vice president kamla Harris the runner up to the 47th US presidential elections has identified herself as black South Asian Indian American African-American and Jamaican Aman but there is part of her who is white in this video I'm going to go through her family tree and show how she is linked to the English and through a common ancestor can connect herself to the British royal family in the 1500s so if you're new to my channel welcome here on Mortal faces I go through family trees lots more on my channel subscribe for more trees and let me
know in the comments who you'd want to see next it's the 1400s and your a little DNA Henry viith king of englands to be precise with Elizabeth of York your DNA doesn't go to Princess Margaret or Henry VII rather the youngest daughter Mary Mary marri's Sir Charles Brandon and you travel to Lady Francis Brandon their daughter she married Lord Henry gray Duke of suffk Marquis of Dorset gray and they have Katherine gray you're now part of Catherine she had a close claim to the English Throne after Henry VII's children Edward Mary and Elizabeth however got
on bad terms with Elizabeth but Katherine married Edward Seymour the nephew of Jane Seymour Henry VIII's third wife and two boys pop out Edward and Thomas history made you go through Thomas Seymour he had elene who had Margaret who had Robert John Abigail charity and Mary it is now the 1700s and Mary Parsons married the first Harris Robert up until now you remained in England but with their child Richard he moved to Jamaica and that is where you ended up he met a girl Mary huum royes and the two of you had a son Thomas
Harris he was described as a free man of color what this means is Mary huum royes his mother was probably black if Richard was black it means either Mary Parsons or Robert Harris was black and during the time of British slavery it was too risky and unlikely to be in an intermarriage if Mary hug royes was a colored woman it means she could have been a slave or a freed colored woman if she was a slave Thomas Harris could have been bought free by his father Richard all possibilities we don't know the real truth either
way Thomas Harris a free man of color married Jane Watson and they had James Henry Harris who married Elizabeth Brown they had Joseph Alexander Harris this is what he looked like he is clearly mixed and he was a prominent businessman in Jamaica Joseph married Christiana Brown who had Oscar Harris Cristiana Brown was a descendant of a slave who who had a child with her Irish Plantation owner Hamilton Brown you see with Oscar he got married in 1952 to Voris Cambridge but then in 1963 a new article appears about the marriage of his son Donald but
vorus is not listed as the mother rather another woman barl finegan odd to be married and have an outof wedlocked child published would be humiliating to vorus unless they were divorced but I don't see any records of that then in 19 70 a marriage certificate of one Enid ma Harris States the father of Enid is Oscar but the mother is another woman perline Curry not sure what happened to perline but vorus died in 2019 and Barrel 1995 either way however Oscar decided to fling himself around history puts you little DNA into Donald Harris Donald was
born in Jamaica and moved to the US for Graduate Studies at the University of California Berkeley he became a professor at Stanford while in graduate school he met shamala gopalan the daughter of a civil servant in India she was there studying as well they were married from 1963 to 1971 in America and in 1964 kamla was born in California and her younger sister Maya in 1967 Maya had a daughter with an unknown man her name is Mina Maya married Tony West in 1998 Mina married Nicholas ajagu and they have two young daughters Amara and Leela
Kamala married a divorce Doug mhof in 2014 he has two children from his first marriage Cole and Ella here's the thing though if we go back to her 12th great-grandfather Thomas Seymour and instead travel down his Elder brother's line we would come out as a lord Duke Lady Jane Seymour Earl Earl maress Duchess a bentin a bentin count the Queen Mother then the queen and then King Charles III and that makes Kamala and King Charles II 12th cousins five times removed so through Katherine gray and Edward Seymour they are both related and King Henry viith
is her distant ancestor and that brings us to the end of this video I hope you enjoyed it if you want to see more family trees I do have lots more on my channel subscribe for more each of your subscriptions does help this channel grow it allows me to continue making more content for you let me know in the comments who you'd want to see next I do make a list of all your suggestions and I will see you in the next one
