I realized that some of the names repeat so now I have to find how many ancestors I have that I have multiple lines to! I guess too many ancestors lived on Nantucket.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334757473759628047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851868154073731740.post-16240433328395637032012-08-18T13:18:17.844-05:002012-08-18T13:18:17.844-05:00@Russ, good luck on untangling that seventh genera...@Russ, good luck on untangling that seventh generation!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699560976080566224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851868154073731740.post-80386332693082150512012-08-18T07:54:10.279-05:002012-08-18T07:54:10.279-05:00Julie,

Thank you.<br /><br />Ran my numbers, base on your chart and I am at 25%.<br /><br />My "brick wall" is in the 7th generation, where I am looking for my ancestor who came to the colonies between 1650 and 1674 as a "young lad". I am hoping that a DNA Project will help sort out the ancestors in the UK, to go back further. I have seen hints back to the 1300's in that line, but can't untangle the 1600 - 1650 time frame (yet).<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851868154073731740.post-4543026968392054422012-08-17T21:26:49.947-05:002012-08-17T21:26:49.947-05:00Great idea, Julie.
