J. Paul Hawthorne created a five-generation pedigree chart showing ancestors' birthplaces. I filled in the chart with my ancestors' information. I went with Canada for my maternal grandfather's mother's birthplace, since it is the one that I believe is most likely to be correct, but Illinois is a possibility too. I wish I could list a birthplace more specific than United States for her father, but he is my biggest brick wall. If my theory is correct, his birthplace is New York, but I do not yet have sufficient evidence.
Thanks for posting, what a great and different way to look at our lineage.
