Re: [LegacyUG] Lots of generations was: Renumbering MRINS--Use Dollarhide's system

	In my case, using the "traditional" or "legendary" 
Icelandic genealogy gets me back 60 or so generations to an 
estimated (by others) AD 60.  A generation more likely 
averages somewhere in 30-35 year range.

I thought most generations were 20 years.  That takes you back 1200 
years, which is still a substantial amount of time.  (I may be a tad 
green-eyed, because most of my lines go back 3.)

Ruth Ann,
Does 60 generations take you back to Noah?
A generation is about 40 years.  40 years x 60 generations is 2400 years
ago.  Is that about Noah's time or was he before that?
