November 2020 - Largo Florida

alligator at Largo Nature Preserve


on the beach

A tidbit from one of my many genealogy websites......in order to be born, you needed:

2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1,024 eighth great-grandparents
2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total sum of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years.

Morning walkabout alone and then time at the pool enjoying the warm sunshine then visit with mum at ALF. I drove her 102 year old friend Lena whom she has known since she moved to this condo complex 25 years ago and they had a great visit. Lena was more agile than I thought and was able to get into my van!
