Tuesday Task.....Find a Flag

England



Wales
When one of my sons was about 12 years old he was working on the Genealogy Merit Badge for Boy Scouts.  One requirement was to do a 4-generation pedigree chart.  He carefully filled it out by copying the information from both of his grandmas.
Scotland
Then we went to a store that sold small flags and bought a flag for each country that was on his pedigree chart. It was a good visual to show how diverse our heritage and background can be.
Norway

Gold flecks - Now why don't you search for information on your own ancestors...

Where Do I Come From?

My ancestors come from many different countries. While looking at some old pedigree charts I discover that I have ancestors from these different countries:
  • England
  • Wales
  • Scotland
  • Ireland
  • Norway
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
(Actually, Switzerland is from my step-dad, Grant Lester Anderson's ancestors, and Norway and Sweden are from my hubby's family)
       What family stories can I find?
