My ancestors arrived in Jamestown VA Settlement in 1611. My 12 times great grandfather, William Stone, was the 3rd Colonial Governor of Maryland 1649-1655 and my 9 times great uncle, Thomas Stone, signed the Declaration Of Independence

When I was younger my grandparents took me to Jamestown; she told me her relatives came to the colony. I got a reproduction of the Jamestown Charter and she showed me the name of Ould Edward, listed as a laborer, and apparently my ancestor.

Well, darn. They thought they had gotten away with that secret, and then 400 years later... Forensic anthropology and genetic genealogy are amazing, literally unearthing and solving so many mysteries! Thank you for this!

I was born a West and Thomas De La Warr West is a grandfather of mine. So cool to hear about my own family history here today. Thanks for covering it.

I worked as a Park Ranger in 1993 at the Jamestown NHS Entrance Station. I also attended Christopher Newport University in Newport News, named after the "Captain General" of the first voyage to Jamestown. He also made several voyages of supply between England and Jamestown; in 1609, he became Captain of the Virginia Company's new flagship, Sea Venture, which met a hurricane during the Third Supply mission and was shipwrecked on the archipelago of Bermuda. While attending CNU, I took a few archaeology classes taught by members of the Jamestown Rediscovery archaeology staff. My maternal grandmother's family has lived in eastern Virginia for many generations. My 10X great-grandfather was Richard Casey, who landed at Isle of Wight County in 1636. He may have been related to the Jamestown colonists with the surnames "Cassens" and/or "Causey"

My ancestors on both sides of my family landed at Jamestown aboard the same ship in 1700. It's wonderful that research is continuing at this important historical site.

I like that you narrated this video yourself. It's much better. I watched 2 other videos and I can see that you are science based, unlike some in thus genre. It was hard to tell with the clickbaity titles, but that's for the algorithm probably. Subscribed!

My mom’s side came to Massachusetts in 1630 on the Mary and John. They were French Heugonots. My dad’s side came in 1682 following William Penn to a Quaker colony he founded in Pennsylvania in 1681.
@donnawinton9396
our eason ancestors were passengers on the "sea venture", part of the 1609 replenishment fleet, which was blown off course and wrecked in a storm, and found refuge in ("discovered") the bermudas, overwintering there before building two small ships and completing the voyage to jamestown in 1610. that shipwreck became the inspiration for shakespeare's play "the tempest".

Excellent presentation. Your style was fun and easy to follow. Your earned my subscription. Thank you!😊

Absolutely riveting! 🧬 The fusion of ancient DNA and archaeology continues to reshape what we think we know. The fact that 400-year-old secrets can still surface beneath church floors is both haunting and exhilarating. History isn't dead—it’s just waiting to be decoded. 🔍⛪ #JamestownMystery #HistoryUnearthed #AncientDNA #BuriedSecrets #ArchaeologicalRevelations #ScienceMeetsHistory

Amazing what DNA can reveal.
@PoohOnYourShoe
My paternal grandpa has a paper trail back to the mayflower. I don’t remember that relatives name; but he was a shoe cobbler from Denmark. I always joke we must have had honest ancestors because we don’t have “family money” or generational wealth, and we’ve been blue collar ever since. Still to this day, i operate heavy equipment, my brother owns a masonry/landscape company, and my dad’s been a mechanic for 50+ years.
@rhyfelwrDuw
That was really fascinating! I'm a Brit, still in the UK, but it's still intriguing to hear about the people who went to the US!
@randomvintagefilm273
The ancient DNA website tied me to one of the early settlers with the last name CALVERT. I hope they put more old American DNA on the site!
@JimGahar
My ancestor John Pipkin arrived at Jamestown in 1677 aboard the "Truelove" along with his son John Jr. They were indentured servants, both worked out their seven years and were granted 640 acres each, where they farmed tobacco.
@nhmooytis7058
We visited Jamestown when I was in high school. This was very interesting! Subbed.
@ScottishIrishproud
I live 2 minutes away from Jamestown… Love the Channel ❤❤❤❤

The local church here in Norway, where my wife is buried, was built in 1180 AD. That is more than 400 years before the English settlers in the USA. And of course, the Norse settlers in Greenland and Newfoundland were there since 900s AD. By then, the Indians and Inuit had been in America for many thousands of years.
