Geographic Ancestry

hunterhoytlewis1

Does anyone know if there is a way to find out your geographic ancestry or race percentages? My family tree can be traced back pretty far so I feel like I should be able to narrow it down somewhat to what my origins are as far as how much of my ancestors come from Wales, Scotland, England, etc. Is there a way to see what my percentage is using FamilySearch without taking one of those DNA tests?

Hi @hunterhoytlewis1. This shows you by percentages where your ancestors were born:

The other tabs on that page might also be of interest to you.

@GFre Very interesting link! Will this link permit a selection of another person besides yourself, such as your wife or a friend? If so how?

@AlexS41 Unfortunately, I think it's locked to the account holder. Anyone else would need their own account.

@GFre Thanks! I felt that might be the case.

Interesting math …

(The 1% is me.)

You can get a numberless, visual version of kind of the same thing if you use the fan chart view and set it to color by birth place.

The advantage of the chart is that you can center it on any deceased person, or on any living person's profile that you've entered.
