The generation numbers from the Hundred Generation ahnentafel system that I devised in 2005 when Wikitree was still germinating are being revised. I moved generation 100 from the first one in the 20th century to the last specifically to sync generation 101 as the first of the new millennium and—by coincidence?—of Wikitree.

Hello Deborah, I see you have a brick wall on Godwin line my first cousin brittany her last name is Godwin , daughter of Mike godwin.. she is my cousin on my father's side. It looks like you are my 3rd cousin on my mom's side. I haven't started working on her line yet but maybe there's a connection between the two of you? Just Maybe ,?

I found this site by accident while trying to link a woman to her parents on Find A Grave. This was the only accessible citation — all the rest were behind a paid wall.

What a great idea this is. I’m impressed by the concept, the honor code, the mission, & the developers’ sly sense of humor.

In 2004, I accidentally invented an ahnentafel system. I didn’t know what one was, or that a traditional system had existed for 400 years. Intending to patent it, I thought about applications, started researching my own genealogy, & found a new passion that complemented my existing passion for history. I put ordinary people in historical context so they’re more than names & dates on a page. I research the news events they lived through and the history of their time & place. Then I write narratives.
