Talk:Erasmus Radcliff

If Erasmus is Victor's second cousin once removed, William is not his great-grandfather. Removal means they're not of the same generation, at least not geneologically; clearly they're the same age more or less. William is either his grandfather or his great-great-grandfather. I'd bet on the latter, on the assumption that the business was passed from eldest son to eldest son and that since each ancestor in Erasmus's line was the first, they had more time to reproduce than their younger sons and cousins. In the space of three generations, the difference allows them to make up a forth. Turtle Fan 16:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
