The "why" for me was why was his death so jarring for me. I actually shed tears and didn't realize why at that moment. </p><div><br /></div><div>In the ensuing time my reflection has brought a flood of memories of a time in the 80's when my life was evolving into who I really was on the inside. Many of these memories are long ago and locked in a vault. </div><div>After countless years of attempting to persuade my parents (grandparents) of my need to be accepted as the male I was and their (mostly my grandmother) attempts at conversion therapy, verbal ridicule, arguments that went nowhere, I shed my family ties (ultimatum that I couldn't come to their house unless I remained in permanent gender limbo and celibate, but I digress). </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, after 4 long years of seeking a competent psychiatrist (yes that was and still is the gatekeeping method of absolute control) I was started on hormones in 1985 when "What Sex Am I?" (documentary by Lee Grant) was released on HBO. I spent some of my student loan money on a subscription so I could watch this first broadcast of something that was positive and about us. Trans men. I would not meet another trans man like myself for 10 years after watching this program. So, this and Phil Donahue was my first glimpse of anyone like me. I had lived this life 0-25 on my own without any support or guidance, so alone was something I was used to, but never allowed me to not be hyperaware of exposure and lack of support. A toll I still try to heal from. Anyone who knew me throughout my youth new I was not comfortable as a girl, nor believable as one. I only share this to give you an idea of the impact that awaited me. </div><div> </div><div>Prior to the children's version of Pee Wee's Playhouse was an HBO special from 1981 "The Pee-Wee Herman Show Live from the Sunset Strip's Roxy Theater", a very adult play version of what would transpire into Pee Wee's Playhouse on Saturday on a major network. I saw this aired prior to the Playhouse release in 1986 and was hooked. I had little glimpses of hope and being able to watch a kids show and be silly was instrumental for my actual survival. I was going through male puberty without knowing how that worked for a 25 year old.</div><div><br /></div><div>Pee Wee's Playhouse had a large part in my joy during this difficult time. Paul Rueben made being different normal and desirable to be around. I will be forever grateful to Paul Rubenfeldt for that gift.<div><br /></div>Yes, Paul Ruebens was actually Paul Rubenfeld(t) grandson of Jewish Polish/Austrian immigrants to NYC (1909) then to the town of Peekskill in upstate New York where Paul’s grandmother owned a Bar/Restaurant where his father and siblings worked before Paul’s father moved the family to Sarasota, Florida when Paul was young. Paul’s father Milton (Milt) worked at the restaurant/bar as well as his siblings on 699 Central Ave (1940 & 1950 census records) owned by his widowed mother Gussie, with a number of lodgers. Records show that Paul’s maternal grandparents were from Galicia, Austrian Empire (Presently, Poland). Now you know why the episode of 30 Rock where he plays an Austrian prince must have been so fun for him to do! Paul’s grandparents are buried in Peekskill, Winchester Co. NY not too far from me. If I’m ever in the area I may visit the Hebrew Cemetery where they are buried.<br /><div>His father, Milt was quite the decorated hero if what is on <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/151330737/milton-rubenfeld">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/151330737/milton-rubenfeld</a> is true. There are several genealogies of this family on-line that differ in the town in Poland//Austria that Louis Rubenfeldt and his family came, but right now I haven't the time to investigate further, maybe at a later date.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="overview-col biotext-wrapper" style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 636px;"><div class="overview-panel data-bio pb-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 0px;"><div class="overview-panel--body data-filled-user" itemprop="description" style="box-sizing: border-box; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 636px; word-break: break-word;"><p class="bio-min d-print-block" id="fullBio" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 10.5px;">World War II Victory Medal<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />RAF 1942<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />US Army Air Force 1943-45<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Israel Air Force 1948<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />At the age of 84.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Born in Peekskill. NY In his high school years in Peekskill, NY Milton was an Eagle Scout. He was also a lifeguard who saved lives. He went to college at both NYU and the University of New Mexico to study art. In New Mexico he hunted rattle-snakes.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />He wanted to fight in World War Two before the U.S. entered the war so he joined the Royal Air Force, leaving there to join the United States Air Force when the U.S. involvement started.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In 1948 he and a small group of Americans helped establish the State of Israel and founded the nascent Israeli Air Force. Milton flew the Messerschmitt 109 as a member of the 101st. Squadron<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In 1951 he fell in love and married his wife of 52 years, Judy (Rosen). They owned a Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Oneonta New York. In the basement of their house he built a stage for his son Paul and a boat for his daughter. He always disliked shoveling snow and dreamed of moving to Florida and living on the water. In 1960 he moved his family, which now included a second son, to Sarasota.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />He is the father of three children-Paul, Abby and Luke. Paul is the actor better known as Pee-wee Herman. Abby is a prominent civil rights attorney and mother to his two grandchildren, Lily and Sarah.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Milton had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh and be funny. He was a very modest man who did not like to talk about his many accomplishments. In the 1980’s he was honored in Israel for his heroism and lead-ership during the very earliest beginnings of the Israeli Air Force-his plane has been preserved and is displayed outside the airport in Tel Aviv with a plaque bearing his name.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />He was rarely seen without a cigar. He never took “no” for an answer and lived his life with great gusto and swagger.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The story is told that on the 2nd day of the airforce May 29,1948 Milton was shot down on his mission in 1948 the Israeli Air Force had not only been a secret to the Egyptians—it had also been a secret to Israeli citizens. Swimming ashore after parachuting out of his damaged plane , the moshavniks of Kfar Vitkin assumed that Rubenfeld was an Arab pilot. Rubenfeld knew no Hebrew, and knew very little Yiddish, so in order to convince them he was Jewish, he reportedly shouted the only thing he could remember: "Shabbos, gefilte fish! Shabbos, gefilte fish!"</p><div><b><u>So this is my heartfelt thanks, Paul Rueben! It was apparent that your life was devoted to kindness regardless of human missteps. I'm sure you have no idea how many lives you touched.

I’m revamping my 2-year-old story in celebration of the 167th birthday of Vincent van Gogh with additional links and information. Let’s celebrate this great artist while we quarantine during the coronavirus! What you don’t know about the descendants of Vincent van Gogh is amazing and relevant!<br /></b></span><span><b>
March 30th marks the birth of the great artist, Vincent Willem van Gogh<sup>1</sup>. I own prints of many of his paintings that hang on walls in my home. Many years have been spent in admiration and trying to understand a deeply moving man. When I was very young, one of my favorite songs was Vincent by Don McLean (famous for his song American Pie). While others were into heavy metal, I turned the other way and found kinship in folk pop-singer songwriters. Rhapsodizing about Vincent’s life and struggles can be left to reading Van Gogh: The Life by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith (highly recommended).<br /></b></span><span><b>
Vincent meandered from a young age trying to discover what his passion and service would be. It wasn’t until he turned 27 that he began to become an artist, and by the age of 37 he was dead. Vincent was self-taught for the most part, copying his mother’s sketches while young, transpiring into putting out 10 years’ worth of amazing work that never sold during his lifetime. NOT one painting! I could go on…..instead, I’ll leave you with a story on the man who consistently sees into my soul and inspires me to follow my heart. Bear with me through the facts while the tragedy transpires.<br /></b></span><span><b>
You can find basic details of Vincent’s life on-line easily. Vincent(<sup>1</sup>) was born 30 Mar 1853 in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands, and died 29 July 1890 at the Ravoux’s Inn in Auvers, France with no issue (for non-genealogist this means no children). What isn’t as easy to find are the details of his ancestry, much of which is covered in The Complete Letters of Vincent van Gogh<sup>1</sup>, 3 volumes first published in 1958 (I own the third edition collection, 2000, pictured above). His sister-in-law provided a memoir of Vincent outlining the family lineage, referencing Annales Genealogiques by Arnold Buchelius which states “Jacob van Gogh (16th c. family already established in Holland) lived at the time in Utrecht…. Jan, Jacob’s son, sold wine and books….”. The family lineage had generations of connections to art and literature. The name van Gogh is believed to be derived from the small-town Gogh on the German frontier.<sup>2</sup></b></span><span><b><br /></b></span><span><b>
I will discuss some of his descendants through his brother Theo who had only one child. Vincent was the oldest of six children, three boys and three girls. The first born boy was stillborn leaving 5 siblings, Anna Cornelia (two daughters), Theodorus-Theo (one son), Elisabeth Huberta-Lies (5 children), Willemina Jacoba-Wil (no issue), <a href="https://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-news/revealed-vincent-van-goghs-brother-3119363">Cornelious Vincent-Cor</a> (no issue). Today I will focus on Theo’s only child Vincent, hopefully later I will have more time to dig into the other offspring of his siblings. Cor died (age 33) volunteering for the Anglo-Boer War, either in action or as a suicide was later suspected.<sup>3<br /></sup></b></span><span><b>
Bare with me as we trudge through the countless Theos and Vincents!! Our Vincent van Gogh’s brother Theo(<sup>1</sup>) had one child…. <a href="https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/knowledge-and-research/research-projects/research-project-biography-of-vincent-willem-van-gogh">Vincent Willem van Gogh</a>(<sup>2</sup>) (named after his love of his brother). Vincent(<sup>2</sup>) was born in Paris, 31 Jan 1890, the same year as Vincent’s(<sup>1</sup>) death, with his own father, Theo(<sup>1</sup>) dying 6 months after Vincent(<sup>1</sup>) at the age of 33! This gives you an idea of Theo’s(<sup>1</sup>) devotion to Vincent(<sup>1</sup>), leaving his wife and 6-month-old to rush to Vincent’s side as he died in Auvers, probably in poor health himself.<br /></b></span><span><b><span>**Not much is mentioned of </span><a href="https://www.theartnewspaper.com/amp/review/van-gogh-s-sister-in-law">Johanna Bonger vanGogh,</a><span> the widow of Theo, except that she and her son worked their whole lives to honor and preserve Vincent’s(</span><sup>2</sup><span>) legacy. That changed recently with the new biography, </span>Everything for Vincent: The Life of Jo van Gogh-Bonger, <span>by Hans Luijten, senior researcher at the Van Gogh Museum.</span><span style="text-align: start; vertical-align: super;">4 </span><span>I’m looking forward to the English translation later this year finding more about this woman who was able to sustain herself and son as a widow in the 19</span><sup>th</sup><span> century!<br /></span></b></span><span><b>
Vincent(<sup>2</sup>), Theo’s son, called “the Engineer” was born 31 Jan 1890 in Paris, and died 28 Jan 1978, in Laren, North Holland, Netherlands. This Vincent(2) continued his mother’s devotion to the legacy of van Gogh by establishing the Van Gogh Foundation in the 1960’s where van Gogh’s collection was transferred. In 1973 the State of the Netherlands designed the <a href="https://vangoghmuseum.nl/">Van Gogh Museum</a> where the collection now resides. This family’s devotion is why we have the amazing amount of his work.<br /></b></span><span><b>
This Vincent(<sup>2</sup>) , son of Theo(<sup>1</sup>)who died at the age of 33, had two boys and a girl….yes, you guessed it, one son was named Theo(<sup>2</sup>). This Theo(<sup>2</sup>) was born 5 Nov 1920 in Amsterdam. My heart skipped a beat when I learned of his execution by the Nazis at the age of 24, 8 Mar 1945. He was a member of the resistance movement. Vincent’s(<sup>2</sup>) oldest son <a href="https://www.theartnewspaper.com/blog/the-astonishing-life-of-johan-van-gogh">Johan</a>, born in 1922 and died 21 Feb, 2019 had a prolific live in the Dutch secret service.<o:p></o:p><span style="text-align: start; vertical-align: super;">5<br /></span></b></span><span><b><span>Johan’s son, yes…another </span><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0324660/">Theo</a><span>(</span><sup>3</sup><span>), was a film director, producer, and </span>actor who was brutally murdered in 2004 by a Dutch Moroccan who was not happy about his outspoken views on Islamic woman’s rights.<span> Yes, there is a book about this murder and its meaning, </span><a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-59420-108-0" style="color: #954f72;" target="_blank">Murder in Amsterdam: The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/Murder%20in%20Amsterdam:%20The%20Death%20of%20Theo%20van%20Gogh%20and%20the%20Limits%20of%20Tolerance" style="color: #954f72;" target="_blank">by Ian Burma. </a><span>Theo’s(3) last film was “06” about the murder (ironically) of an outspoken gay libertarian, Pim Fortuyn.

