tweaking the ethnic pie filling
had to move another 0.15% to the unknown category due to confusion over Philip Judd (1740-1776) and Phillip Judd (1715-1745). If they are somehow the same person, then that would give me 6 more known 10x great-grandparents who would contribute an additional 0.1% English, 0.02% Scottish, and 0.02% Welsh to my pie chart. Until I can get me some better sources though, gonna have to rescind the CYMRU AM BYTH ! ! ! and stop claiming 1/4096 Welsh ancestry through William Lewis (1620 - 1690)
The Netherlands pretty much replaces Wales as my statistically insignificant nation of origin. With one 10x great-grandfather and one 11x great-grandmother, I am 3/8192 Dutch. WHOO HOO ! ! ! JE MAINTIENDRAI ! ! ! !
still a good percentage of purple, although it probably breaks down as 3% German and most of the rest English. Until I can get me some more info though, the mysterious parents of these 'Merican ancestors remain a vexing violet
3.12% = parents of Mary Frelick (abt 1838 - 1883)
1.56% = parents of Eli Rowell (abt 1818 - aft 1860)
1.56% = parents of Thomas Robinson (1803 - aft 1860)
1.56% = parents of Caroline Clarissa Covell (1817 - 1901)
0.78% = parents of Minerva Winslow (1800/1 - 1882)
0.78% = parents of William Howland (1788 - 1867) (not giving credence to any unsubstantiated rumors unless they can provide him with a mother)
0.39% = parents of Hannah Thompson (1777 - 1807)
0.20% = parents of Philip Judd (1740 - 1776)
0.20% = parents of Mary Smith (1721 - 1793)
0.20% = parents of Elizabeth Wiltse (1725 - 17??)
and a bunch more folks back Colonial times. Prolly almost all English with an occasional Irish or something. Still hoping to find an exotic 12x great-grandparent was a werewolf or something though
