This is doing the rounds again online just now - a template from 2016 on J. Paul Hawthorne's blog, GeneaSpy, on which you can create a colour chart using Excel to plot where your ancestors were born. You can find it on https://www.geneaspy.com/2016/03/a-little-thing-that-went-viral.html.
This is my attempt using the chart template today for 5 generations:
And an earlier attempt at seven generations which I put together in 2016!
The suggestion is that you create a chart and then use the hashtag #MyColorfulAncestry
It's a bit of fun, and a useful visual aid to see where your research is currently at - have fun!
