[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 11th generation here in US. I would doubt that a family could have only 8-9 generations and go back to the mayflower. [/quote] It's quite possible. I can trace my lineage back on one side to 1705. That was only 7 generations. My father is still alive, for him it would only be 6 generations. Mayflower was 85 years earlier, that would add 2 more generations at a rate of 40+ per generation (which is the unusually high average in my family) = 8 for my dad, or 9 for me. In fact, my great grandfather was born in 1845. Some of my friends still have their great grandparents alive NOW! It really depends on how late you have children. I come from a long line of people who had children late, mainly because my ancestors are the youngest of many children or because they were the offspring of a second marriage after the father was previously widowed.[/quote]
