I don't know how many generations it would be, but my brother-in-law's

I think your brother in law needs a few "greats" in front of grandparents.

My grandparents waited awhile before coming over...about 270 years or so.

I have a great aunt who says one of our ancestors was the individual who
fell off the Mayflower during a storm at sea.

I think the way these family trees go, I probably am also a distant
relative to Barake Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and John McCain.

I'm surprised that Harry didn't try to tell everyone here that his one
of his people piloted the Mayflower. After all, he claims his father
made a trans-Atlantic crossing in a runabout and got a fireboat
welcome in NYC!!!
