My Ancestor Score 2022

I cannot believe I am one day late although I really wanted to publish this on time for Valentine’s Day.

I even committed on Cathy Meder-Dempsey’s blog on her Ancestor Score for 2022

I did make some progress in 2021 – and in the first month of 2022. But I also had a set back as I had to realize that I had falsely “identified” my 4th great grandparents.

Ancestor Score Barbara Schmidt as of Feb 14, 2022

I have the first break in my 5th generation where I cannot find the parents of my great-grandmother Anna PETZ from Korschen in East Prussia (today’s Korsze in Poland).

But I was a bit more successful one generation up. I concentrated a lot more on my mother’s family tree last year and could identify the parents of my 2nd great grandfather Gottfried David RIBBE.

And just the last couple of weeks I was successful on my father’s side in Saxony again. Archion published the digitized church records from the respective archive which meant some nightshifts 🙂

This is the baptism entry of my 4th great grandmother Friederica Dorothea Maria ESCH from 1803.

And guess what I found? My fifth direct line with the last name SCHMIDT. As if four are not enough already!

Do you build your ancestor score? It is a nice gimmick, I have to admit.
