Gotcha, my first thought reading was you were referring to generation like one century vs another. Thanks for clarifying.

Well let’s see, if we consider a generation in terms of family, like my generation, my parents, grandparents etc, that means we have typically 3 generations per century. My sister and I born in the 1990s, my parents 60s & 70s, grandparents 40s, great grandparents 20s, etc. That there is 3 generations already remembered, and assuming you take interest in your family history, then it goes further back and from there branches off to people outside one’s family.

I don’t know, being narrowly saved from a rip current by my old man sure was cutting it close
