4 Months: Chart

Update: Charts are superseded by the ones in this post.

August's immigrant ancestry:

Only those portions which are known with certainty are represented here.

The problem is that we don't have as much information on all of Augusts' immigrant ancestors as we do about Mary's mother's grandparents—who were relatively-recent immigrants, from Slovenia and Czech Republic (apologies for spelling on the chart). Those segments, therefore, get magnified out of proportion when viewed against what we do know. The reality is that the majority of the "[Unknown]" section will more German/Prussian, Swiss, English, Irish.

Stay tuned for a chart that is a bit less scientifically rigorous but much more colorful and probably closer to accurate.