Theo’s(<sup>3</sup>) son, Lieuwe van Gogh, grandson of Johan, great grandson of Vincent the engineer, and great great grandson of Theo, brother of our Vincent van Gogh, is an ARTIST! Born in 1992 in the Netherlands and is on Facebook! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lieuwe.vangogh" style="color: #954f72;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/lieuwe.vangogh</a> He was only 12 years old when his father was murdered.

To learn more, please click on the many highlighted references!! Go visit the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, MA, or the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, or any other place that has a van Gogh painting on exhibit. A picture never does his work justice. My most moving moment, for me, was at the Boston MFA in 2000 when the exhibit Face to Face, the Portraits (book in picture above) came to Boston. The iconic self-portrait, front and center, and getting very close and seeing the thick strokes of paint then walking slowly further away to see the painting evolve.<br /></b></span><span><b>

Discovering MORE about the past, who we are, what courses through our blood is important for many reasons regardless of whether "you" personally <span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">care or not.

<br />
Yes, there are reasons to fight this past, but it is there and cannot be erased. I am not a racist purely decided because I have predominantly Irish and British heritage, BUT there are many things I have been allowed to <span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">be oblivious of because of my </span>whiteness and privilege<span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">.

<span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Many families, including mine and my wife's were a huge melting pot of culture, and suppressed culture. My step-dad from the age of 6 on was Mexican, my twin sisters 1/2 Mexican, my wife 1/2 Vietnamese, born in Vietnam. My nephews 1/2 black, 1/4 Vietnamese. Who the hell are we all?? Does my embrace of bloodline discoveries demonize other "legitimate" populations? Why? These are valid questions that don't have definitive answers.</span></div>

You will get nowhere by telling me my whiteness means I don't have a clue before you know anything about me. Who is the judge and jury? No one seems to care that what is genuine is Elizabeth Warren's family story. She distances herself from tribal councils probably because it will be viewed as her attempt to claim something she doesn't want to do because how it will look. What the hell is she supposed to do when everyone has a different opinion about what is the right thing to do?<br />

<span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">What defines families for better or worse through many generations is what we are talking about. It's a huge mucky mess, but we should talk about it. </span>As a genealogist it's a double edged sword. Oral histories are wonderful starting points that many times turn out to be not what they seem.

<span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><br />Sally Hemmings had children with Thomas Jefferson proven through extensive research, </span>AND DNA. That is important to history. Documentation aided by DNA testing can be very important tools. Diluting this by trying to say her descendants can't claim blackness or whiteness is a silly argument. Elizabeth Warren will probably be able to find the exact grandfather or mother, in time, who was full blood indigenous, it may prove to be Mexican indigenous, Cherokee indigenous or many of the other tribes that were forced into Oklahoma by white settlers, but not all whites. It's a messed up stew to make huge generalities. What is White? That term is a slippery slop. <br />
<br />
How much blood is enough? DNA is a starting point to lead to more documentation, not a diffinitive test like all the testing sites claim it to be. They were in the business of selling kits with bad marketing ideas. We are all paying for this greed.</div>

<span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">How much blood is enough can never be answered, </span>but yet we all seem to have an opinion on that. Why is the Dawes Roll, which was a government controlled census, used to <span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">determine authentic Cherokee admittance to the Cherokee Nation when </span>history tells us how many people rejected this "white man's" census and were not counted? Why is this the gauge for purity? How do we all understand and parcel out heritage and culture? Are they definitively separate and un-mutable? Much of this is taken out of historical context. Much of this is about helping a deeply depressed population have access to more opportunities.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br />
How do we meld all the good intentions together without demagoguing individuals with good intentions? I have lots of questions, while everyone around me seems to have deep opinions that don't answer these questions. At least, not in ways that speak to a large swath of the population that is trying to understand this and not loose more connections to people.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">I understand we are dealing with a hugely, enormous problem with a </span>disparaged indigenous population that is on reservations. We are also dealing with people who want to use ethnic cleansing using this info for harm. I'm not going to say "so and so" is an expert on all of this, because quite frankly it could not be more complicated for experts as well. But, we do need to listen. All we have that is genuine and human is intent. Does a person intend harm with claiming a heritage ever so distant? <span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">We can call a person on their mistakes and ask for a</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">dialog</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">about what </span>this brings up. BUT, what has happened here is the ugliest form of tribalism from all sides. I hate joining clubs, religions, social groups. <br />
<br />
I have many reasons based on "heritage" to belong to soldier groups from the most prestigious to common ones among big wars. I come from a long line of warrior patriots that were very white. I don't need to join an exclusive <o:p></o:p>club to honor them because they had </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">other attributes I'm not so proud of. BUT, that is not why I don't join. </span>It's a huge complicated mess for me that causes me anxiety. I'm uncomfortable with people wanting to join the Mayflower Society. But, I don't see why people can't celebrate this heritage, even though it is white, represents people who clashed with the native population. I think people would join the Iroquois Confederacy Society if they could prove lineage, and it existed. You can honor the past and see it's horrors as well. It's when used as a weapon to suppress people that we have an issue. BUT, for some damn reason we can't seem to parcel out the differences. We judge...it's our damn nature.<br />
<br />
What we need is MORE space to be authentic to our experiences, not less. <br />
<br />
Thank you, Joseph, for sharing your experiences. I'm hoping to spread your authenticity a little further. Cheers!</div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">I've read both Ron Chernow's book on Hamilton and Susan Isenberg's book on Burr and have concluded that both Burr and Hamilton were just as complex characters as Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton, well know for his duel challenges, and Burr well know for his aversion to dueling. Yet, there they were in Weehawken, NJ doing what irrational men do when their history of conflict reaches a boiling point.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">We can debate many aspects of Hamilton and Burr, but I would like to focus on Aaron Burr's relationship with his only child, Theodosia, and the tragedy of her very short life.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">One thing I found fascinating about Burr and his relationship with his young daughter was their practice of writing daily letters to each other. Regardless of whether they were apart or together. I have been using this practice with my son. I have to say it has been a tremendous bonding experience that I hope to continue as long as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">Say what you will about Aaron Burr, but his devotion to making sure his daughter had every educational opportunity available to her was surprising for the time. Not only that, Burr opened his home to foreign struggling artists and guests of all varieties, including Mohawk chief Joseph Brant<sup>1</sup>,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>giving Theodosia an upbringing many woman would have cherished for it's progressive atmosphere. Not to mention the family background of philosophical and religious thought. Aaron Burr was the son of a minister who was a president of Princeton. His maternal grandfather was the famed Rev Jonathan Edwards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">With this ready made lineage it's not a wonder why Alexander Hamilton may have felt defensive of his rocky family lineage and foreign birth, possibly feeling he had to work ten times harder than those of privilege. Not an excuse, but a possible window into his "chip on the shoulder" attitude that had him challenging several individuals to duels, including the father-in-law of Albert Gallatin, Commodore James Nicholson. Hamilton was a Federalist in the New York City area surrounded by up and coming Jeffersonian Republicans such as Gallatin, Nicholson, and Burr, with Clinton and Livingston seeing less influence in NY politics. It's easy to imagine Hamilton seeing a connected vision to unseat Federalist, and against him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">The irony of Theodosia's upbringing cannot be more devastating than when, at age 17, she chose to marry a rich older man, whom by most counts she didn't really love or hardly knew, all to save her father from massive debt. Theodosia married Joseph Alston from South Carolina who was a wealthy plantation owner. Add to that the sale of her family estate to John Jacob Astor who parceled off the land, sold it for a huge profit establishing his rags to riches climb from fur trapper to entrepreneur, all under the eyes of Aaron Burr and his loss of status throughout his life<sup>2</sup>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">His beloved Theodosia died at sea, age 29. While the duel with Alexander Hamilton started his downward spiral, it's hard to image surviving the loss of a beloved wife (1794), [remember the duel was in 1804] the trial for treason 1807, his daughter's death 1813, and his living until 1836, thus losing his entire past.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: 14pt;">I'm reminded when studying history that people are just as complex as I, sometimes much more so, but it is up to us to dig deep enough for a true glimpse into human beings, their flaws and their strengths.</span></div>

