on wednesday my maternal grandmother was buried. down to 1 of 4 grandparents.
i barely knew her and i'm not upset by the loss, but it got me thinking about ancestors.
i have:
2 parents (one generation ago - born in the 1950's)
4 grandparents (two generations ago - born in the 1920's)
8 great-grandparents (three generations ago - born in the 1890's)
...
1,125,899,906,842,624 great(x50)-grandparents (fifty generations ago - born ~500 A.D.)
tonight i will make a champagne toast to my quadrillion+ ancestors who lived during the middle ages.
happy new year!
