It is a pretty neat way to visualize this information and see where those patterns are and how families have moved.
I also have my big question marks because my paternal great-grandfather was adopted. We are pretty sure he was born in OH, but I should probably put a question mark there as well.

I also then created a chart based on Counties to see how much things changed. I actually expected more change than I saw, which surprised me. I know if I expanded out a few generations that would certainly change. But this chart is a bit more detailed.

Where I do see quite a bit of changes is when I changed the chart to show the counties where folks died.

So, these color charts are fun but also give you a quick visual aide with some useful information at a glance.
