How many of your ancestors have you identified? Blaine Bettinger shared a spreadsheet on the Facebook group, “Genetic Genealogy Tips & Techniques” (GGT&T), where you can enter your data to get the percentage of known ancestors.
(NOTE: For future comparison, I did not include women whom I had identified only by their first name.)
At 7 generations, or back to my 5th great grandparents, I have identified 57% of my direct ancestors.
At 6 generations, or back to my 6th great grandparents, I have identified 83% of my direct ancestors.
What percentage have you identified? You can create your own spreadsheet, or download Blaine’s free spreadsheet in the files section of GGT&T.
