I’ve added a little guide to calculating your family tree in less than an hour if you have a tree on Ancestry.com.
1. View the family tree pedigree on Ancestry.com for one of your parents.The last generation shown are your 3rd great-grandparents (GGP).
As you click the arrow after each 3rd GGP, their branch opens to show up to the 7th generation.
2. Count how many 4th, 5th, 6th, & 7th GGPs you have and added them to the box indicated on this chart
Ancestors possible for 4th – 7th generation using this chart:
4th generation column – 2
5th generation column – 4
6th generation column – 8
7th generation column – 16
4th generation column – 2
5th generation column – 4
6th generation column – 8
7th generation column – 16
Complete one of these for each one of your parents.
3. Add to the chart and calculate your percentage 🙂
Happy New Year!!!
