SATURDAY NIGHT GENEALOGY FUN: THE GREAT GREATS!

I was in a motel room in Gorham NH when I saw this week's Saturday Night
Genealogy Fun over at Randy Seavers' Genea-Musings. So I had to wait until this
afternoon to post mine after I came home and posted some Ellingwood Reunion
Pictures to FB and some gravestone pictures to the Maine Genealogy Network
site. Anyhow, the challenge is to list my 16 great great grandparents and
figure out their ethnicity and what percentage of the 16 came from what
nationality

Here are my 16 great great grandparents:

9 UNKNOWN White Father of Edward J. White born (date unknown) in Ireland

10. UNKNOWN Mother of Edward J. White born (date unknown) in Ireland

11 UNKNOWN Offinger(Offlincher, Offlincer) father of Pauline Offinger born

14. Nora UNKNOWN was born (date unknown) in Ireland.

15. Patrick Kelley was born (date unknown)in Ireland. Anne Byrne and Patrick Kelley

16. Anne Byrne was born (date unknown) in Ireland.

Well, it's pretty obvious that overall their ethnicity is 100% European. Of that,
the dominant nationality was English at 50% of the great greats, all on my
Dad's side, all descendants of early Massachusetts settlers. Of the remaining 8 from
my Mom's side, 6 were from Ireland for 37.5% and the remaining 12.5% come from
the two Offinger great greats who tradition says were German!
