My Trails into the Past

Ah, Genea-folks, it's   Saturday Night   again - are you ready for more   Genealogy Fun? Your mission tonight, should you decide to accept it, is to: 1)  List your 16 great-great-grandparents with their birth, death and marriage data (dates and places).  [Hint - you might use an Ancestral Name List from your software for this.] 2)  Determine the countries (or states) that these ancestors lived in at their birth and at their death. 3)  For extra credit, go make a "Heritage Pie" chart for the country of origin (birth place) for these 16 ancestors. [Hint: you could use the    chart generator   from   Kid Zone  for this.] [Note: Thank you to Sheri Fenley for the   "Heritage Pie" chart idea.] 4.  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a post on Facebook or google+.

    Albert M. Hork was born  10 Aug 1853 in Oberhundem, Westfalen [Germany] and died 26 May 1912 in Beaverton, Washington Co, Oregon.  He is buried at the St. Mary of the Valley Cemetery, Convent cemetery of Sisters of St. Mary's.      As you can see from the photo, the birth date is incorrect.  This is not the original tombstone.  The cemetery was moved to its current location several decades ago when the convent began leasing the land for commercial use.    Albert is the brother of my great-grandfather, Johan Anton Hork.  Albert served in many parishes in Nebraska and Missouri.
