Immigrant Ship
From the piles of papers I’ve accumulated in my genealogy research I am now compiling a list of my immigrant ancestors who came to America – who, when, what year, etc.
Following is my draft so far: Sorry, I’m having trouble copying the Word document
On the weekend before Memorial Day I was visiting home territory in Boston Massachusetts. While there I visited the cemetery in Winchester where my father and my maternal grandparents and great aunt are buried. I had been wanting to do this for a long time. My last and only previous visit to the Winchester cemetery had been 60 years ago in August 1957, the day of my grandfather’s funeral.
This book has a great deal of information re my ancestors. I’ll go into detail in future posts.
This marker is for my 9th Great Grandfather. This is intriguing because I vaguely remember visiting relations named Botsford in the Boston area. I will pursue this further.
In reality my 9 Generations Chart has a few gaps in the tree, starting with Generation 7 where there are 10 ancestors missing.
Generation 7 should have 64 ancestors but there are only 54 identified
Generation 1 – Me
Generation 2 – My Parents
Generation 3 – My Grandparents 4 people
Generation 4 – My Great Grandparents 8 people
Generation 5 – My Great Great Grandparents 16 people
Generation 6 – My 3X Great Grandparents 32 people
Generation 7 – My 4X Great Grandparents 64 people
Generation 8 – My 5X Great Grandparents 128 people
Generation 9 – My 6X Great Grandparents 256 people
Ideally there should be 511 people on the tree
I searched again for the missing parents of Agnes Lee. Agnes Lee is in Generation 6. No luck in finding her missing parents in Generation 7. So that means I’m also missing her 4 grandparents and 8 great grandparents in generations 8 and 9. Things compound rapidly.
Family members are so impressed with my 9 generations genealogy chart – there is a clamour for more. On I go. Next thing you know the cat will want to be included also.
