![](flowerpo.gif)
POSSIBLE ANCESTORS from DUNCAN-GREEN, PIONEER fAMILIES of IRISH RIDGE,
1854 on to EARLY 1900s
This chart is set up to demonstrate the number of "POSSIBLE GRANDPARENTS"
per generation.
Some grandparents will appear more than once, in fact some show up 2 or
more times on a 5-generation chart, especially by the time you reach the 1600s.
Even into the 1700s, it was not uncomon for cousins to marry. The following
numbers are simply a "mathamatical possibility" if cousins had never married.
