Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - My Heritage Pie Chart

I know, I know ... it's Monday but just saw this and thought it would be fun too!

Saturday's mission from Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings blog was:

1) List your 16 great-great-grandparents with their birth, death, and marriage data (dates & places).

2) Determine the countries (or states) that these ancestors lived in at their birth and at their death.

3) For extra credit, go make a "Heritage Pie" chart for the country of origin (birth place) for these 16 ancestors. [Hint: you could use the cart generator from Kid Zone for this.]

4) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a post on Facebook or google+.

WARNING: The following ancestors have been researched, but some of the information lacks standard sources. So please do not copy. Someday I hope that they will be fully sourced.

This was a good exercise as I can quickly see that I have 5 unknown great-great grandparents. Hopefully someone will see this and say "Hey, I know that guy's parents!".

Edited: 7:20pm - looked at this again and realized that I actually only have 4 unknowns and one from England that I did not input to the chart
