THE FUGATES Were So Inbred They Turned Blue: Their Inbred Family Tree Explained- Mortal Faces
The Fugates of Kentucky's Inbred Family Tree Explained. I go through their ancestry to see how tangled their family tree was. Also known as the Blue People of Kentucky, the Fugates had a recessive gene that caused their skin to turn blue. They settled in Troublesome Creek, Kentucky in the 1800's and due to the lack of roads, weren't able to meet many new people. As a result they married into only a few families, and even themselves. This resulted in their recessive methemoglobin gene to be passed down and reappear in multiple generations of Fugates, turning their skin blue.

Especially the Hapsburg line ....look at some of the poor souls in that line like Charles II ...so deformed. Then u look at Queen Victoria who passed on Hemophilia to her children and their children. As well as Porphyria being passed generation to generation...like in the case of Mad King George III.
The thing that leaps out at me from this family tree is that, in the late 1700s, three apparently unrelated families; the Fugates, the Wells', and the Smiths, all carried the rare met-H gene. There's definitely a lot more crossover in this family tree before 1750!

It came from Spanish following the _Reconquista_ where the new Christian state (Espanya) recaptured territory that was previously under hundreds of years of rule by the Islamic Moors. Since the Moors had darker skin (they were mostly Arab and African), the Castilian Spanish who were from the northern regions along the border with France would boast of being able to see their _sangre azul_ ("blue blood") through their fairer skin and thus coined the term to refer to the Christian nobles of Castile and Aragon. The royals of Spain were severely inbred as well, e.g., the Hapsburgs.
God this is so disturbing!! My kin on my moms side came up out of the hills of Kentucky, half of my grandma's DNA came from a Fugate.... and what's really really weird, and I cant help but wonder if that fact has something to do with my life long illnesses. I was sick pretty much from birth, at 9 they discovered I had extremely low PLATELETS!! After a bone morrow test they settled on a diagnosis of ITP which is an auto immune disorder, my immune system destroys my platelets in the same way a healthy person's would attack and remove bacteria or a virus.... but it didn't stop there, initially they told us that I would grow out of it, but that never happened.... my symptoms continued to mount becoming more and more severe, so they decided a more in depth look into exactly what was happening was needed, so I was then sent to a rheumatologist.... this doctor was completely stumped, I had/have all the hallmarks of Lupus, but then there is a whole bunch of symptoms they couldn't quite fit into either diagnosis so I was basically told Lupus would be my diagnosis, it would be the fastest way to get doctors, nurses, emt's etc. Understand where to start until I or a loved one could give them a more in depth history.... ive had flares present in every known way and subcategory for Lupus (there are 4 known types). I was 13yo.... one of the issues none of my doctors have been able to rectify is its a genetic disorder, but couldn't be found anywhere in my immediate family. We weren't really able, at least at that time, to trace family medical history back beyond my great grandparents because they all migrated North out of the mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia.... not a whole lot of doctorin was done back then, let alone the kind that would lead to medical records, outside of digging through some backwoods doctors notes.... but there no way of knowing where to even start!! Alot of that information died with them.... Sorry for such a long comment, I just thought you might find it interesting.... I know I do!! I've always known my great grandma was a Fugate, but I didn't know there was anything notable about the name!! Let alone THIS insanity!! Might bring it up to my doctor next time I see him, see what he thinks about it!! But for all intents and purposes im considered kind of medical mystery.... I was used like a lab rat until i was 19 when i finally put my foot down and said no more, you wouldnt believe the amount kf trauma i carry with me because lf the things i was put through as just a child, and for alot of it, completely alone!! My mother had two other children to worry about, so she would basically get me checked in, and then leave. So all the tests, iv's, blood draws, the list is endless, but it was all done with me not being able to refuse, and no one to advocate for me.... my mother just blindly approved everything.... needless to sat, I can attest to the fact that white coat syndrome is a VERY real thing!! But Omgoodness im sure ive already said too much.... Thank you so much for ALWAYS coming through with the most FASCINATING content!! You truly have a way, beyond just the visuals, of bringing a story, history for that matter, to life in a way ive never really ever experienced... until running across your content anyway!!

I'd heard about these people when I was a kid, but everyone made it sound like they were very inbred, like genetic mutations level inbred, which is why many had blue skin. According to this family tree they weren't any more "inbred" than a lot of rural families since before modern times. It looks like they at least tried to avoid marrying too close, but just not enough bloodlines and the blue skin thing was just a rare genetic coincidence made possible by isolated gene pools. So basically they weren't the "wicked perverts" I was led to believe.

@Gold Its called Dermal melanocytosis, or in past times Mongolian Blue Spots in the West. Its a harmless birthmark most common among ethnicities with dark skin that usually appears on the butt or back. It happens because some melanin making cells aka melanocytes collect in clumps and stay deep under the skin instead of going where they are supposed to go when the fetus is developing. So the baby gets bluish spots where the cell clumps are from the melanin being made by the melanocytes. Its harmless and usually disappears by the time youre 12 or so. I had one on my butt as a baby. It faded away when I was about 10.

Melanocytic genes, the ones that determine your entire body's skin tone, arent as simple as dominant/recessive, as theyre multigenetic. Bluish skin tone can be caused by argyria (a chemical effect caused by silver), methemoglobinemia (a buildup of blue hemoglobin- a blood disorder that has nothing to do with melanocytes), and cyanosis (a lack of oxygen provided to red hemoglobin). The second case is greatly recessive but likely requires several recessive genes to build up that much blue hemoglobin. This is the primary problem with inbreeding- that possibly life altering recessive genes are more likely to pass through and express in a thinner bloodline.

I'd think that since Scotland is pretty north I'd probably experience more cold events due to the polar vortex compared to areas further south

One of Martin's sisters was my 5x great-grandmother.
Back in those days there weren't a lot of suitors to choose from because of infant mortality rates, low census, rural living, etc. Inter-marrying was a common occurrence. A lot of second and third cousins marrying and begattin'.

My mind has been singing Madonna's 80's hit " True Blue"....You're the one I'm dreamin' of...etc. Puts a new slant on a love song.
I'm sure there will be all kinds of kissing cousins jokes but it would do one well to remember the only fact you aren't inbred is bc your parents had options. That's all.

One does not need to get married or have kids. If marrying my kin was my only option, I’d take my chances with spinsterhood.

@Miffet Blue religion, especially American Christianity, really pushes hard for people to get married and have children as young as possible. I grew up in the Midwest, my parents aren't that old but they literally only had kids because they 'knew that was expected of them'. Hell, my step dad didn't marry his first wife because he felt anything for her, but because they had been technically dating for two years, so it was time they got married and had kids. Neither of my dads wanted kids, my bio mum wanted them but she's so religious that she wouldn't not have kids, even if nunnery was available to her, because her parents really hammered home that you have a have a lot of kids for God. Ya can't just look at these things in a vacuum, the only thing that happens in a vacuum is space. Social pressures and lack of options really did small town people in. Hell, still does.

@@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 so true. Some people lack this comprehension till this days and age let alone in the olden times. They acted/thought they were on a secluded island and all they had was family members to mate with. These messed up people effed up their children's livelihood
They are literally the Smurfs.
“That’s the way they all became the Brady Bunch” 😊
Love the « Marsha, Jan, and Cindy » reference!,

Great video. Are you a big fan of The Brady Bunch?
Weirdly the term blue blood comes from the idea that the royal families had better blood that shouldn’t be mixed with the red bloods. These guys going blue probably made them ultra special

Also the royals were very pale due to being able to stay inside out of the sun unlike the tanned commoners who toiled in the sun. That vary pale skin allowed them to have blue veins presented and visually pop out underneath, some even enhanced and highlighted the color of the blue veins on their wrists and arms with what I assume to have been blue tinted makeup.
Hilarious at first I thought you were just being funny but seriously, you have the Brady TV family through the smith lineage

I wondered if you would research the swimmers that swam across English channel?. My father had a little framed yellowed certificate that he kept on his dresser for swimming across the English channel. His name was Jack/John Bewley. He was born in Liverpool, England on 11/17/1929. I looked him up, but did not see his name. I know his certificate was real. He died January 2006 in panorama city , CAlif. I would really appreciate it if you would look into this . Thank you for your time, katherine
