyler uncovers African American ancestor (he's not descended from her, she's descended from him). The title can still be edited.

"uncover African American descendant" - really? I thought it was an ancestor, not a descendant.

[pacifichistorian]

Can't wait to see her back in Captain America Brave New World!! 🇺🇸🦅

[Nunofyabizzzzz]

Her voice is soft and whispery it reminds me of Victoria Monet

[PercivalC]

Descendant? Ancestor. Liv is the descendant.

[damonvincent]

That explains some of her family’s features. Her and her sister have amazing thick lips they get from their father

[hebrewlioness]

She speaks so feminine and eloquently.

[Nomadd]

I mean her father looks mixed so this was no surprise

[humanbeing]

Who writes these titles? Can we try it in English next time?
