The ancestor count has now reached 6000. Can you believe it? And I’m not finished yet.

More About The Nine Generations Chart May 3, 2017
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.
Genealogy – Blog 3 – My Chart July 9, 2015
This is my board covered with post-its of the ancestors. Each color represents a different generation. Just looking at where a person comes in the ladder of parent to child doesn’t always correspond to the times lived in by the majority of others on that rung. There are some anomalies but I’ll try to explain them where they occur.
The strong yellow post-its represent my grandparents.
The green my great grandparents.
The orange my great great grandparents.
The pale yellow my great great great grandparents. 
The pink my 4greats grandparents.
The light purple my 5greats grandparents.
The deep red my 6greats grandparents.
The deep purple my 7greats grandparents
The pale blue my 8greats grandparents
