Attempt Title: Largest
Genealogy Chart ever attempted
Attempt Date: Saturday, July 22, 2006
Attempt Location: United States
Place Name: West Union, WV 26456
Details: The Largest Family Tree Chart ever done. The Town of
West Union, WV, USA is sponsoring this in honor of the Town's 125th
Anniversary - Swiger Run History Museum docents will be running the
exhibit during a Festival held on July 22, 2006.
Several family trees have been
complied by local genealogical societies. We are in an area that has not
been easily accessed in the past (part of Appalachia) and most of these
family trees intersect at several points. We intend to generate an entry
for each person in these trees, and place it in place on a wall of
plywood. As fairgoers pass the tree, they will be encouraged to fill out
their own card and it will be pinned in place on the tree.
We feel we can increase the
database of individuals on these lines by 35%. The record may be based
on the size of the chart as well as the number of individuals listed.
Most genealogists do not do large charts (while they may have a large
database of individuals, large charts are not printable or copyable and
must be hand done.) We have enough with current information to fill
three pieces of plywood at present time and expect that another four
will be filled by the end of the festival.
