I am so pleased that genealogists like sharing what they do –
and encourage others to copy it, by asking how the rest of us compare to them!
Cathy Meder-Dempsey posted her “Ancestor Score” today, at https://openingdoorsinbrickwalls.wordpress.com/2015/02/14/my-ancestor-score-as-of-valentines-day-2015/,
copying an idea that she’d seen on another blog the previous year. What a good way of measuring one form of progress
in our research.
So here’s my ancestor score, based on the research carried
out by my parents:
I have added an extra column to those used by Cathy, so that I can also record the number of DNA
matches where I know the common ancestral couple.
Now seems a very appropriate time to “take stock” like this,
given that I will soon be working through my parents’ research as part of my "Genealogy Do-Over". Hopefully, by this time next year, I will not
only have confirmed all of these ancestors but also added a few more – and,
perhaps, also managed to identify a few more common ancestors with the thousands
of DNA matches that I have.
