Family History Fun: Pedigree Pie

ctr sweetie

Who likes pie? 🙌 Me. Who else in your family likes pie? My aunt, grandpa, and cousin. You might enjoy it during the holidays 🎄 or for a special occasion 🎉. Maybe it's your go-to sweet snack. Or, maybe pizza 🍕 is your kind of pie. But, have you tried your "pedigree pie?" Check out this fun and unique way to look at your family tree. Look at up to 6 generations on both sides of the family. Even if your family tree is bare in spots, use the unknown predictor to see what it might look like complete. Then, check out your homeland percentages. Look at how it changes with different starting persons.

Thanks for reminding me to check this out again. Pedigree Pie is a fun app. Check out the colors of my ancestry. (Well, I am pretty much just European, but it is still fun to see the visual!) My DNA matches up pretty well with my paper trail too.

Thanks for sharing, I was unaware of this. I used it on a computer. Someone mentioned using the app. Is there an app? I couldn't find it, though I do have an Android Phone.

I don't believe there is an app. This tool was created quite a few years ago, and they've added a few features. But, not an app of which I'm aware. I like that idea, though. The FamilySearch fan shares a few similarities, but I like the percentages based on birth place; it's like a mini-DNA result without taking a DNA test. It's a fun discovery experience for youth! I'm glad that it's still available.😊

This is wonderful. Thank you! I love the ease this gives of comparing it to my DNA results. It is a great way to see those "brick walls" that are black on the chart to know right away where I need to focus my research.
