I'm afraid my map will be verrrry boring because I can trace one great-grandmother to Ireland, specific spot unknown, and one line to Germany. Most of my lines have been here in the US forever and I can't take them back any further. I do like how your European cluster looks like a chrysanthemum. Some of those screen shots would be fun to frame for a genealogy display.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-37730617662207131982013-10-15T20:27:31.330-07:002013-10-15T20:27:31.330-07:00This looks so cool, Jana!
