Ancestral Chart
(through 15 generations)

A ¿ symbol indicates that the names of this person's parents are not known.

A ¤ symbol indicates that this person emigrated to the United States from the country indicated (if known).

A person whose name is in blue is a person who emigrated to what is now the United States.

A person whose name is in green is a person who did not live in what is now the United States.

The chart is very large. But consider this:

Covering 15 generations of ancestors, it would contain 32,766 names if it were complete

(though because of potential duplication of names, it is possible that fewer than 32,766 individuals would be recorded).

 

Yet the chart identifies only 369 individuals. (A person is considered identified if their first name is known.)

This means only 1.13% of possible ancestors have been identified.

Imagine the size of the chart with a percentage of 10, 20, 50, 75 or even 100!!!

 

Here is what it looks like generation by generation:
