basic # of generations question
It just hit me that I am not sure if "number of generations to MCRA " is
1. generations back to a theoretical MCRA
or
2. transmission events(generations) up to theoretical MCRA and then down the tree in a collateral line again to another donor..eg adding the number "up" to MCRA and "down" again...in other words if 2 donors are 8 generations away from a theoretical MCRA is it really 8+8 = 16 generations??? that should be used in the calculated % chance for a MCRA ????
