Visiting locations and gathering history in person is far more fulfilling than just sitting at home on a laptop. Firstly, who says Kelly went there to just open up a laptop? Secondly, are you really that dumb?

Lord have mercy, they’re sending her all over the place.

now I personally know why she has chosen their baby's name "river ROSE". love that name and I think - Kelly is not a lil annoying, I think everything was emotional for her. that's all. I like her persona alot. So natural.

Loved this! I am so interested in my history. This was such an amazing boost♥

Holy shit Kelly Clarkson went on a freekin wild goose chase!

When she said you have to go to Georgia and Georgia said you can find this online 😂🤣

"she went all the way to..." You do realize this was all presented in the way that look good on tv. There was probably a lot of interactions we didn't get to see and if not think about it like this...she's exploring the state and town that most likely her ancestor traveled to and get a general idea what they saw when they are alive...so it was not a waste of time in my opinion, I think it was beautiful tbh.

I'm actually related to Isaiah through my grandma. This was cool to watch.

What they put under the names isn't where they are its where they work. That guy works at old dominion university and he went to Georgia to talk to Kelly because that is where her ancestor was and he was probably a authority on that subject.

My 3rd great grandfather, George was in Andersonville. His brother, William was captured too and when George got sick William did all he could to keep him alive. If he hadn't I would not be here. Awesome to think about.

Kelly has good heart

That isn't the Hilltop from Walking Dead is it...? 2:14

Kelly Clarkson is a really great singer and performer. She proudly calls her mother and herself string individuals. Seen on the headstone the names of Issah and his wife Melissa who lineage is not pursued, may also be the source of that great strength.

I have a great great grandfather from Ohio who's story is so simular to Issac Rose's it spooky. His name was Stephen A. Lewis. He went in the Union army early too. As a private. He was in the battle of Franklin in Tennessee. He was shot thru the face in the no man's land open space between the two armies and left for dead. The Union pulled out of Franklin in the middle of the nite and escaped to Nashville. Leaving him severely wounded. After they left, the conferates were able to go out on that flat clear area and see what was left. They found he was still alive, but they thot not for long. The loaded him on a wagon with any others. He had nice boots and they didn't, so they took his boots. It was cold out. They headed off with a bunch of wounded to a prison. I wondered if it was Andersonville, but that was a long way. They weren't watching him very close because they thot he would die. While camped for the nite, he was able to get up and sneak away. He kept walking north, his feet torn and bleeding on the rocks. He found a cabin in the woods and collapsed on the poarch. This was the cabin of an old slave lady who had gotten too old to work. They let her live out her days there. She found him, saw his Union uniform and took him in and nursed him and fed him. A few days later the conferates came by looking for him. She told them she knew nothing. When she saw them coming, she had him hide under her matress. They came in an searched her cabin, and while they did she sat on the bed on top of him. They didn't find him. She got him well enough to get him with people in the underground railway. They got him up to Pennsylvainia. He reported in and it took him about a year to get well enough to go back on duty. Grandma said the wound on his face always wept and he always wore a long beard. She said the kids dreaded him kissing them because his beard was always wet. He went back to war with Pennsylvania instead of Ohio, with the rank of Sergeant. He had a family, and his daughter Ida Mae Lewis married my gr.grandfather John Smith. Stephens wife died and he and his daughter and son-in-law and family moved to Kansas. The Oklahoma land runs opened. He and John ran for land. John homesteaded 160 acres near Capron, Ok. ( I have been on that land). They lived in a soddy and had five kids. Stephen took his alotment in the town of Alva. Yearly the town had a weekend to celebrate Civil war veterans They came into town from far and wide. The black vets could come in for the day, but the Jim Crow laws forced them to leave before sundown. Stephen was angry and went to the mayor and city council to get this practiced stopped. They refused. He, as you might guess was a war hero and he had other ideas, which he challenged them to do something about. He built a barracks on the back of his property and made it readily known that black veterans and their families were welcome to stay there free for the whole weekend. The city never did anything to try to stop him, I guess because of his statis. He felt he owed his life to the lady who did what she did to save him at great danger to her self. He is buried in Alva.

