It may not be an order at the moment. Because I'm writing it down and it's just by date, I guess. What are your recommendations?This is rather wild and I need to get some blanks free ones hopefully. To figure this out, can I use several copies of the 5 generation? And put part one in part two

    What a good idea to keep a pedigree chart with them. In the UK I have most of my birth and death certs are digital images I've downloaded from the government site .

    Gamewell was the company. Theyre still in use around the northeast. These run on telegraph lines that call out the box number back to central location in the telegraph loop, usually a 100mA loop.

    @zackbarkley7593 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    1The percentage depends on subjective and arbitrary definitions and questionable assumptions. In a reasonably mixing population, you are pretty much related to everyone else to a maximum degree from 600 years ago, and the only real differences come from a handful in quantity selected traits and genes for say skin color (out of 26000 possible) which are important to survive solar exposure differences. Its a drop in the bucket between Irish and English, and probably even Gentile and Jew, or Norwegian and Egyptian after several centuries. Its even more extreme for a small set of extremely important genes. For example, the gene for complex language rapidly spread thtoughout the entire human population in a few thousand years from Asia to N Europe. You are pretty much related to everyone in some way.

    • @EasyGenie
      @EasyGenie 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've been thinking about this. Going 10 generations back (roughly 300 years) you have a little over 1,024 direct ancestors; 10 more generations is a million; and 30 generations it's a billion people (or somewhat less with intermarriage). Even if the "ethnicity estimate" states 100% from some region, there are bound to be a small number from places far distant, even at 10 generations. By that point, their SNPs may be washed out of the mix and therefore undetectable.

    Some folks like to keep their genealogy private and your forms allow that. Ancestry takes possession of ALL the information you gather on your families and then charge you for your own information. I found that out when Ancestry took possession of data I and my sister obtained and shared on sites like Rootsweb, etc. So, I no longer utilize Ancestry for much any longer. I can create my charts, etc., with what you provided and keep it private.

    Thanks for the tips. I have been busy organizing mine and my parents pictures as well as my grandparent's pictures. My grandparents saved all of their parents pictures and my great grandparents saved the majority of their parents pictures as well. I have found pictures from the 1850's to current times. I have the majority sorted by family, but still have a lot of duplicates and bad pictures to get rid of. I had thought about either doing binders on the different branches but also thought about Scrapbook albums too. Not really sure. If I do Scrapbook albums I will be sure to use photo corners for the older photos.
