I did the dame thing for my husband, and did the math for my kids.<br /><br />2: At 10 generations, my percentage is 56.7%, my husband's is 39.1% and my kids are at 62.17%.<br /><br />3: My chart is here: https://www.cx.com/mycx/share/Q12_L-phEeGp1BICOASQIQ/SNGFChallenge.pdf (this is my first try at this, so I hope it works).<br /><br />4: At 15 generations, my percentage is 8.2%. hubby's is 1.25% and my kids' 8.38%.<br /><br />It was a lot of work, but a great exercise.

Do a Statistics list report<br />2. For the "People to include" option choose "Select people from a list"<br />3. Highlight yourself<br />4. Click "Mark group", then "Ancestors of highlighted person"<br />5. Choose "Direct ancestors only and the number of generations to mark, then click OK.<br />6. Click "Generate Report"<br /><br />You will have a list of how many people were selected, how many were male vs female, etc.<br /><br />RootsMagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316415076585171608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-46070955057932469592012-08-18T14:06:19.744-07:002012-08-18T14:06:19.744-07:00Shoot!

It was interesting to see several of the professionals numbers so I decided to check my number. I was surprised that the number was so low as I have over 3000 people in my data file. They just are not direct line. I better get to working on the direct line to bring this numner up.<br /><br />Number of known ancestral names = 101<br />Number of possible ancestral names = 1,023<br />10 generation Ancestral Name Number = 101/1,023 = 9.87%<br /><br />Thanks for all you do for the genealogy community.Grandma Margie's Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520294560329680875noreply@blogger.com
