My Sixteen Great-Great-Grandparents
Tracing and documenting all 16 great great-grandparents
‘Mightier Acorns’ suggests that family historians should give more attention to “tracing and documenting all 16 great great-grandparents”.
I agree. Here's mine, with links to their Wikitree profiles.
Philip Champion de Crespigny (1850 - 1927) married 1877
Annie Frances (Chauncy) Champion Crespigny (1857 - 1883)
Edward Walter Hughes (1854 - 1922) married 1883
James Francis Cudmore (1837 - 1912) married 1867
Margaret (Budge) Cudmore (1845 - 1912)
Wentworth (Cavenagh) Cavenagh-Mainwaring (1822 - 1895) married 1865
Ellen Jane (Mainwaring) Cavenagh-Mainwaring (1845 - 1920)
Johann August (Bolz) Boltz (1839 - 1916) married 1868
Friederike Wilhelmine (Bamberg) Boltz (1844 - 1926)
Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Bertz (1854 - 1932) married 1884
Wilhelmine Henrietta (Ritter) Bertz (1862 - 1942)

Gustav Waldemar Alexander Karl Peters (1860 - 1904) married 1890
Agnes Helene Louise (Stern) Peters (1861 - 1918)
My great great grandparents were born in the United Kingdom, Australia, or what is now Germany (formerly Prussia or Baden).
In my family, this generation was born between 1822 and 1862 and died between 1883 and 1942.
The age at marriage for these of my ancestors ranged from 20 to 43. For men it was just over 30; the youngest man was 27 and the oldest 43. For women it was just over 23; the youngest woman was 20 and the oldest 29.
Age at death ranged from 26 to 82; the average was 69.
I look forward to researching and writing more about my great great grandparents.
Do any of these surnames connect to your family tree?
Paternal lines: United Kingdom and Australia: Champion de Crespigny, Chauncy, Hughes, Hawkins, Cudmore, Budge, Cavenagh Mainwaring

Love this graphic. It’s so easy to see the connection. What tool did you use to create it?
I love to search other people’s research surnames, “just in case” one of mine might pop up. Sadly, none of yours do. But it was fun to see where your ancestors were born/died. Cheers.
