What they did

1) Sign into AncestryDNA and collect regional percentages, subregional detail, and ancestral journeys. The author used screenshots, copied information, and an export through Share. 2) Create a NotebookLM notebook and upload these files as sources. Keep the task tied to the supplied results. 3) Choose Infographic and specify careful spelling, attractive individual scenes, and a coherent visual narrative. 4) Generate, revise the instructions, and regenerate until the grouping works. Compare labels and figures with the source results before using the visual in a family presentation.

How it went

The author's final image grouped related regional estimates and incorporated the Delaware Valley and Midwest migration journeys.

Worth knowing

Ethnicity estimates are population comparisons. The resulting illustration is a presentation of reported estimates, not evidence of a particular ancestor.
