My Ancestry in Maps

- Today I'm doing something different but important to me, that is going over my #genealogy or in other words my #familyhistory I won't be looking at specific family members in depth but am rather simply going to say the names of every ancestor that I know of, that is on my family tree, and put a pin on some maps with where they were born to see how it shapes out!
If their country or state here in the United States is listed on their record but is not specific then I will have a pin for those things added off of the maps. If I do not know I am generally assuming they were born in the USA as most of my lines have been here for quite some time. If you hear me say a name but don't see a pin added then there is already a pin on the map for where they were born as some of these families had several generations in the same town.
Please feel free to do something similar and to let me know how it goes!
This is really cool! I’d love to give you my family tree so you could map my ancestors out for me. It really personalizes it and makes you think what their lives might have looked like, what their home and town would have looked like, what their days consisted of. Very well done!
This is awesome!
Its neat but since yr quoting scriptures thought of a few thats relevant when talking ancestry - pretty much all of Matthew 23, 1 Kings 8:57, Zechariah 1:4, 1 Peter 1:18,19 - Joshua 25:15, Matthew 1 1-25, 1 Timothy 1-3, Luke 3:23-38. The perspective it brought to me especially was the literal meaning behind the common feeling that everyone is family if we take it back far enough - to the degree they settled and then the next generation moved on clearly shows that was no doubt what mankind was doing throughout history - I often think that the story of the ten lost tribes of Israel to be an allegory for the wanderings ppl take - so theres a dual meaning for the literal tribes who were moved from their ancestral home and forgot where they came from(it may have taken awhile and apparently some returned to Israel after the Babylonian exodus. A rhetorical meaning is the blessing it was to their neighbors when they remained witnesses for God and shared philosophy together which makes a better meal than bread alone - Idk how difficult it mustve been for ppl indoctrinated into insular conditions to overcome their tradition and begin sharing with others such as Greeks, Romans etc. to be fair there seems to be a lot of influence from the surrounding middle east on the children of Israel - indeed without the Greeks and Romans there would be no Christianity as we know it since the land was steeped in Greek culture and philosophy, Egyptian and Babylonian not to mention the older influences from Sumer on Abraham - what a guy, he is the archtypical seeker looking for a fertile place as many of our ancestors must have. My mother was adopted during early WW2 by a freemason couple who couldnt have children - she looked and could only find the name Bianconi - I can imagine genealogy mustve been an expensive pursuit back a few decades ago and at some point can see it taking a bit of cleverness to sus out the line of ancestry. On her own my daughter did a DNA swab and its every bit as interesting as you would think. Its a place to start and for that Im grateful also appreciate what you did here making the start of a United Nations of You. Stay frosty
I want to go through and trace my family back someday. My sister’s done a bit, but there’s still a ton to do.
