If you stay around the same area for life everyone does seem to be related in some way or other though. In my teens it transpired that my best friend at school is actually some form of "numbered/removed" cousin... my grandfather and his great-grandfather were 1st cousins. So not even that distant

[edit]3rd cousins once removed. I've just used a calcumerlator on google

Actually, Gavins surname is Scottish and I think one of his relatives did a family history search and they're from Scotland going back not too long ago, so he might be related to you both TS and LT Both my parents have very irish names though, it would be interesting to do a search, where do you even start with it?

If we assume that there is a new generation every twenty-five years, an ancestor born 1,000 years before you would be 40 generations removed from you. You would have 2,199,023,255,550 (that’s 2 trillion, 199 billion, 23 million, 255 thousand, 550) unique ancestors born in the previous 40 generations, assuming no overlap (that is, none of your ancestors were cousins to other ancestors).

I am very tempted now to do it, but after sharing one of the very few bus journeys recently with a woman who is convinced she is the actual Queen (and she had a big file of papers to prove it) and that Liz and Philip are going to be ousted any day now, I'm worried I might be Liz's long lost daughter

Those things always happen to Gavin, I'm an expert at giving off "don't talk to me" vibes to strangers
