I seem to get around to the every two years. It started in 2012, with follow ups in 2015 and 2017. Now it’s 2019, so I thought I’d provide another update.
I found 10 new ancestors! And, it’s possible that there are two more third great-grandparents, four more fourth greats, and two more fifth greats (gotta love DNA!). One of my projects for 2020 is working through these potential ancestors.
These new-found ancestors were all on my mom’s side—the Germans! It’s pretty cool that I’m getting closer to identifying all of my third great-grandparents (all 32 of them!). And, if I can get through the church records I amassed this year, I might be able to identify more fourth and fifth great-grandparents.
I think this is a neat way to visually see just what I’ve accomplished over the years. It reminds me that our research is never done, and that if you stick with it, you can find those elusive ancestors.
