Genealogy Introduction [part 4]

Start with yourself, your parents, your grandparents. One of the most amazing aspects of describing family is that with each generation we learn of twice as many individuals and additional surname heritage. Like the growth of computer memory, the potential exists for 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 528, 1024 unique history trails.

Surprisingly, most people will never learn beyond 7 generations, where available documentation(s) quickly disapears. However, with a little bit of Irish luck, perhaps you will link into the life of a well written about person, or their cousin, or their spouses family, or a local enterprise, or their rentor -- with the potential of really becoming a familiar part of history.

If you can document the 20th generation, about 570 years, your hands would be full with trying to manage the facts and figures and verification of 524,288 ancestors. That is quite a slice of Ireland.