<br />
I'm not one that sees the world through the generic astrological charts of time, yet I do pay attention to the phenomenon that is astrology. Something that many people do not realize, astrology is the intricate mathematical study of planetary alignments. You can ignore it completely and live a very full life. I chose to learn from everything life has to offer. For me, I find specifics in astrology that are hard to deny. Generalities abound when you know very little about astrology. Your sun sign is that generality, and you will find that definitions are way too misleading. You actually have many aspects to your chart that have significant influence, melded together giving you an interesting picture of planetary influence.<br />
<br />
Most of July is the month of Cancer, the crab, the tribal self. The planetary alignment of our country, if you use the event, July 4, 1776, 12 Midnight in Philadelphia, gives you 13 planetary alignments through a time continuum. As a planet with many water signs we are a sensitive, tribal nation that the world sees as petulant, immature, and spoiled. So, let's look at the chart.<br />
<br />
No surprise is the sun sign of Cancer, but also the strength of finding Mercury, Venus and Jupiter also in the house of Cancer. Lots of water signs that represent feminine energy within, tribal, familial energy, and a hard shell to protect that sensitive, loyal self that can be stubborn. I'm no expert, by any means, but I've learned a lot over the years by speaking to experts in the field, being surprised to find many that are very grounded, analytical, and more mathematician than spiritualist.<br />
<br />
Something that is not talked about, in generic zodiac sun sign horoscopes, is the rising sign, which is how you are perceived to be, many times not reflecting your true inner self. For the United States of America, our birth of July 4, 1776, we are an Aries rising, fitting perfectly into how we are perceived as petulant, immature, and spoiled by the world, yet courageous and impulsive.<br />
<br />
On this important celebration day of Liberty, and the deaths of two of our most important founders, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, let us remind ourselves,of our true inner sovereignty that reflects our collective human family that is unlike any other country. Let us celebrate our feminine wisdom at our core. We will prevail against the tyranny we face and rise above our history of inner struggles for liberty, equality, and responsibility to life and the pursuit of happiness.<br />
<br />
Happy 4th America!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We recently learned of the death of an iconic American historian, Ira Berlin. I would like to delve into what you don't know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Ira Berlin</b> born May 27, 1941 in New York was the son of Louis Berlin and Sylvia Toby (Lebwohl). Louis Berlin, Ira's father, was born in Russia in 1914 just prior to the Russia Revolution in 1917. Ira's grandfather, Morris, immigrated to New York in 1912 and the family followed in 1917. There's a story there, but I could find no immediate immigration records (for a latter project). The influx of Russian Jewish immigration to America around this time came from the Pale Settlement. This was western Russia in current day Latvia,Lithuania, and Poland. Not enough study of Russian history, especially Jewish Russian history is taught in our schools. It is important, and even more so today, to understand our own large Jewish American population. Interesting enough, you can learn a lot from another scholarly Berlin on philosophy, Russian history, and British/American alliances during WWII, Sir Isaiah Berlin. His history is worthy of another article! He is a scholar amongst scholars!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Progressive socialist movements were well instanced in this area of New York dating as early as the 1930's. The famous Rosenberg trial began in 1951, ending with the couples execution in 1953. Their connection to Robert Meeropol (link above on Meeropol's name to my previous article) and W.E.B. Dubois leds to intriguing assumptions, I wish Professor Berlin were alive, to discuss. The entire black and Jewish population in New York City and it's suburbs had to have been under great tensions during this McCarthy era time.</span></div>

I love it when you have a writing remembrance of place and time that gives you other gifts. In my previous post, on my early readings of historical fiction, I discussed the influence James Michener had on me. <a href="https://historicalgenealogy.blogspot.com/2018/05/connections-to-historical-fiction-in-my.html">Connections to Historical Fiction</a> Every morning I have my ritual dog walk along the ocean and Michener tapped me hard on the shoulder and presented me with something I have forgotten about for years. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always been drawn to the ocean and have chosen to live as close by as possible. While living in the Boston area I lived between the ocean and a marsh. I now live between an ocean and a marsh... go figure. Michener was a lover of the environment and ended his book the <i>Chesapeake </i>with the migration of Canadian geese. I have had a relationship with Canadian Geese ever since reading that book. In Boston, where I lived, the return and leaving of the seasons meant "the Canadians", as I called them collectively, would return to me to say there hellos before going on their journey. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After some turbulent years of massive changes in my life I lost track of "my Canadians". They may have been there, but I wasn't noticing. After publishing my previous post to the world, I had my ritual dog walk. The video is above. "My Canadians!" They came back to me with a message from Michener. I chose to interpret the message to be, "keep writing, keep valuing your feelings, and stop and see the glories before you". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks, James Michener!<br /><div>

<br /></div>
Recently, a discussion came up about how I became interested in the study of history. My focus is on knowing as much about history as possible to inform genealogical research more deeply, and an obsession with studying slavery and race in particular. I believe it is our duty as humans to learn as much as possible about what our passions are, how they mold us, and how we can use our knowledge to serve the betterment of society. The difficulty with this type of journey is following this passion while providing enough to live a life unencumbered by worry about how to pay bills, emergencies, healthcare, etc. We all are challenged by what we love and what we do. When the two can meet harmoniously, you have a blessed life, indeed. I'm not there yet, but it's my dream.<br />
<br />
So, in thinking about who influenced my love of history, the first name that came up for me was <b>James Michener</b>. His style of historical fiction spoke to me and has informed how I look at the world in many ways. This connection may run more deeply within my DNA than I could have ever imagined.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfyMEoKllYnJGWRaccaU4ZnsLbHjQQTkSXsEL7SnLbA4hKKX_RX1Q1Lg1NlUtFAGrwCkvW8Ouh5GH7ZUreDwz1XFa1AqY7CBRvx6JGV1U5CRcvpg4O0ve2EQ9ROPNUEjoseTAe4FINI-sO/s1600/7995.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="250" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfyMEoKllYnJGWRaccaU4ZnsLbHjQQTkSXsEL7SnLbA4hKKX_RX1Q1Lg1NlUtFAGrwCkvW8Ouh5GH7ZUreDwz1XFa1AqY7CBRvx6JGV1U5CRcvpg4O0ve2EQ9ROPNUEjoseTAe4FINI-sO/s320/7995.jpg" width="231" /></a></div>
<br />
I consistently get taken aback when serendipitous events coincide. My favorite Michener book was <i>Chesapeake</i>. Spending a bit of time asking myself why this book specifically amongst his many, I found genealogical and historical answers. Chesapeake, like all of Michener's books, begins with a place, city, state, or country. While this sounds simple, Michener proceeds to teach you the history, through the eyes of fictitious and historical characters, of a place from it's beginnings to the present. This book begins in 1500's Virginia along the Chesapeake Bay area with the native population. If you have read any of my previous posts on my 7th great grandfather (William <a href="https://historicalgenealogy.blogspot.com/2016/11/wicocomino-native-lineage.html">Taptico lineage</a>), who was the last "chief" (Americanized name) of the Wicocomico tribe (which ceased to exist after Taptico's death in 1719), you know Michener was writing about the very region of my family heritage, that I knew nothing about when reading this book. I traveled, back in 2003, to the specific area where my ancestors lived, not far from the Pawmunkey Reservation of today. Mostly open fields, undeveloped, I walked silently and wept. I don't know why I'm such a sap, but I have learned to own it over the years and not be ashamed. <br />
<br />
I had a similar experience in Lisbon at a monastery and feel I need to delve into that research because I have suspicions there is a connection to the two. Yes, I'm crazy! We're not quite there DNA wise, but I did have a Iberian peninsula connection which makes sense with all of the probable invasions to the Chesapeake area from early Spanish and Portuguese ships. My test proved the Taptico lineage by matching the exact chromosome at the exact location on that chromosome to many of the male direct descendant alive today and silenced all the controversy that permeated a long fight within the Tapp family. A large contingency, wanting desperately to be descended from British white ancestors. And, believe me, historians of the past used documents within early VA records to try and fit Taptico into being a British man given an honorary "king" title from the Wicocomico tribe. Believe it or not, some still refuse to acknowledge the native lineage even with the striking DNA before them. But...I digress... <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Back to wondering about Michener's genealogy. Wow! James Michener was adopted and never knew who were his parents. No one knows, as far as I can ascertain....hmmm...<br />
<br />
In 2000, my journey into genealogical research began to devour my thoughts most relevantly when my grandmother was dying. I became consumed with longing for who I was and whose lives and histories came before me. Couple this with my life long pull towards historical study and you get a meaningful lifelong passion personified. When I analyze my other historical fiction author, John Jakes, I continue to find not only genealogical parallels, but historical pulls as well. John Jakes mythological character, Phillipe Kent, has a family genealogy that is followed throughout many volumes, who is a bastard of a poor French woman and an English Lord. I am a bastard and this story melded my fantasies of a similar story for myself as I knew nothing about the father that abandoned me. Phillipe begins his journey by searching out his father, just as mine did in 2000. Phillipe was disappointed in what he found and because of the chaos that ensues jumps on a ship to Boston. In 1989, I left the south behind and moved to Boston to start a new life. Phillipe ends up having his life, and the lives of his lineage, entwined with American history. The characters in american history that touch the fictitious<br />
<br />
What led me to Michener, after Jakes, was Jakes treatment in his verse of gays, slaves, and lower class citizens in, what I viewed as, a very prejudice manner, but at least he had these characters. Jakes first volume was published in 1974 (I didn't read them until later). Michener wrote better and seemed to be far advanced for his views on progressive ideas, yet avoided the characterization pitfalls I found in Jakes works as far as I can remember. They were products of their times for sure.<br />

