I wrote a basic script that counts the number of descendants of a person and further counts the number in each generation. Some counts:
Giovanni Carifa
06 children
12 grandchildren
12 great-grandchildren
18 great-great-grandchildren
04 great-great-great-grandchildren
==============================
52 total descendants
Geraldo Marino
07 children
13 grandchildren
18 great-grandchildren
23 great-great-grandchildren
05 great-great-great-grandchildren
==============================
66 total descendants
Herman August Thorup
008 children
049 grandchildren
116 great-grandchildren
241 great-great-grandchildren
065 great-great-great-grandchildren
008 great-great-great-great-grandchildren
==============================
486 total descendants
(This number will likely increase significantly because there are still a lot of individuals I haven’t entered or don’t know about.)
Gerardo Lacerra
09 children
16 grandchildren
27 great-grandchildren
24 great-great-grandchildren
07 great-great-great-grandchildren
==============================
83 total descendants
