I am blessed (cursed?) with a lot of families with large numbers of children.

I am thinking of re-running this analysis at each year's end to see my progress on end of line ancestors within those generations.Helen V Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388864214259507833.post-71671606646848303132012-09-05T17:05:30.049+10:002012-09-05T17:05:30.049+10:00So, I quickly checked two of my trees on Ancestry ...So, I quickly checked two of my trees on Ancestry (never the most accurate of my files). One file is called VERIFIED and I know everyone in that tree I have documentary evidence for. I have 17 per cent. In the other file, which I am positive has mistakes in it (I went a little leaf mad when the shaking leaves first appeared), I have 23 per cent. Both numbers grate!!! Time to get cracking on the branches of my tree, and stop fiddling with the pollen!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15095403114957347442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388864214259507833.post-48951139415188192792012-09-05T07:54:45.610+10:002012-09-05T07:54:45.610+10:00This is a great idea.

My tree has a lot of those end-of-line Irish though. Great post Helen.A O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420277609206963374noreply@blogger.com
