A Carolina Girl~My Birthplace Pedigree Chart


Genealogist J. Paul Hawthorn created a pedigree chart that has taken the Genealogy world by storm. He shared his color-coded representation of the birth places of his ancestors and what soon followed was #MyColorfulAncestry mania.
 Everyone jumped on the bandwagon creating colorful charts filled with birth places far and wide. 
 Mine, however, looks like this:

Yes, I only have two colors. Other than my mom, who was born in North Carolina (her father happened to be working there) and my Great Grandfather's line, ALL the rest were born in South Carolina.
 They came, they settled, and they stayed. Even if I went back another generation, the chart would look much the same. 
A Carolina Girl through and through.

  2. Excellent chart, Cheri! Boy, do you have some deep roots in the Carolinas! Most of my ancestors in the latter part of the 1700's lived in North Carolina and I have a 3x great-grandmother born 1799 in South Carolina.
