I have two sets of grandparents, four sets of great grandparents, eight sets of great-great grandparents, sixteen sets of great-great-great grandparents...see where this goes? If the fact that ANY of them may have committed some heinous act makes me liable for whatever it was, then the same applies to everyone. We are all screwed.
As an aside, I do remember my mother's mother's mother's mother, IOW my great-great grandmother. She had been born in 1878 and died in 1959.
