I'm sure it doesn't apply to anyone here, but references to The Mayflower always remind me of this sort of thing,

"Although there were only about 130 passengers on the Mayflower, and the number of individuals who left descendants is significantly less, it is estimated that more than 35 million individuals living today are direct descendants of those individuals."
