Instructions:
1) How old is one of your grandfathers now, or how old would he be if he had lived? Divide this number by 4 and round the number off to a whole number. This is your "roulette number."
2) Use your pedigree charts or your family tree genealogy software program to find the person with that number in your ancestral name list (some people call it an "ahnentafel"). Who is that person?
3) Tell us three facts about that person in your ancestral name list with the "roulette number."
Theodore Frank Acquard was born 21 Sept 1933, so he would be 77. 77/4 = 19.25, which we will put as 19. Spinning the ahnentafel chart, we get Jozefa Szydlik, my great-great-grandmother.
Jozefa was born 26 Sep 1886 in Poland. One of my goals for 2011 is to look into my Polish ancestry more and figure out where in Poland they came from. She came to New York state with her family and died in Warsaw, Warsaw Co., NY 4 Apr 1973. She was married to Franciszek Karpinski. Good thing we only need to give three facts because that is about all I have on her.
perhaps you mean Warsaw, Wyoming Co., New York?
