I started to chart a simple family tree when I realized something  shocking.
If I use this formula, 1 generation=20 years, and If I start from
1964(my birth year) and go back 1000 years(50 generations) to the year
964,I have computed my grandparents plus my mom and dad and came up
with this huge number:
           9,007,199,254,740,990

           9,007,199,254,740,990 
   that's:   9 ZILLION (if this is even a number)
             7 TRILLION
           199 BILLION
           254 MILLION
           740 THOUSAND
             9 HUNDRED and
            90
This has to be true, doesn't it? I multiplied each generation by 2 and
added previous total generations.
     EX:                      Me
                           M       D               2
         1964             MD       MD              4      6
         1944           MDMD       MDMD            8     14
         1924       MDMDMDMD       MDMDMDMD       16     30

I know that the blood line and genes have change over the many
generations but We would not exist if one of those zillions of
ancestors changed just one little thing in their life. For example, If
, lets say, if it poured rain on one day hundreds of years ago and a
grandfather couldn't work that day and had relations with his wife in
the afternoon instead of at night like always and they conceived a boy
that directly links to us, I wouldn't be if it didn't rain or they
conceived at that exact moment.
I'm not sure what answer I'm looking for, I guess maybe some feedback
or if I'm wrong, how and why I'm wrong and how do I find the answer.
This is just for personal use, I find it fascinating!
