Day 23: Fearless Females: Timeline

March 23 Prompt— Create a timeline for a female ancestor using your favorite software program or an online timeline generator such as OurTimelines. Post an image of it or link. 

OurTimelines.com is a great website. I have generated timelines for various ancestors in the past. I find them very helpful in placing my ancestors lives into a historical context. I chose to share Minnie Crane's timeline in this post. I wish the website had a function which allowed to choose which countries to focus on during each time period. Minnie was born in Russia, and many of the events the timeline inserts, such as Hawaii being organized as a Territory in 1900 probably had little effect on her family's life in Russia. I love the feature where the timeline calculates how old Minnie was during each event. Note: Minnie's personal events are in Yellow.
