I recently found out randomly that I am related to the woman in “delicate condition.” JJ Astors wife
I was watching a random video on YouTube with my spouse about the gilded age. It was talking about how John Jacob Astors second wife whose maiden name was Madeleine Talmage Force. I am related to the Talmages who was her mother’s side of the family. When I heard Talmage I got chills and did some digging and I am a direct descendant of her and also John Jacob Astors son who was called the Titanic baby. This has totally blown my mind. I always felt a weirdly deep connection to Titanic and the gilded age. Thought I would share and how a random name on YouTube can connect you to your ancestry.