<br />
<br />
In the midst of all of this came <i>Roots! </i>My southern history classes bored me to tears when discussing the Civil War era. Why? Dates, battles, generals, deaths, statistics was the focus. Seeing the mini-series <b style="font-style: italic;">Roots</b> changed everything. I avoided the period and focused on American history before 1850. Roots made me loathe any study of the Civil War because it was fake to me! No one wanted to talk about slavery, then lynching, then human rights. But, you could talk about the history of the "Civil War". Last year changed everything for me. I went to a conference on...."slavery and abolition", yes, not the Civil War. That conference impacted me just the way reading Michener and seeing Roots did. <br />

<br />
<br />
Historians of this period are doing profound work today! I can't say that enough! It's an exciting time, but it's also a difficult time. Why? It will require acknowledgement that this country has done horrible things for all the wrong reasons, but it is our history and we must acknowledge it, learn from it, and make sure we move forward with reverence for what that knowledge has taught us, AND continues to teach us. Never forget! <br />
<br />
While the historical field is exploding, so is the time for the genealogical field to walk hand in hand. There is so much to learn from one another. Slavery made genealogy difficult. Genealogy relies heavily on documentation, but always searches for the oral histories, which take work to meld into source material. This is the time to record those histories in the black community. There are still people who are alive that have stories to share about their parents or grandparents who were slaves. There is another part of history that is not discussed much that I would like to see more focus on, <b>culture shaming</b>. In the early stages of immigration in the very late 1800's on through to today, it was the norm to withhold pride of your heritage. Many first generation families who grew up in the 50's through the 80's were led to believe their heritage was <b>un-American</b> (there is a resurgence of this happening today and it must be resisted). Languages were not passed down, traditions, if passed down, were kept within the family, feeling shame at sharing their traditions with outsiders, etc.. We all loose, heavily, with this lack of reverence for heritage and history.<br />
<br />
I know this post is turning preachy, I'm sorry, but this is how I write posts, going with the flow of feelings. We are at a point where we can follow a path of admiring, recording, and documenting truth in all its dimensions. THAT is exciting to me, but it is frightening to those who are entrenched in deception. This is what happens in regimes. We have a choice: we can embrace the difficulty of the past, reshape the future, and follow the difficult, bumpy road of uncertainty OR we can allow our voices to be silenced, chose not to get involved, chose to look the other way, WHICH is so much easier. What shall we do? For now, I'm going to study history, even if I can't make money doing it, and seek truth. <br />

So, back to Michener's genealogy. Without exhuming his grave, I must.....find....his....parents!<br />
My musings for the day! <br />

The more you learn about people, the era they lived, and collect information that may help now or in the future, the more your understanding of history and genealogy explodes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have been watching season one of the BBC Masterpiece series <i>Victoria</i> over the last few weeks when my radar was tweaked with Prince Albert's German family heritage. Namely, <a href="http://www.almanachdegotha.org/id55.html">Saxe-Coburg and Gotha</a> as I knew there might be a connection to Indiana. Indiana?? Specifically, New Harmony, Indiana! What??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What peaked my interest was Albert's speech before the June 1840 <a href="http://www.historiansagainstslavery.org/main/the-world-antislavery-convention-of-1840/">World Anti-Slavery Convention</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Albert was quite the impressive influence on Queen Victoria, and England in general, for that matter. Had he lived longer, he died at 42, we may have seen more of his involvement in the american slavery issues, and his involvement with industrial progress. As to the latter, he became involved with the Great Exhibition of Industry or the Great Exhibition in 1851 which he solely is credited. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At the World Anti-Slavery Convention in 1840 his path crossed with William Lloyd Garrison who chose to sit with the women (Stanton, Lucretia Mott, etc) who were not allowed on the main floor to speak or vote. This doesn't mean they met at all, but to be a fly on the wall! I would love to have known his reaction to Garrison's boldness! His involvement in the Great Exhibition in London with his colleagues at the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce show the depth of Albert's social commitments in his short life. Fellows of this Royal Society (RSA)were Charles Dickens, Ben Franklin, Karl Marx, Adam Smith, and Stephen Hawkings to name a few. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">While finishing up this article I went to a lecture at the Yale Gilder Lehrman Center by British scholar Anita Rupprecht on <i>Liberated Africans: Indenture and Resistance</i>. I talked to her after the lecture and discussed, among many things, the painting by Nat Turner of the wrecked slave ship from 1840. I mentioned the time correlation with the 1840 World Anti-slavery Convention mentioned above. She told me that the postmaster, I believe, in her town in Brighton is a descendant of one of the men in this Convention painting. You see how the world puts me into serendipitous situations!! Brilliant woman! I hope to read her writings in the future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So what about Indiana? It's a stretch, but jump with me into the rabbit hole, shall we?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had read somewhere a while back that a royal duke (the Duke of Saxe-Weimar) had been to New Harmony, Indiana back in the 1820's. So I was motived to find out how he actually got there. There were several Duke's of Saxe-Weimar and I had to find the right one. This was Bernard! Yes, royalty is complicated, but I wondered if there were any connections between Albert (husband of Queen Victoria) and Bernie (haha! not that Bernie) Bernard, Duke of Saxe-Weimar. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">New Harmony, Indiana has a rich heritage of progressive movements, specifically utopian societies, both religious, and secular. It was quite the draw in the 1800's. My 4th great grandfather ran a store for the Rapp Society in the early 1800's, my 5th great grandfather helped the Rapp family secure the land in New Harmony, and was friends with many of the visitors to Robert Owen's intellectual experiment, i.e. Frances Wright, Charles Alexander Lesueuer (who drew a picture of my ancestor and his home in Vincennes). I know...I digress...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 1825 and 1826 Bernard, Duke of <a href="http://www.almanachdegotha.org/id52.html">Saxe-Weimar-Eisenbach</a> (Germany/Belguim, etc), son of the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, Karl Augustus (life long friend of Goethe), toured America. Did you know that? You may or may not know that in 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette also toured America, and in 1831 Alexander Tocqueville, and yes there were other dignitary trips during this time period, many for that matter. The Lafayette and Tocqueville tours are more well know and documented. Why is Bernard's tour important, yet not well known? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Well, this Duke, Karl Bernard, the son of the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenbach (Karl Augustus) wrote <a href="https://ia800206.us.archive.org/4/items/travelsthroughno12bern/travelsthroughno12bern.pdf">Travels Through North America 1825-1826</a>, published in English in 1828. The internet is a mecca of amazing things if you really dig. This 2 volume journal is extremely extensive and descriptive, with many names, places, and details of life in America and free to read online (just click on the link above)! Yes, free. In reading this journal I found much that pre-dates Tocqueville, who came to study the prison systems in America. I wonder if Tocqueville read Bernard's journal, and if so did it influence his tour, as Bernard toured many prisons and wrote extensively about them. Did Bernard find his influence in Lafayette's tour that barely predated his own? Probably, not. Did Albert, also, read Bernard's published travels as well as Lafayette's? Digging for a future project. AND...should we not have an international delegation of study of today's American prison systems?? Crap...I'm not supposed to get political in this post 😏</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Bernard's travel journal is amazingly detailed from landing in Boston and visiting John Adams, less than a year before his death, John Quincy Adams (in DC) and his son, Charles, at Harvard (father of Henry Adams), his inquiry about Frances Wright and her published letters on America and the scathing feelings about her in Boston and America in general (seeing how a strong, independent woman is vilified and ridiculed, influencing his views), Henry Clay, and many well known and not so well know people of the time. What is most relevant are the countless names of people who may be of genealogical interest to people. I don't think an index to this book exists, if so that would be of great value. The two volumes are an interesting read. Bernard spent much of his journeys visiting prisons (which is why I wonder about his possible influence on Tocqueville), churches of many different faiths, his views on slavery after visiting the south extensively, museums, athenaeums, societies, military institutions, etc. This journal is a very interesting read, yet not for those who can't slog through 19th century writing! His journeys on stage coaches, especially in Georgia, are quite fascinating! Bernard also spends time in Canada, Quebec and Montreal most specifically. The first 50 or so pages are details about his voyage from Ghent to Boston.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Back to a German/Belguim connection. Bernard's son, William Augustus Edward was naturalized as a British subject and became the aide de-camp to Queen Victoria and Colonel in the Army in 1855, and fought in the Crimean War. Whether these two dynasties of Weimar and Coburg enjoyed each others company or had any connections during Albert's short reign (he died tragically of Pneumonia at the age of 42) I have yet to discover specific connections. The two family connections are distant and of minor royalty compared to Britain, but both date back to the illustrious <a href="http://www.almanachdegotha.org/id34.html">House of Wettin dynasty.</a> Someday I hope to find a closer brush with these two families.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Bernard's travels through Pennsylvania, especially the German areas, list lots of minor clergy and common people who might turn up in someone's German PA heritage. An example:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So...you see how just a glimpse of a TV show sends me down interesting paths! We forget to study the German houses of royalty and their influences not just economically and politically, but on philosophical thought, via Goethe<span style="font-size: xx-small;">4</span>, Kant, and Schiller. As to motives of these travels, you can learn more about current speculation on the subject via several current articles. <a href="http://www.academia.edu/2822089/Imagining_North_America_Nineteenth_Century_German_Travel_Writers_and_Cultural_Transfer">Jefferson Dillman, for example, has a good one in reference to this motive found on-line</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;">5. </span>It's clear in reading Bernard's journal that he had many a preconceived views and was influenced by many American biases of the time which makes for an interesting glimpse of the times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">North America has a rich heritage of connections throughout the world, but history tends to focus on larger North American connections unrelated to the rest of the world. One's ancestry is not always the only focus. When you add historical context to the time period, your ancestors and their world are much easier to understand. Generalities leave loads of very interesting facts out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You may say, "So WHAT?" Oh, contraire! I would argue, a lack of understanding of little events melded with the big events has kept us from lifting up our heritage and other countries, and I mean even the bad facts, to a deeper understanding and richness that will benefit us all. Fear has in stanched a sugar coated history that has very little to do with reality. This harms us all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So....where were your ancestor in the mid 1820's? How about the 19th century in general? Might you get a glimpse of the time and events around their lives by reading the Travels of Duke Bernard? Do you have German or Quaker immigrants to Pennsylvania? Or possibly the enamor of New Harmony, Indiana on artist, geologist, philosophers, naturalist, etc.?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This article is by no means thorough in it's research, it's just a starting point for more discussion and digging. Now...about that painting above of the 1840 Anti-Slavery convention. Benjamin Robert Haydon, painter, apparently wrote extensively about art and his own life. He became despondent and committed suicide. I must read his autobiography. See my problem!!!</span><br />

