@fmf saidPerhaps someone from Britain would have the answer it certainly wasn't 20 as you indicated. God knows how many of our relations we have had relations with, excuse the intended pun. 🙂
How many people in Britain would pass the 'Even 12 Generations Separation Over The Last 400 Tears Is Not Enough Test'?
Of course that would be without even knowing it the question put was if you knew it was a relation? That many generations I don't think would matter how the children would turn out, just knowing you were related to the person would really throw me I believe.

@vivify saidIt's interesting that people seem to be assuming that these relations would be sexual in nature.
You travelled 400 years into the future and saw the most beautiful woman you've ever seen, who falls in love in with you. You then find out she's a distant grand-daughter of yours.
Would you have relations with her?

What do you think was meant, if not of a sexual nature?

@very-rusty saidIt's an assumption I also made initially, but the OP does not actually say that explicitly.

And it is possible to have someone fall in love with you, and decide to maintain some sort of relationship with them even if you have no interest in a sexual relationship with them.
@kevin-eleven saidI guess only the OP knows for sure what he meant, but came across as he was asking the question if a sexual relationship would happen. After that long would it really matter? There are so many questions. 😉 Will we even be here in 400 years?

@vivify - Would you have relations with her?
It would be proper only if you are Royalty 🙂

You are descended from 2 to power x ancestors where x is the number of generations.
Going backwards if you count each generation as about 20 years gap you realise you don't have to go back very far before the number of ancestors equals the entire population of the UK at that time.
This is why the current trend for tracing ancestry is so phoney. You could follow any one of these lines to anybody, but of course only certain lines are recorded. So you are inevitably steered down a branch that kept records: nobility; generations old family businesses or obscure religious orders and all the kind of stuff people find interesting, cos that's where the available records have steered you.
Descended from King Alfred? Me too. 😁 We'd better not start a relationship. 😌
