You're Not Done Yet

Well today's blog post comes from Randy Seaver's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun, which yes, I'm doing on Sunday afternoon.
My title "You're Not Done Yet" comes from my son and my nephews. When we visited my in-laws, the boys were constantly saying "not done", "not done" over and over back and forth when they were eating their meal.
Well just like preschoolers are "not done" with their meal, we are "not done" with our genealogy. Run this check and find out for yourself:

Okay there is my chart. So for 10 generations I have 164 people identified out of 1023 which is 16%.
I can go back 16 generations although my info is slim on those last 2 generations. My total for 16 generations is 251 ancestors (direct line) identified out of 65,535 people which is 0.383%.

So I'm NOT DONE! That's good because genealogy is SO much fun!
