Back in 2012, I wrote What\u2019s Your Number? (\u2026and an Epiphany)<\/a>, which prompted me to evaluate known ancestors in my direct line. I revisited the numbers again in 2015  in What\u2019s Your Number? \u2013 Revisited<\/a>. The point of the posts was to illustrate that genealogy is never \u201cdone.\u201d There are always new ancestors and collateral relatives to discover. Also, there\u2019s always more to learn about the individuals that make up your tree.<\/p>\n

I thought it would be nice to check in and see where my numbers are at today and compare that to the 2012 and 2015 numbers. Keep in mind that I have only counted ancestors that I have identified and am comfortable with the proof, excepting any unknown non-paternal event(s). I know I haven\u2019t lost any ancestors (whew!), but how many (if any) did I gain. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"What's<\/a><\/p>\n

Well it looks like I\u2019ve gained 12 ancestors. The gains were primarily on my Luxembourg lines, as I have been working on them, almost exclusively, for the last two years. <\/p>\n

My dad\u2019s lines are really shaping up, and I\u2019ve had some luck on my mom\u2019s paternal lines; it\u2019s my mom\u2019s maternal lines that are lacking. But the good news is, some of the work I\u2019ve been doing outside my Luxembourg families relates to my mom\u2019s maternal lines, as I connect with DNA matches on those lines. Maybe some day some of those walls will come tumbling down.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thrilled with these numbers. If I can add a few ancestors to my tree every couple of years, I\u2019m cool with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
