Ancestry
Receiving my AncestryDNA results prompted me to look again at family history research relating only to my direct ancestors. I had thought I was doing quite well – with one line going back ten generations to my 8x great-grandparents. However, because of the doubling of numbers at each generation, we all have mind-bogglingly large numbers of direct ancestors.
I’ve been having fun the last few days, thanks to the new update to the Ancestry app on the iPhone. It’s amazing. It looks lovely and is really easy to use. Swiping a finger from right to left of the screen to the left, means the display automatically moves to show the previous generation. A swipe to the right shows you the next generation. You can click on the person to see their individual timeline and also see all the evidence/original sources that you’ve associated with the person.
