Getting organised with Genealogy

Okay I start things too quickly sometimes but this blog will continue -I shall be taking a little rest as I reset myself. I have started a genealogy course today for 6 weeks

JUST FOR FUN
How many generations does it take before your ancestral tree reaches one million?

THE ANSWER IS

2 Parents
4 Grandparents
8 Great Grandparents
16 Great Great Grandparents
32 Great Great Great Grandparents
64 Great Great Great Great Grandparents
128 Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents
256 Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents
512 Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents
1024 Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents
and after just ten generations you then have
2,048
4,096
8,192
16,384
32,768
65,536
131,072
262,144
524,288
1,048,576
One million in only twenty generations! 



We have at present between 8 to 32 so it is time to get organised. Shall post on this blog page when I come up with usefully information for helping me or your research 😊
