You've quoted my post in which I said 4, instead of 12, to account for great grand parent, so 335 isn't all that great (or grand).

Ah wasn't paying attention!
If we're talking grand and great grand that's 8 not 12. As you're only going back 2 generations.

8 great grandparents + 4 grandparents = 12.

I think it's 989. One of my grandfathers rather lowered the batting average by snuffing it on his way to the tobacconists.

So an average of 82 (which on reflection might be a better way of expressing it). Wow.

Aye. Amazing really considering none of them were posh and had quite hard jobs (farm labourers, blacksmiths etc.). My grandmother gave up smoking at the age of 84 for her 'health'
