Randy Seaver's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun looked interesting. I guess it's still ok to participate on Sunday afternoon....
It took only about 3 minutes to make the graph at Kid Zone's "Create a Graph" and represents the birthplaces of my great-great-grandparents.
My sixteen great-greats, with abbreviated info, are:
William CARR (1840-1916?) -- Yorkshire
Jane ETHELL (1841- after 1901) -- Yorkshire
Charles CAUSIER (1836-1912) -- born Worcestershire, died Wisconsin
Catherine HUGHES (1838-1911) -- born Staffordshire, died Wisconsin
Carl Benjamin HEGWER (1791-1860) -- born Silesia, died Kansas
Maria Rosina ILGNER (1801-1873) -- born Silesia, died Kansas
John D. RICHARDSON (1829-1908) -- Missouri
Isabella SHAW (1828-1877) -- born Ohio, died Missouri
parents of Patrick KEATING -- unknown Ireland
parents of Cathrine DOOLEY -- unknown probably Ireland, possibly but unlikely
Canada
Homer Thomas PORTER (1813-1903) -- Vermont
Dolly Ann BATES (1823-1892) -- born Vermont, died Montana
Titus DAVISON (1804-1900) -- Vermont
Hannah Field BASCOM (1808-1881) -- Vermont
If I use the location of their deaths, I get a different picture. I've kept the same people in the same color or with a different value of the original color.
It's a little complicated not knowing four of the 16 at all. This activity has certainly reminded me that that generation saw a lot of major changes in their lives.
A more specific problem this activity has reminded me of is that I've found info to make me think that the death date/location I have for William CARR could be wrong. I've got to add that investigation to my TO-Do list!
