Our Genealogy Pie

If you look at all 32 of our children's great-great-great grandparents according to where they are born, then they are 59% American, 38% European, and 3% Canadian, aye. This was kind of fun.




An interesting thing is, that those same 32 great-great-great grandparents have very different death places. Many immigrated to American. In fact, look how different the percentages are if you look at where they died and not where they are born.



So the question is, what nationality are we anyway? Every generation it changes. For example, one generation you can be 50% German and the next generation if all the kids are born out of Germany, we could be 0% German, looking only at the new generation. It changes according to what angle you look at it. Much more research will be done, but it's fun to look at.