This woman should be in every history book! Her daring exploits as a surgeon, yes, I said surgeon!.. during the civil war on the frontlines, serving both Union and Confederate wounded, being captured by Confederates, and insisting on wearing men's attire, because who can do her work in a dress? Where's her movie???<br />
<br />
Mary Edwards born 26 Nov 1823 in Oswego, Oswego, New York. Mary married , she died 21 Oct 1919 in Oswego, Oswego, New York. Oswego was a pivotal town during and before the Civil War as a port city for the Underground Railroad. This area surrounding Oswego; Syracuse, Rochester (home of Frederick Douglass), Mexico (yes, there's a city in NY by that name), Seneca Falls (home of the Women's Suffrage movement); was a stepping off point to travel to Canada for runaway slaves.<br />
<br />
I hope to someday, in my spare time, which I have little, look into her families connections to the movement or not. There were those with moderate wealth living in the area that were not on the abolition and women's suffrage bandwagon, believe it or not. <br />
<br />
Today, I celebrate this brave soul who had more cojones than most men! Cheers, Doc!!Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06454085343719067767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021543921591570417.post-27115318859437376102018-03-12T12:43:00.002-04:002018-03-12T12:50:24.890-04:00Genealogy has a History, Race, and Gender ProblemThis post will ruffle many a feathers, but it is through dialogue and questions that we learn and grow. That doesn't matter the venue or topic. So...how does genealogy have such a big problem? Let's do a parallel comparison of a few important features of genealogy organizations and topics in general. I'll stick to a few and hope that this will open a dialogue that can help us all move forward as genealogist, family history seekers, AND historians. <br />
<br />
I will say this over and over again until enough people listen: History and genealogy study should always involve each other. I know....but I have to focus on a specific area! Yes you do, but it should not leave out either angle, nor be selective history. Dates, pension files, census records, archives, etc. help us understand our subjects to a point. Knowing historical context, and I mean digging deeply into historical events and people around our ancestors, is crucial to develop the best picture of our subjects, especially involving race and gender. Why?<br />
<br />
Ok...let's dig a little deeper. I descend from many Revolutionary War soldiers, I mean many. One, (possibly two-I'm digging into proving the other), served as an officer from Virginia under George Washington, died of his wounds from the battle of Brandywine. I qualify for membership in the Virginia Society of the Cincinnati (a big deal). (The Cincinnati Society is only open to "men-only" who descend from an officer of Washington). I've toiled over my reluctance to join for over 15 years. Why my reluctance?<br />
<br />
Another, was at every major battle ( serving in Pennsylvania (from NJ), was even on a privateer ship in Philadelphia, moved to North Carolina via his land grant, sold it and moved to Tennessee. Nine others, that I won't go into details about, but suffice it to say I qualify many times over to be in the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) in many states. Why do I not jump for joy and join these Societies?? Because I don't feel right about it. I don't feel like celebrating this heritage in that manor. Why should we? My Society of the Cincinnati Membership would be taunted with slave blood. Yes, that is part of my genealogical heritage, so I don't feel much like excluding that part, and I don't quite feel it should be just male descendants, but that was how it was set up.<br />
<br />
We need to stop making this such a big deal, in my opinion. Why? It's very white and very exclusionary, and really not that important over other ancestors and events, other than the historical significance. I know, feathers are ruffled!! There is great pride in that membership to many, Mayflower, Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution, Cincinnati Society, etc... So what? There are many, many descendants of these organizations. It's great, but not that big a deal! Why would I dare say that? Because, most people I talk to who descend from people such as the Mayflower say things like, "oh...my genealogy is done. I'm a Mayflower descendant." Or, "I'm done. I descend from Charlemagne!" It has an air of privilege. I usually give them a quizzical look and say, tell me about the history around those ancestors? All of your ancestry goes through Charlemagne or the Mayflower or the American Revolution? How convenient. <br />
<br />
How many members of these societies are Black? Native American? How many conversations do you have about the history around these families?<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daughters_of_the_American_Revolution">DAR as late as 1984 barred blacks from membership. Read section "</a>Segregation and exclusion of African-Americans"<br />
<br />
Granted, this line of questioning alone doesn't bond me to folks, but I try to follow it up with real information, such as "you know the 5 generations of the Mayflower descendants have been complete for some time, is there any interesting ancestors on your other lines that may not be so famous? Where did they live? What events in history surrounded them? Were they near towns where Lafayette had his American tour in 1825? Were they in the North or the South during the Civil War? Were they religious, members of the American Colonization Society or any of the numerous organizations around Colonization, Abolition, Women's Suffrage? Have you ever thought of researching the slaves of your ancestors, if they owned them? <br />
<br />
These important questions open up dialogue that turns into great investigations on both parties, if willing. I love what I can learn and possibly open up for others to research. Most of all, I love being able to change a persons view of genealogy and it's importance to historical study. It's VERY important. Do you know how many people think that their surname research is more important or only what they want to look into? We have numerous surnames, and every time you add a woman to your tree you add a new family and a new history to dig into. How awesome is that? I know you don't have a lot of time, but this doesn't have to be done right away. What it does is open your view to having more information jump out at you in libraries, bookstores, people you meet that have the same last name as your 5th great grandmother. Your world explodes with possibilities for dialogue, great conversations, and friendships.<br />
<br />
The most divisive time in our history was the Civil War. Many, many of us were taught this history as it related to battles and precursory information about the complexities of slavery. Most importantly we are facing a factual challenge to the believe that it was all about states rights. The American Colonization Society was formed and organized by many who were adamant about the evils of slavery while being racist, i.e..believing that blacks were inferior to whites. Many in this same organization believed that blacks would never be treated well in this country, so it was best to remove them, many believed removing the free blacks would keep the slaves from uprising. This was just in one organization, and there were many, many other organizations. Many clashed over ideology. Was your ancestor an abolitionist that lived in the south? It happened. It's complicated, discouraging, fascinating, enormously relevant to what is happening in this country today! If your interested in your genealogy how can you ignore history?<br />
<br />
Sorry that I am coming down so hard on Genealogy. History as we have taught it, and are still in some areas, is misguiding, downright wrong, and sometimes at best, barely touches the surface of knowledge. Historians and historical publications, dialogues are really doing a great job today at facing these tough tasks. I have yet to see this really done in the genealogical field. If I am wrong, let's discuss and point me to the conventions that are tackling these topics.<br />
<br />
I just ask, next time you think about your pride in membership in a Society, who is left out, and what are you really celebrating? Who else in your genealogy may need just as much pride and celebration? My discoveries surrounding these same questions have been enormous! I only wish the same for you all!!<br />

This one is fascinating! I ran across a branch of the Hayden family of early Windsor, CT that has an interesting name in the family. The name caught my eye, as a classical musician, so I dug deeper.<br />
<br />
<b>Dr. Handel Mozart Hayden</b> (Dentist) born 4 Dec 1807 in Baltimore, MD was the son of <b><a href="https://www.fauchard.org/publications/11-dr-horace-henry-hayden">Dr. Horace Henry Hayden,</a> pictured above</b>(born in Windsor, CT) who was the co-founder of the first dental school in the world (Baltimore College of Dental Surgery), and <b>Maria Antoinette Robinson </b>of Dover, DE. Handel and his father Horace had a surgeon dental business, H. Hayden and Son, at SE corner of Mulberry and Charles Streets in Baltimore City (listed as such in the Baltimore city directories 1835-38). Dr. Handel M. Hayden continues to be listed in the city directories at various addresses in Baltimore up through 1881. Handel died 7 Mar 1891 in Baltimore.<br />
<br />
I have visions of people in the dental office of H. Hayden and Son being distracted (I'm sure the noise of primitive dentistry was pretty ghastly)by the music of Haydn, Mozart, and Handel. I'm sure the son heard many a joke at his own expense. Oh, to be a fly on the wall!<br />
<br />
<b>Dr. Handel Mozart Hayden</b> was a dentist during the Civil War in Baltimore which must have been a trying experience considering the mangled bodies he must have seen. <br />
<br />
His father, <b>Dr. Horace Hayden</b>, influenced to study dentistry by George Washington's dentist, John Greenwood with whom he studied with in 1795 in NYC, served as a surgeon in Baltimore in the War of 1812 and later publishing the first work on geology, <i>Geological Essays</i>, printed in the US. He was an authority on geology and mineralogy. Damn!<br />
<br />
AND, there is another <b><a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/128640708">Handel Mozart Hayden</a></b> of Randolph, Vermont from the same early Windsor, Hayden family. <br />

