    Is one of your 16 great+ grandparents a president? Are you contributing something to the world millions have enjoyed?

      Guessing from the hostile tone of your response that my own tone was badly conveyed. I was just making a general observation that we seem to automatically treat relatively distant ancestors with the same significance as grandparents. I do the same.

      Typically one has eight great-grandparents.

      And yes, thank you for asking.
