500 4th cousins

[melba_schmelba]

I've got  a vague recollection that something like this was discussed a few years back. Was it decided that it depended upon how many matches that were from USA 

I have a few lines who went over to US or Canada and I think you do also, aghadowey?

Yes well remembered gadget  . I can update the thread somewhat from other data I have had access to. People who come from a limited genepool i.e. people from small religious or island communities have even more than the average American who we thought were basically the larger figure so 2000+ 4th cousins or closer can be common in those cases.

Yes indeed, the Brits are world famous for having spent the 18th and 19th centuries in front of the telly, drinking warm beer. Never went further than Brighton Pier....