Their new app "We're Related" has been out for a while now. At first I just laughed as some of the ludicrous leaps that were made to show how I was related to celebrities of all shapes and sizes. Most, up until recently, I could discount right away as they are plugging in mother connections for several generations that just don't vibe. I just could not find proof of any connection. Not a good marketing tool for Ancestry credibility. But, I tried to look through the muck and see if anything vibed.<br />
<br />
When they started to get a bit closer in cousin connections I started to do some investigating. Right here and now I'll say I'm not too happy😞. Ok...I was happy with Elvis, Jimmy Carter, James Dean, Brad Pitt, and Kate Blanchett, all of whom seem to line up with my research, yet distant relations.<br />
<br />
I grew up in the south so I prepared myself, somewhat, for what surprise "ding" I would get. There it was.....<b>Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter</b>. Crap! That just cannot be. Then, I reminded myself that ideology is not necessarily inherited or passed down😩. My immediate family, for the most part, were conservative republicans, except for Pappa, my step great grandfather. Somehow, even though I was raised by my grandparents, I ended up mostly a radical, liberal, socialist, etc... I hate labels, so if you must...pick one. My bio mom was progressive to say the least, which gave her mother great consternation. I'm still grappling with her extreme IQ and mental illness and just how wrong her life has been treated. I digress....<br />
<br />
So, Newtie isn't Newt. Turns out he changed his name and he's possibly my 6th cousin, 2xs removed on my mother's father's German side.😮 One of my projects, that I need to jump into more now, is on a Civil War Union soldier from PA, my 2nd great grandfather, and his wife who was a nurse in the Civil War in PA. My connection to Newt is through this nurse's mother, Sarah Follmer. Her great grand father Hans Michael Follmer/Vollmar married Ragina Magdalena (last name unknown) my 7th great grandmother. Magdalena was used often in German heritage.<br />
Ragina/Regina was born 18 Jun 1730 in Tulpehocken, Berks Co., PA and died 18 Aug 1813 in Milton, Northumberland Co., PA. <br />
<a href="https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/12046517?h=009cc4">Regina Magdalena Follmer</a><br />
<br />
Ragina/Regina and Hans Michael Follmer had Elizabeth Follmer (Newt's supposed 4th great grandmother) and Adam Follmer (my 6th great grandfather, thus 2xs removed). Elizabeth and Adam were brother and sister.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now, Newt's real name is Newton</span><sup style="font-family: -webkit-standard, serif;">5</sup><span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> (Newton Searles</span><sup style="font-family: -webkit-standard, serif;">4</sup><span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">,

McPherson. From there his connection to me is through William McPherson's maternal line. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Ann Coulter is my direct 5th cousin. Deep breath....runs out of room screaming😖😒😱</span><br />
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">My maternal grandmother's, who raised me as her own child, paternal grandmother was Amanda Nance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Ann Coulter's mother was Nell Husbands Martin. Her mother was Nell Warner, who's mother was Nellie Nance, and our mutual Nance line begins. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Nellie Nance was the daughter of Joseph Monroe Nance who's father was Clement Nance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Clement was the brother of Daniel Nance, my 3rd great grandfather. Making Ann Coulter and I direct 5th cousins. I need a drink....</span><br />

WHAT??? <br />
<br />
It turns out that Elvis may have two Native American lines in his genealogy. One is also my Tapp/Taptico line from the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia, see my previous post on this line: <a href="https://historicalgenealogy.blogspot.com/2017/03/dna-detective-work.html">DNA detective work</a> and <a href="https://historicalgenealogy.blogspot.com/2008/02/advantages-of-knowing-your-past.html">Advantages of knowing your past</a><br />
<br />
Here's why Elvis is not really a Presley, but a <b>Wallace</b>!<br />
<br />
<u>Elvis Aaron Presley</u> born 8 Jan 1935 and died 16 Aug 1977 in Tupelo, Lee County, MS. <br />
Father: <u>Vernon Elvis Presley</u> born 10 Apr 1916 and died 26 Jun 1979 in Fulton, MS.<br />
Grandfather: <u>Jessie D. McDowell Presley</u> born 9 Apr 1896 and died 19 Apr 1973.<br />
<br />
Here's where the family tree diverges **Great Grandfather: <b><u>John Henry Wallace</u> </b>born about Aug 1853 and died about Nov 1935 in Itawamba County, MS, had several children with Rosella Elizabeth Presley born 16 Feb 1861 and died 30 Jul 1924 in Fulton County, MS. The details of why these children took on the name of their mother is unclear and can be left for another bit of detail work later.<br />
<br />
John Henry Wallace's mother, Elvis' great, great grandmother was <u>Lydia Gideon</u>. The marriage of Lydia Gideon and Hugh Henry Berry Wallace was 6 Oct 1852 in Itawamba, MS. <br />
<br />
Lydia's mother was <u>Elizabeth Tapp Gideon</u>, Elvis' 3rd great grandmother (married John Gideon) born about 1794 and died about 1850. *This connection will involve more research on my part to find definitive proof, but the circumstantial evidence is compelling.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth Tapp Gideon was the daughter of <u>Moses Tapp</u>, Elvis' 4th great grandfather, born about 1758 in Culpepper, VA and died about 1825 in Spartanburg, SC.<br />
<br />
Moses Tapp was the son of <u>Vincent Tapp</u> (part of the DNA tested direct Taptico line), Elvis' 5th great grandfather, and Mary "Molly" Jett. <br />
<br />
Vincent Tapp, the brother of my 5th great grandfather <u>William Tapp IV,</u> was the son of William Tapp III, <b>Elvis and my 6th great grandfather!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
William Tapp III was the son of the last Wicocomico Tribal chief, <u>William Taptico II</u>, named changed to Tapp on his will (well documented and now in history books, see previous post connections above).<br />
<br />
This line is through my father's lineage. "Thank you! Thank you very much!"<br />

I've been seeing references to one of my all time favorite actors and human beings, Vincent Price! I grew up, albeit, with a not so normal obsession with old horror movies and Edgar Allan Poe. Specifically anything Vincent Price did. He also had a love for Poe. So, like I always do, I decided to look up Mr. Price's family tree.<br />
<br />
Vincent Leonard Price, Jr is the direct descendant of Rebecca Nurse of Salem, one of the women accused of witchcraft who lost her life to the hysteria of the time. Rebecca Towne Nurse was Vincent's 7th great grandmother! I wonder if he actually knew that! This is through his grandfather Vincent Clarence Price, who was the inventor of Dr. Price's Baking Powder, wife's line, Harriet Elizabeth White. <br />
<br />
Here's the line: Vincent Leonard Price, Jr., Vincent Leonard Price, Sr., Vincent Clarence Price who married Harriet Elizabeth White<br />
Harriet Elizabeth White, daughter of Russell Jesse White, Aaron White, Jr. who married Mary Bigelow<br />
Mary Bigelow, daughter of Thomas Bigelow, Jedidiah Bigelow who married Thomasine Nurse<br />
Thomasine Nurse, daughter of Benjamin Nurse, Jr., Benjamin Nurse, Sr. who's father Francis Nurse married Rebecca Towne (Rebecca Nurse accused Salem witch, 71 years of age, hanged on July 19, 1692). Rebecca was a central character in Arthur Miller's Crucible.<br />
<br />
I have to believe Vincent Price didn't know of this, but of course, I can't be sure. Oh, how serendipitous! <br />

