Doesn't work that way. You go back 5 to 10 generations, and if you hit the "old country", you are going to find the same couple of dozen ancestors all the way back as far as they have records.

Relationships in the good old days bore no similarity at all to those of modern times where you can have four grandparents, each from a different continent, and your biggest problem at Christmas is whether or not you should celebrate it on the 24th, or 25th, or maybe January 6th!

Read post #28. I'm not counting indivduals but positions on the family tree. The further you go back the more duplicates there are except for Arkansas.
