Genealogy Fun- 16 Great-Great-Grands

I know it's not a Saturday night, but I came upon this Saturday Night Genealogy Fun post by Randy on his blog Genea-Musings: Your 16 Great-Great-Grands and thought I'd give it a try! (Thanks Randy!) 

Here is the challenge: 

1) List your 16 great-great-grandparents in pedigree chart order. List their birth and death years and places.

2) Figure out the dominant ethnicity or nationality of each of them.

3) Calculate your ancestral ethnicity or nationality by adding them up for the 16- 6.25% for each (obviously, this is approximate). 

4) If you don't know all 16 of your great-great-grandparents, then do it for the last full generation you have.

5) Write your own blog post, or make a comment on Facebook or in this post. 

Here it goes!