While I immerse myself in the DNA genealogy study, serendipity strikes really hard. I've been delving into heritage percentages and have found surprising results in a few areas, not surprising in others. Once and only once, for a week, I traveled to Spain. To this day I haven't left, in my mind and spirit. That sounds weird, I know. But, two strange things have happened in my life to scar me and touch my soul deeply. They came very unexpectedly. <br />
<br />
First, was my trip to Spain in 1996, I believe. Dates, in my own life, sometimes evade me. Dead people, no problem! Spain moved me in ways that I still am trying to understand. It was easy to write the experience off to an American leaving their country for the first time. That should have explained a lot. But...it was much deeper I would find. <br />
<br />
My time in Spain and Portugal was spent exploring. I have visited Santiago de Compostela and Fatima, two of the major holy places in the world. While these holy places were great, my experiences in both Spain and Portugal hold spiritual experiences I'm still trying to understand.<br />
We'll stick to the ones in Spain, for now.<br />
<br />
Spain did something to me. What, I still don't quite understand, but I believe DNA may be a large part of that. I could not explain why I, who could not speak a word of Spanish, besides perfunctory greetings, could communicate so well non-verbally with Spanish people. Not just that, but people were drawn to me for some odd reason. A feeling of these people being my relatives surged through my veins. It was odd!! Part of me was very freaked out, the other part was amazingly calm. If you know me, calm is not a place I visit often, so it's a big deal.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to DNA testing. Once I became a better student of DNA findings I delved deeply into where all of my heritage could be broken down. Yep....a large swath, from far back, was all over Spain. All practically equally divided between Cataluna, Castilla y Leon, and Galicia. Galicia was were I visited and felt like I should have never left. Weird...huh? <br />
<br />
The hard part is finding out who in my tree this comes from, even if that will be possible. Some surprises, some not. Here's my surprises: 1. Orkney Islands, off of Northern Scotland<br />
2. Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish<br />
<br />
The rest makes sense, I know where my French comes from, my Irish, my west Scottish, my German, Austrian, English, even the Native American.<br />
<br />
I would suspect my Spain connection is through my early Virginia Chesapeake tribe that was documented as being different in complexion and culture than other natives encountered in other regions by the English. <br />
<br />
The other experience is one I don't share because it's so text book "spiritual sighting", like seeing Jesus in my potato chip. In Lisbon, Portugal I was fortunate enough to take a monastery bus tour. This was stunning beyond words to be in cathedrals build in the 13th through 16th centuries, the tombs of Kings and Queens everywhere.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
There was one, I believe it was the very famous <a href="http://www.planetware.com/lisbon/hieronymite-convent-p-lisb-mosjer.htm">Jeronimos Monastery and church, in Belem</a>, yet pictures on-line do not reveal my memory. It could have been the church in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoba%C3%A7a_Monastery#/media/File:Alcoba%C3%A7aCloister.jpg">Alcobaca Monastery</a>, I just cannot be sure. In this cathedral, after viewing famous tombs with the tour guide, I decided to go off on my own. I approached the area close to the altar and was drawn to my right. It was a bit dark, but I looked up and there was a huge statue in between others of a woman that must have been Mary. I looked into her big dark eyes and felt a serge through my body of massive grief like I have never felt before or after. I saw tears in her eyes and I sensed a deep sorrow for humanity. Time seemed to stand still and I had to force myself to look away or my heart would explode. I literally ran to the people on the tour with me and said, "Please, can you come with me and look at something?". She was a dead statue with different eyes and "nothing" when I returned. "Do you see anything?" I asked. "Like what?" is what I heard and they walked away. I must have lost my mind, I thought. To this day I look at every picture I can find on-line of that cathedral and find no pictures of this massive statue. There was also an eye above the altar in the ceiling. I can't find that either. Was it Jeronimos or another monastery?<br />
<br />
This area of Lisbon dates back to the "Discoveries". The time was exploratory travels to other worlds. The picture above is the monument to the discoveries in Lisbon. I went to the top and looked down on this map, which was quite extraordinary. Many of the landings in Native "America" are what blended Spanish, Portuguese, and even Dutch into the blood of the Native population all along the sea coast from Canada to the tip of South America and the Islands. Is this a purely spiritual connection or does this course through my DNA?<br />
<br />
All of this, for me, just proves how deep my feelings of emotional connection. I've not always been comfortable with my extreme sensitivity and have lamented on being somehow cursed. It's scary and uncomfortable, or at least, was more so in the past. I'm starting to let it be a part of me and not hide it or be embarrassed by it. It's not easy! I like things in a neat, explainable box, but these were not the cards I was dealt.<br />
This journey has been a fascinating roller coaster that I am beginning to love more and more.<br />
<br />
How about you? What fears keep you from sharing your experiences?Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06454085343719067767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021543921591570417.post-9472548500810440042017-08-19T11:32:00.001-04:002017-08-19T11:32:37.366-04:00You can run, but you can't hide!With the attack at Charlottesville recently, it's interesting to see news about white supremacist looking to DNA testing to prove their "whiteness". You will, no doubt, in the near future hear these very same people denounce the findings of DNA because it doesn't serve their agenda. Good!<br />
<a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/the-download/608673/white-supremacists-have-stumbled-into-a-huge-issue-in-genetic-ancestry-testing/">white-supremacists-have-stumbled-into-a-huge-issue-in-genetic-ancestry-testing/</a><br />
<br />
Happily, for us all, DNA testing will only prove what we should all accept, we are an amalgam of everything and everyone. We are all brothers and sisters. The sooner we celebrate this the sooner our lives will be happier and content. So, even though I desperately seek every ancestor and every place those ancestors lived and died, I use this information to uncover history in it's truest form, with question marks. The truth is never easy, never black and white, never done by just a few heroes. Genealogy can help us work with historians to uncover the many layers of truth and mistakes.<br />

While I can't discuss the details until after the program airs, sometime in December or January, it was a thrilling chase! Unfortunately, I was slated to appear on the show with Steve Dischiavi, but the research segment they had chosen to film got scrapped. It happens....<br />
<br />
Before this I had never seen an episode of this show, so I did a cram viewing session. As you can see by my other posts on serendipity I have a leaning toward paranormal belief. The show is quite thorough at background genealogy and history research whether you are a believer or skeptic.<br />
<br />
The one indisputable thing that I found eerie is how each house has proven unusual deaths, usually many over generations. For me, I felt a sense of these souls needing their stories to be told. This is what happens to me so very often. It was surprising to find I didn't feel uncomfortable at all with this research on unusual deaths, quite the contrary, my detective radar is still working on more findings. <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Serendipity…. finds me….
finds my friends, and leaves no other explanation except “meant to be”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I’ll leave out the background
details, but my friend grew up with a biological mom and step dad. The only mention of a
biological father was with no name or idea of how to find him.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> How can you find this guy</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">…right?</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">So, DNA came along, yet my friend was hesitant.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Maybe, at the least, he can find his mix of nationalities at best. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Recently, something just said “it’s time” and
away went the test to the lab.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The results were no less than
shocking!</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">My friend grew up very close
to a mother who is Native American and a step father with step siblings.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Looking kind of the part of an American native led his life to certain things being taken for granted.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Also, h</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">is</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> mother’s memory was of a possible Scottish descent for the father because he had red hair.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> So imagine his surprise when the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">test came back as 47% (50% of your DNA comes from each parent) Ashkenazi
Jew!</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">What the…????</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If that wasn’t enough of a
surprise, there was an aunt connection right off the bat through the same testing site!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She responded immediately and said her
brother remembered the very short-lived relationship with his mom and really
wanted to talk to him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Lift jaw off of the floor...</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then…. the serendipity became
deep…. the biological father was in a VA hospital where he was diagnosed just weeks earlier with
stage 4 esophageal cancer, among other things, with a very bleak outcome.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">He had never married and had no other
children.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> If my friend was ever going to find his father,</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> it HAD
to happen now…before it was too late.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> The father was so overwhelmed with joy to find out, not only did he have a son, but he had grandchildren! </span><span style="font-size: medium;">I’m blown away…..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">My friend flew to
meet his father and get to know his long-lost Ashkenazi Jewish Heritage. He was able to spend days getting to know his father and extended family that flew in as well. 7 days after my friend left his father's side he passed. I cannot
fathom how he feels right now, very few of us can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, this is more proof for me that there is
more at work here in this life than any of us can explain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My journey is to touch this path, discover
and tell these stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This came directly after
doing a fast-extensive research project for a TV show, soon to be shared in a post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay tuned….<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18pt;">This
is a tough topic for me and has painted a large portion of my life. I
cannot explain the responsibility I feel to at minimum discuss my historical
past, and how knowing and witnessing this past will in some way help.
Maybe it just helps me, I don't know. But, I feel compelled to
express my view of reparation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I
am American, British, Irish, Scottish, German, Swiss, French, Native American,
Scandinavian, Portuguese, Spainish, Sardinian, West African, and very far back
Turkish, Greek, and finally Neanderthal. You know what....that pretty
much covers the world. I am earth, yet I am not just one of the above, so
am I nothing?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">On
one hand my ancestors served, on the other they destroyed. So...what does
reparation mean to me. What do I claim as my heritage? Does
only royal ancestry count? I have been told by certain genealogist,
yes…but alas, they are dead wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I’ve
been seeing something within the Native American community that concern me,
that I see as the continuation of a pattern of destruction and suppression.
Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of postings, with pictures, by people who
claim Native American heritage (the “Diluted”), who are subsequently accused of
not looking “native” by others who fear that their Native American heritage is being
stolen (the “Purists”). Purists condemn anyone who claim native heritage
without having been raised on a reservation, or has diluted blood (e.g., less
than 80% native blood). This does nothing for the Native community as a whole,
except exacerbate the pain and emptiness which already burden Purists. My
question to Purists is, “Do you really want to use the same tactics used by the
Aryan Race to destroy and suppress ‘mongrels’? The same tactics used by
White Supremacists?” Please....no....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I
understand why tribes have to have regulations for membership in a tribe,
because of recognition from the US government. That does not have to
influence treatment of those who just want to celebrate their heritage without
affecting tribal recognition, I know that can be a gray area sometimes, but
again, a small minority. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">This
behavior is similar to what happens in the black community when someone with
"light" black skin color dares to claim his/her black
heritage even though s/he had a white mom or dad. In the 1800's, such
were listed on the census as "mulatto." This was and has never
been viewed as a positive term. It was often used to suppress, even within the
black community, traumatizing those who were ostracized by the very people who
should have embraced them. Many in the black community viewed mulattos as
“privileged,” because they could frequently pass as white. Some mulattos could
and did advance themselves with the help of white privilege. Would they
have been better off staying within the black community? Should they
have stayed within the black community and accepted the shame and isolation of
that choice? Why should Purists force a choice upon mulattos that
they themselves need never make? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">How
do we heal inter-communal racism? Black, red, yellow…. It might be helpful to
first remember that there are no absolutes, only shades of gray, exemplified by
my own ancestry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">On
my mother's side (which is predominantly from the south and southwest), I
cannot find one direct ancestor that fought for the south in the civil war, nor
owned slaves, not one, yay, right? BUT, on my father's side, not only do
I have direct ancestors who fought for the south and owned slaves, I also have
two Native American chiefs (Werowances) whose progeny owned slaves (and possibly
the chiefs as well). (Yes, Native Americans in the south sometimes owned
slaves! I can delve into this for pages, but let's stay on point.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Also
on my mother's side, I have a direct ancestor who, in his time, was a
well-known buffalo hunter in Kansas. He massacred an amazing number of
buffalo. It hasn't been proven yet, but his grandfather was adopted and
was believed to have been Native American. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Whites
who hunted buffalo and owned slaves. But also whites who didn’t own
slaves. And Native Americans who did own slaves! Who the hell am I? Do
I celebrate my white ancestry and feel ashamed of my Native American ancestry?
Or do I feel ashamed of them both? How should I reconcile such surprising
discrepancies? This is where, for me, reparation is important. I
learn about all of my ancestry. But more importantly, I honor all of
my ancestry – the good and the bad and, more frequently, the grey. I think
that it’s okay to feel a connection to my Native American ancestry even though
I look and am predominantly white. I do not take anything away
from anyone (including Purists) by doing this. I serve the buffalo by
showing their beauty to others in pictures on my Facebook page and elsewhere.
Someday I hope to put my hands on a buffalo and weep. This will heal me
and maybe even the buffalo. Or maybe just me, I don't know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Elsewhere,
I honor my West African heritage by referring to my black friends as “my
brothers and sisters,” and by acting as witness to and shining the light on
racism through Facebook posts and discussions with those who don't get it. Does
this very small part of my DNA come from one of my slave owning ancestors?
Probably. I honor all of it. I acknowledge the beauty
and pride in us all and in all the heritages we represent. I do
everything I can to keep them alive regardless of the comprise in my own
ancestry. Do I do enough? Probably not, but I will continue to
honor and support every one of them in any way possible to help heal racism.
It takes nothing away from anyone to do so. How about you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I
understand the desire to hold one’s heritage close, within one’s heart. That
is not permission, however, to push others away from their desire to also honor
history – history that is shared by both Diluted and Purists. Yes...you
can share. I know, there will always be those who will try to use
"heritage" to their advantage. But, really...what can they
gain? They are a very small minority. Should we let this small minority
deepen racial wounds? Why, when there is support and healing to be gained by
including everyone in honoring your heritage? I'm not here to tell
you what you should do. But I do urge you to consider your own role
in this spectrum. And I encourage you to share in the comments the ways in
which you act to help heal these old wounds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I
started writing this article the day before reading about the UN
announcement last year (making the rounds again on Facebook) about it's
findings on US Slavery Reparations. Serendipitous this would find me
right as I was finishing the article. It's important to note that the
UN just had recommendations, no "orders"...... <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Finally, after 3 months of back to back shows and a research project that sucked up all my time, I'm back blogging again! Yeah!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went on a whirlwind journey researching for the TV show "The Dead Files" for an episode coming out late fall or early 2018. While I can't say much about it until the program airs, I'll say it was an interesting dig into some not so great deaths, but I ended up digging into some really interesting lineages in Connecticut that may end up having a personal connection. Crazy, yes, but with me I'm never surprised. I think these people found me so their story could be told. Serendipity, again! That seems to be how I roll these days.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There will be more later once the episode airs, so stay tuned!</div>

