From a Family Forest perspective, watching the 61st
Annual Golden Globe Awards recently was both fun and frustrating.
In general, it was fun seeing so many famous people being
recognized for their mastery of their crafts, and it was fun viewing so many
teasers of great productions.
From a Family Forest perspective, it was fun looking for the
attendees, presenters, and honorees who are already lineage-linked into the
Family Forest. Some of them who appeared on stage were Nicolas Cage, Sophia
Coppola, Clint
Eastwood, Sarah Ferguson, and the recipient of the lifetime achievement
award, Michael
Douglas.
Tens of millions of people share ancestors from as recently
as the 1600’s with these famous celebrities, and I believe most of those
cousins would be truly delighted to discover their own family ties to these
celebrities. That’s the frustrating part for me. Why am I having so much
difficulty getting people to consider the possibility that this is true?
So far, no one I’ve corresponded with and/or spoken to at
A&E Networks, Discovery Communications, Disney, Warner Brothers, and a number
of other Hollywood entertainment companies seems to believe that it is even
possible that 1) they own programming and/or movies that portray the actual
ancestors of many tens of millions of living people, and 2) tens of millions of
living people share early American ancestors with a number of Hollywood
celebrities.
Knowing they’ll eventually wake up at some point, I returned
to growing the Family Forest so that the ancestral connection points move
generations closer to the huge audiences that have personal family ties to
Hollywood programming and movies.
One of the first people I looked at in the Family Forest
World Record Edition (WRE) was a presenter at the Golden Globes, Sarah
Ferguson. Although the WRE can fill in more than 3,940,650 boxes on her 40-generation
ancestor chart, I spotted several of her ancestral dead ends that I could
quickly extend.
In less than three hours I was able to make connections that
will fill in millions
of additional boxes on her ancestor chart when the next Family Forest
edition is released.
While I was extending many of Sarah Ferguson’s ancestral
pathways many centuries, I simultaneously filled in more than 3,887,975 boxes
on the ancestor charts of her two nephews, Prince William and Prince
Harry.
Which major media is going to be the first to either
acknowledge these incredible claims, or try to prove us wrong?
