More data (I love data): My longest line, based largely on work by others, 
goes back 33 generations before me and averages 30.4 years per generation.

        In my case, using the "traditional" or "legendary" Icelandic 
genealogy gets me back 60 or so generations to an estimated (by others)

I thought most generations were 20 years.  That takes you back 1200

A generation is about 40 years.  40 years x 60 generations is 2400 years
