The real problem (as I see it) is that one can only find out about 2
grandparents, 2 gg-parents, 2 gg---ggparents, and so on.

I want to know about *all* my ggggggggparents (and that's just for
starters <grin>).

To know about 2 is nice, but, without the others, the image, that
information about those two give me, could be way off the overall
picture.
