Hello - I was sitting in the chat room reading profiles and I see your statement that you have traced one line for 102 generations. That is amazing! If an average generation is 20 years, that is before the time of Christ. If an average generation is 25 years that is 500 BC. How did you do that? I am stuck on my Averys at 5 generations to 1784.
