Jeg ble litt forundret da jeg leste at det var estimert at alle personer har omtrent 4 trillioner 20 nde Cousins. Dette var på en amerikansk side så tallet er vel ca 4 billioner http://acadac.net/old-website/gnlgy/cousin.html men likevel....
Jeg prøvde på egenhånd å estimere dette og hvordan gjør man det egentlig? Jeg tok utgangspunkt i et tenkt scenario der alle familier har 3 barn som alle fører slekta videre og lagde en model for for å finne alle Second Cousins i første omgang.
Man ser at med 3 barn i alle familer får man 18 Second Cousins men dette tallet må ganges med 2 for hvert foreldrepar som er under det øverste paret. I eksemplet her blir det 18 * 2 * 2 = 72 Second Cousins. Min formel for estimering blir n = B^N * 2^N * (B-1) hvor N er grad av Cousin, B er antatt barn som fører slekt videre i hver familie.
Så prøver vi å estimere Twenty Cousins der alle familier har 3 barn... det blir da 3^20 * 2^20 * 2 = 7 312 316 880 125 950 eller ca 7 billiarder.
Lastet opp ny versjon av AgetoAgeSqlite som har innebygget vindu for å vise denne cousin estimeringen. På bildet har jeg brukt 4 barn i hver familie og får da et vesentlig høyere tall for antall cousins.

It's good that so many people are thinking about their ancestry these days.
Once a person reaches a certain age, it is basic human nature to ask where did I came from.
Tracing - it may take some time but search relevant dates may unearth something about your ancestors...
Last time, Ove was doing some search of his family in the US and ask some questions through genelogywise.com. A person on the otherhand, was doing his search on his relatives here in norway responded on his research. I just hope that someone out there by that surname can contact him.
Anyway here is the email Gus Marsh sent to Ove :
Hi Ove,
These were my grandparents on my maternal family. Let me know if these photos are OK for your newsletter, I have them in TIFF, if you need them
Erling Breda Arctander Lange, (called Earl) was born 20 February 1896 and was christened in Uranienborg Church 3 May 1896 by Reverend Arnesen. Godparents were Mrs. Thora Hansteen, Ms. Nielsine Breda, Ms. Lul Klem, Bachelor of Law O. E. Kjoss, storage chief Gløer Thv. Mejdell and post exporter A. N. Corneliussen. He was first schooled at home at Eidsvold works. He was in 1910 accepted at Vestheim School and in 1911 at Christiania Commercial College. He was due for confirmation 1 October 1911 in Fagerborg Church. For about a year and a half, he worked at Steen & Strøm in Christiania. He left Norway on 1 July 1913 on the Kristianiafjord and arrived at Ellis Island, New York, on 16 July 1913. Erling moved to Rugby, North Dakota, where he met and married Ruth Finnerud and where their first child, Edith, was born. In 1916 Erling and his family moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he got a position in the same company as his brother Øjvind and where their second child, Ruth, was born.
In 1991, Erling’s daughter, Edith Lange Grife, said that her father came to the United States under the sponsorship of his family. However when he married a woman from the merchant class, he was “disinherited” and had to make his own way with no support from his father. Erling and his family moved to northern Minnesota and lived in various homes south of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where three of their five children were born. The family then moved to Coleraine, Minnesota, around 1924. Times were hard for the family during the depression years from 1931 to 1938. Some of the jobs Erling had were delivering groceries, construction, and meat cutting. Also, sons Paul and Bud got paper routes to help out financially. Erling and Ruth built a retirement home in 1956 on the southern shore of Pokegama Lake, south of Grand Rapids. They were very proud when they paid off their mortgage in the early 1970’s and had a morgage burning party to celebrate with friends and family.
A newspaper article written by Ken Hickman in the Grand Rapids Herald stated that Erling’s father, Albert Lange, was in charge of the Eidsvolds buildings in Oslo (Christiania), Norway, a museum that had been used for meetings of congress in the 1800’s. Erling’s childhood home was less than two blocks from the palace park where Erling played with the future King Olav V in 1910 to 1911. When the King visited Minnesota on two occasions, Erling was invited to renew his acquaintance with the King. Erling (Earl) Lange died on 23 March 1976 in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
Erling Breda Arctander Lange was married in Rugby, Pierce County, North Dakota, 27 May 1915, to Ruth Finnerud who was born in Christiania 9 October 1899. She was the daughter of grocer Hans Kristian Finnerud (1853 to 1908) and Karin Marie Hansen (born in 1875). Ruth went to America on 21 February 1913 on the Hellig Olav and arrived at Ellis Island, New York, on 5 March 1913. She lived as an indentured servant with her cousin, John Lund, in Rugby, North Dakota, until her marriage. Sage advice in a personal letter in 1966 to her newly-wed grandson, David A. Lange, “As a young wife and mother, I never did ever think of things happening outside of being poor and once in a while a little tummy ache. Life was good and we were called a ‘close family’. However, not my expression, we just loved each other and enjoyed each other.” Ruth died on 18 February 1980 in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. They had five children.
