Jumping on the Birthplace Chart Bandwagon




The latest craze is doing a five or six generation pedigree type chart that shows birthplaces rather than names – with each unique birthplace a different color.  While some of them are a riot of colors, as a second generation American, mine is very dull. Another generation would just add more blue.

My children's 6 generation chart is much more colorful. Until I made this chart, I'd forgotten that their father had Bohemian ancestry on both sides of his family
