Roots - 8 Great-Great Grands

Roots 8 Great-Grands!

A few weeks ago, Randy Seaver of Randy's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun threw out a Saturday night genealogy challenge:

Do you have a pedigree chart that shows you as #1 and goes back five generations? If not, you should make one! Fire up your software program and create a report and save it (you'll see why in a minute!).

Here is your SNGF assignment for the evening (if you choose to accept it - this is not stump the genealogist or even Mission Impossible):

1.List your 16 great-great-grandparents in pedigree chart order. List their birth and death years and places.
2.Figure out the dominant ethnicity or nationality of each of them.
3.Calculate your ancestral ethnicity or nationality by adding them up for the 16 - 6.25% for each (obviously, this is approximate).
4.If you don't know all 16 of your great-great-grandparents, then do it for the last full generation you have.
5.Write your own blog post, or make a comment on Facebook or in this post.
Here's mine:
Well I don't have all the information on two of mine so I am posting my 8 great grandparents. This was a neat idea! Maybe someone will find me out there. I am going to post as much information on my 16 Great-Great-Grands as I have ....

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your 16 Great-Great-Grands
It's almost Saturday Night - time for some Genealogy Fun!

Do you have a pedigree chart that shows you as #1 and goes back five generations? If not, you should make one! Fire up your software program and create a report and save it (you'll see why in am inute!).


Genealogy today was 13.0 hours - 2 hours reading email and blogs, 4.5 hours writing blog posts, 3.0 hour researching on WVR since it's free for three days, Went to the Huntington Beach Library (Genealogy and computer sections) today for 3.5 hours to review films and check some books for information on NY state. Looking for Adolphus Ames in New York state is consuming a lot of time. I'm tired.
Cooked dinner for Bill and I. We had homemade chicken soup, green salad, and dessert was yogurt and fruit. Then watched my favorite TV show on DVR: CSI Miami.
It's been a long day and evening.
