I think "my pedigree chart begins with me" means that I can trace from myself upwards. They require 4-6 generations.
I am amazed at how many lines can be traced back 10 or more generations -- heavy lifting done by people other than myself, I assure you!
Oh, forgot to mention. Husband is "Young, House, Manning, Collingwood, Luttecke, Curtis". Not one of which rings any particular bells.
