Wonderful that you have such a nice collection of photographs.
I did a 6-generation matrilineal collage for my mom for Mother's Day. Like yours, it goes back to my 2nd-great-grandmother, and ends with my daughter. The interesting thing is that each daughter was a firstborn only daughter (3 generations, an only child). I know the sex of a child is determined by the father, but I think it would be cool if my daughter would keep up this trend and have a firstborn girl (when she has a baby).
