SNGF – "Heritage Pie Chart" – Troy’s side
A few weeks ago Randy Seaver posted a Saturday Night Geneaology Fun Challenge. It’s taken me this long to get to it!
Your mission tonight, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1. List your 16 great-great-grandparents with their birth, death and marriage data (dates and places). [Hint – you might use an Ancestral Name List from your software for this.]
2. Determine the countries (or states) that these ancestors lived in at their birth and at their death.
3. For extra credit, go make a “Heritage Pie” chart for the country of origin (birth place) for these 16 ancestors. [Hint: you could use the chart generator from Kid Zone for this.] [Note: Thank you to Sheri Fenley for the “Heritage Pie” chart idea.]
4. Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a post on Facebook or google+.
As you can see, this was the immigrating generation! Take a look at the raw data:
Here’s the details on everyone.
I just used the “narrative report” option in Roots Magic to get all this information. It’s pretty long to read through, but this may help someone who’s doing a google search on these same ancestors – I’d love to meet new cousins! You can really tell who I’ve done the most research on!
