Sussex Family Historian Article---dont believe it

[Redroger]

I am told of a recent report that all blue eyed people are related. Believe th story is that between 2 and 4 thousand generations ago, a single mututation produced a person whose eyes stayed blue. At 25 years per generation it must have happened between 50 and 100 thousand years ago, difficult to comprehend, but more believable that this stuff about this tree being completed in 10 minutes flat!!!

Out of interest - Do you consider them a relative or someone researching the same name?

Hi Bearkat.

Certainly the first part of your question, however far removed. 

I offered to show him a book another relative had written on the family,
which would add to his information on his family tree.

I wouldn't do that for someone just reseaching the same name.

Also the fact we could reel of our own families and see the ties in our
lineages, I think meant more.

I have a few Rootschatters that are rellies, as I am sure others here
have also.

According to a Historian at Sheffield Uni, all families who have less than 20 deaths recorded on the GRO index between 1838 and 1841 are likely to descend from a common ancestor.