My other career as a professional musician has taken me on an intense journey shuffling between 3 musicals, Beauty and the Beast, Sweet Charity, and The Most Beautiful Room in New York, for 3 months. The last musical is a high profile World Premiere <a href="http://longwharf.org/beautiful-room">http://longwharf.org/beautiful-room</a><br />
<br />
I will do my best to get back to blogging as soon as possible! Thanks to everyone for reading my journey through my passions. I am never bored!!Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06454085343719067767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021543921591570417.post-18690214804292477812017-03-31T20:34:00.000-04:002017-03-31T20:34:15.371-04:00A Soul's Journey<br />
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The definitive answer to life's mystery is yet to be discovered. For each of us the journey is unique, yet we continue to strive not only for a simple answer, but for commonality. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have I, as a soul, choosen my plight or good fortune? Is Karma, destiny, free will, or the many short answers all that simple? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">These gray, unanswered questions have been my source of great pain and great discovery, with periods of joy thrown into the mix.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This, above all else, has driven my longing for a cosmic and historical connections to the past. It has and continues to be my salvation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A big "thank you" to all my dead people who continue to nudge me, scare me, and thrill me! My job is to bring your spirit, through genealogy and history, back to life. May I continue to find meaning in your short relevant lives!</span><br />

What you don't know about the tragic fate of descendants of Vincent van Gogh is amazing and relevant!<br />
<br />
Vincent Willem
van Gogh(1) has always reached deeply into my heart ever since I first laid eyes on starry night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I own prints of many
of his paintings that hang on walls in my home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many years have been spent in admiration and trying to understand a
deeply moving man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I was younger, one
of my favorite songs was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Vincent </i>by
Don McLean (famous for his song <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">American
Pie</i>).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rhapsodizing about his life
and struggles can be left to reading <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Van
Gogh:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Life </i>by Steven Naifeh and
Gregory White Smith (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">highly</b>
recommended to really let you know how much you don’t know about van
Gogh).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will only say this and move on
to the few descendants through his brother Theo's descendants and their admirable, tragic lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vincent never had significant love interests, never had children, had only acquaintances instead of friends. Theo was his only confidant, his only champion. Theo was clearly devoted to his brother amidst the most trying of circumstances. They wrote so often their letters to each other require a hefty 3 volume set, which I own.<br />
<br />
Vincent meandered from a young age trying to
discover what his passion and service would be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Hoping to be a minister in service to the poor, while the clergy of his time had other ideas. He was a failure from the start. </span>It wasn’t until he turned 27 that he began to become an artist, and by
the age of 37 he was dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was self-taught
for the most part and put out 10 years’ worth of amazing work that never sold
during his lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could go
on…..instead, I’ll leave you with a story on the man who sees
into my soul. Bear with me through the fact, it's another tear jerker.<br />

You can find basic details of Vincent’s life on-line easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vincent(1) was born 30 Mar 1853 in Groot-Zundert,
Netherlands, and died 29 July 1890 at the Ravoux’s Inn in Auvers, France with
no issue (for non-genealogist this means no children).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What isn’t as easy to find are the details of
his ancestry, much of which is covered in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Complete Letters of Vincent van Gogh</i>, 3 volumes first published in 1958 (I
own the third edition collection, 2000).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His sister-in-law provided a memoir of Vincent outlining the family
lineage, referencing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Annales
Genealogiques </i>by Arnold Buchelius which states “Jacob van Gogh (16<sup>th</sup>
c. family already established in Holland) lived at the time in Utrecht…. Jan,
Jacob’s son, sold wine and books….”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The family lineage had generations of connections to art and
literature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The name van Gogh is believe
to be derived from the small town Gogh on the German frontier.<sup>1</sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will discuss some of his descendants
(through his brother Theo).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His brother, Theo(1), had 3 children (two sons, one daughter)….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Theo’s son, <a href="https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/knowledge-and-research/research-projects/biography-of-vincent-willem-van-gogh" target="_blank">Vincent Willem van Gogh</a>(2) (named
after his love of his brother) was born in Paris, 31 Jan 1890, the same year as
Vincent’s(1) death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This gives you an idea
of Theo’s(1) devotion to Vincent(1), leaving his wife and 6-month-old to rush to
Vincent’s side as he died in Auvers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vincent(2) Theo’s son, called "the engineer", died 28 Jan 1978, Laren, North Holland, Netherlands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Vincent(2) continued
his mother’s devotion to the legacy of van Gogh by establishing the Van Gogh
Foundation in the 1960’s where van Gogh’s collection was transferred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1973 the State of the Netherlands designed
the <a href="https://vangoghmuseum.nl/" target="_blank">Van Gogh Museum </a>where the collection now resides. This family's devotion to the legacy of Vincent's work is why his short life is never forgotten.</div>

Vincent(2) , son of Theo(1)who died at the age of 33, named a son....yes, you guessed it, Theo(2). This Theo(2) was born 5 Nov 1920 in Amsterdam. My heart skipped a beat when I learned of his execution by the Nazis at the age of 24, 8 Mar 1945. He was a member of the resistance movement. Your great uncle would have been so proud of you, Theo! His nephew, yes...another <a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-59420-108-0" target="_blank">Theo(3)</a> was a film director, producer, and actor who was brutally murdered in 2004 by a Dutch Moroccan who was not happy about his outspoken views on Islamic woman's rights. Yes, there is a book about this murder and it's meaning, <i> <a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-59420-108-0" target="_blank">Murder in Amsterdam: The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance </a></i><a href="https://www.blogger.com/Murder%20in%20Amsterdam:%20The%20Death%20of%20Theo%20van%20Gogh%20and%20the%20Limits%20of%20Tolerance" target="_blank">by Ian Burma. </a> Theo's(3) last film was "06" about the murder (ironically) of an outspoken gay libertarian, Pim Fortuyn. Theo(3) was murdered 911 days after Fortuyn, at the age of 47! My grandfather who died when I was 2 at the age of 47!<br />
<br />
Can I say, "What the...?" Is there a curse on this family?<br />
<br />
Theo's(3) son, Lieuwe van Gogh is an ARTIST! Born in 1992 in the Netherlands and is on Facebook! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lieuwe.vangogh" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/lieuwe.vangogh</a> He was 12 years old when his father was murdered. I can't imagine....<br />

To learn more, please click on the highlighted references, visit the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, MA, or the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, or any other place that has a van Gogh painting on exhibit. A picture never does his work justice. My most moving moment was at the Boston MFA getting very close and seeing the thick strokes of paint then walking slowly further away to see the paintings evolve. He was a very deep soul.</div>
