Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the
Mission Impossible! music) is to:
1) Determine where your ancestral families were on 12 January 1869 - 150 years ago.
2) List them, their family members, their birth years, and their residence location (as close as possible). Do you have a photograph of their residence, and does the residence still exist? How many do you have in each generation living in January 1869?
3) Tell us all about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook Status post.

We last did a post
like this in 2016. I have updated my post to include where the same people were
in 1869. Only one of my ancestors had died in the three years. The blue shading indicates my paternal line and the pink my maternal line.

You have a couple more ancestors alive in this year than I do (31 versus 29)!
ReplyDeleteWe're tied at 31. The range seems to be relatively small between all of our trees, but Randy is ahead with 35. Some of mine will forever remain unknown because of missing church records.
