Apart from hopping the fence, people don't know their grandparents in many instances, let alone their great grandparents and definitely not, in most instances, their great great grandparents. It would be very easy to marry into another family line - our children wouldn't have a clue who the descendants of my great grandparents are. I'm sure there must be many such overlap marriages. Heck, I know a couple who married who were direct cousins, never mind far removed cousins. In historical village life, the village's DNA spirals around in a closed vortex, with the occasional outsider joining in, just as a husband and wife's DNA spirals around itself in their offspring. I'm sure there must be many instances of people without 16 great great grandparents [even if not counting adultery]. Mqurice