So many similarities among a lot of our ancestors. Their hardships and sacrifices made our lives easier. Great grandpa’s dream came true during the land rush. He wanted to live, and die in Texas! Lo and behold, his part of Tx , eventually became SW Ok! Doubt if he ever got over that!

She has the heritage of a Rose . That's my last name. Alright Kelly.

Wow, Kelly Clarkson... my Grandmothers side, parallels your family quite a bit, her 3rd great, uncle was governor, and later became President, out of Ohio, and there was a prisoner of war who escaped on a deadman pass.

Not quite the same as what happened here though. As I understood it, Isaiah Rose was a soldier during the Civil War. Only becoming a Senator AFTER the war ended much later in his life. Whereas your ancestors were Senators DURING the War.

Yes, Kelly, even in Old South, there were MANY Unionists. My own family were in Georgia when Civil War started, had always been in South. Not all Southerners were happy about Succession. My own family had roots in Colonial America, our people fought in Revolution and as you said so well, they did not want this country split apart. So many of our ancestors have fought and died for this great country. I'm glad your ancestor escaped prison and despite his wounds, lived on to becone a success.

Elmira prison camp was just as bad. Andersonville gets the press. One has to remember the south was totally blockaded and what supplies it had went to the Confederate army. The north suffered none of these problems. But, yet Confederate soldiers suffered starvation at Elmira prison.

In addition to Elmira, there was a Union POW camp in Chicago that was a cattle stockyard. Confederate POW's were kept in an open area without blankets or tents - some will realize it gets colder in Chicago than it does in south Georgia. Confederate officers were imprisoned at Ft. McHenry, MD in equally inhumane conditions. My great grandfather (CSA) was captured and interned at the Union camp at Richmond, VA where he died of mumps. It was a terrible time in American history and neither side treated the other humanely.

Cool name doctor... ;)

Just saying but what a coincidence that both an ancestor of mine and Kelly clarkson was at Andersonville and my ancestor was my 4x great uncle named George Washington Shriver and he served in the union army until he was captured on New Year’s Day 1864 in Rectors town Virginia by the grey ghost aka John Singleton Mosby and after my ancestor was captured he was taken to Andersonville prisoner of war camp where on August 25th 1864 my ancestor passed away at the age of 28 and he left behind my 4x great aunt Henrietta aka hetty and my 4x great cousins molly and Sadie who both sadly died young from tuberculosis but before he was captured he had a son my 4x cousin Jacob Emanuel who sadly died as a baby but after my ancestor died my aunt hetty got married again and had a daughter named Lillian who survived to adulthood.

Andersonville. The truth is that the conditions under which POW's were held by both the Union and Confederate sides were inhumane. Since the winner writes the history books, we only hear about Andersonville, as we should, but we do not hear about the atrocious conditions endured by Confederate POW's in camps at Richmond, Chicago, Elmira, or Ft. McHenry.

You don't need to travel to another state to speak with an expert or hire an investigator. If you're fine with going to an LDS church, most have what is called a Family History Center. You can also go onto FamilySearch.org, which Ancestry.com literally stole from, and find millions of records there. You do not need to be a member to join.

I wonder how many of these ancestry episodes they do where nobody ends up blubbering and crying so they end up on the cutting-room floor or shelved and never aired?

I really like Kelly Clarkson, I think she cute as hell and sweet. But is this an attempt to whitewash her Confederate ancestry? Who comes from Texas and has no Southern heritage? My people were Midwest, coming from New York and Pennsylvania previously, after northern Europe. Anyway, I still have people in Missouri who were Confederates: "admitting" this is not condoning slavery, etc. My mom's direct ancestor was a Private Ackerson from Iowa, who served the Union. People mainly just fought for their "side". Many Confederate soldiers were teenage boys, conscripted to serve by the local area's biggest, richest slaveholders. The Rich rarely fought, yet got to be Generals, who sent the young to fight for them. Cold Harbor was one of the only movies that depicted a non-judgmental look at those poor teen soldiers.
