It's almost scary this, one after another seems to be one of my ancestors, I knew from some information in the past that it is was quite likely, I seems that I have a pedigree that is getting quite heavy to carry, but perhaps I should be proud, if this continue. Even if some of it this turn out to be not completely correct, and things could turn up, if I get a test, to see who I am really related to, it's interesting to read an learn about history and genealogy.
Greetings from Norway
Øystein: call it "successful progenitor syndrome". You only hear about the ancestors who were very successful in having identifiable progeny, not about the many Joes and Janes who had just a few obscure descendants.
With each generation you have twice as many (theoretical) ancestors, and it doesn't take too many iterations before you exceed the total number of persons living in that time period. So, if you hit *one* Successful Progenitor, you're likely to hit a bunch of them.
