This message is going out to everyone in my genealogy address book.  There is no need to respond.

 

 

My friend Maria Teresa Everett requested information to give to a Canary Island researcher showing how she descended from Capitan Francisco Baez Benavides and another Canary Island ancestor. He wanted it for a Canary Island Genealogy Conference, something about Mozabite and Guanche ancestors.  I do not want to steal her thunder but you might want to GOOGLE those two.  I checked my records and found that she descends from Francisco dozens of way. Explaining those ways in a narrative would be difficult to do and equally difficult to read with comprehension.  I came by a single page solution that Maria Teresa and her researcher friend found to meet the task. Using my PAF database after some machinations involving exporting data to create a new database, I had what I needed.  The single page solution was a wall chart created using PAF Companion. This is not a wall chart you can print at home. This is a 3 feet by 3 feet chart that you can get printed at places like OfficeMax. PAF Companion comes with a printer driver to create pdf reports. Once the file is created you can save it to a thumb drive and take it to the printer. If you should ever decide to print anything this size, have the printer laminate it.  Lamination cost much more than printing, but try getting an un-laminated report home undamaged.

Here is some help should you want to create a wall chart. Before creating the report, I take the following steps in PAF Companion, I choose Print Setup, Progeny PDF Printer, Properties, Paper Size (Custom), Custom paper size in millimeters, width and length 900. After that I am ready for Ancestor Reports, Box Chart, 17 generations, select Publish and "Voila!" the chart appears.

 

Maria Teresa's research friend responded to the wall charts with "¡Me abrumas, son magníficos! Genial, genial."  He was very much impressed with them.  A wall chart is a visual presentation of a vast about of information clearly presented on one page.  Maria Teresa's wall charts got me to thinking.

Most of the hundreds of people in my genealogy address book descend from a common ancestor that I write about time and again. When I tell someone they descend from her dozens of ways they probably wonder what I mean. I am referring to Beatriz Quintanilla and her husband Diego Trevino. They are my 9^th, 10^th, 11^th and 12^th great grandparents. I have over 94,000 of their descendants in my database. This couple had four children and from them we have a legacy of probably over a million descendants. 

I have posted a wall chart online that shows how I descend from Beatriz (Use the link below to see it). Use the zoom in and out feature of your browser to see the details and the bottom left-right slider and right side, up-down slider to move about the chart.

From your keyboard hold down the Ctrl key and tap the + key to zoom in and – key to zoom out.

 

The first impression given by this ancestor tree is that it is a very well formed framework for being populated with only the descendants of Beatriz. Let me dispel the notion that I am grossly inbred.

 

What does it mean to be a ##^th great grandparent? We have 16,384 12^th grandparents, 8,182 11^th great grandparents, 4,096 10^th great grandparents and 2,048 9^th great grandparents. This chart only deals with how I descend from one of them Beatriz Quintanilla. What I am trying to say is that even though I descend from Beatriz dozens of way, she is still a very small part of my entire ancestry.

 

Wall Charts make an impressive visual for a genealogy conference or family history presentation.
