Saturday Challenge- Birth Orders


I actually got time to finish one of Randy Seaver's Genealogy Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Challenges this week for the first time in awhile:

For this week's mission (should you decide to accept it), I challenge you to:

1)   
Pick one of your ancestral lines - any one - patrilineal, matrilineal, zigzag, from a famous ancestor, etc.  Pick a long one if you can.

2)  Tell us which position in the birth order that your ancestor was in each generation.  For example "third child, first son."  Also list how many children were born to these parents.  


1.     Nancy Ward Remling (1965-….) last child of three by a long shot of Gordon J and Alice (Wooster) Ward.
Dad and I 1975

2.     Gordon J Ward (1919-1998) third son of three of William J and Frances (Ingalls) Ward.
3.     William J Ward (1887-1962) fifth child (second son) of six children of John S and Maria (Titus) Ward.
William Ward

4.     John S Ward (1854-1932) second son of nine children of William and Mary (Blackwell) Ward (4 sons 5 daughters although I’ve seen a listing of 2 additional mystery children in England before immigration I'm not sure if they actually existed).

5.     William Ward (1930-1902) fourth child and first son of nine children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Wood) Ward. (4 sons and 5 daughters).
