Mother's Mother's Mother

Or the bottom of the tree.  Isn't that the root?

Sister Betty has been working on our Mother's maternal line in our Ancestry.com family tree.  Since genealogy trees nearly always go father/mother, father/mother, the mother is always at the bottom of the tree.  The bottom of our tree goes all the way back to:

Esther Ruth Roth, born 1575, Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut; Death 1625, Westerly, Rohde Island.

Esther is our 11th great grandmother. Our line of Mother's Mother, in 3 parts.
