"In the first place the people reâ€" alize that perhaps millions of ancesâ€" tors, good and bad, have intervened between themselves and the illustriâ€" ous person from whom they claim to haveâ€" descended," he says in summing up his studies. "Secondly, several million other people, if they took the trouble, could boast of the same lineâ€" age. Thirdly, boasting of a great an~ cestor is a confession of inferiority if the descendent has not lived up to the repute of his forebeay. . Relation of the Conqueror "The most _ common _ ancestral claim," says Mr. Terhune, illustrating the weakness of the average case, "is relationshipâ€"to William the Conquerâ€" or. Simple arithmetic shows these facts: "The descendant had two parents, four grand parents, eight great grand parents and‘ so on. Continuing to double twentyâ€"six times, it will show about forty million ancestors since 1066. So the descendant would have only a fortyâ€"millionth of the Conâ€" queror‘s blood. "Science allows about thirtyâ€"three years to each generation, which shows that there have been twentyâ€" six or more generations between a person living today and William the Conqueror, who was in his prime in 1066.

I know of one New Engâ€" lander who succeeded in tracing his ancestry dire¢tly to Adam with just as much accuracy as many have tracâ€" ed theirs back to Charlemagne or other historical figures. "Another barrier to effective genâ€" ealogical research is the old time sysâ€" tem of family names, adopted from residence or occupation. Thus John Hill, who lived on a hill and. John Church, who liwd]:fih church may have been the c relatives, yet their descendants go off on wide tanâ€" gents in tracing two families." It is far better, n'yx Mr. Terhune, to decree: "I had no ancestors to boast of, but youâ€"can bet my desâ€" cendants are going to have."
