My ex-wife and I are both English professors with Ph.D.s. So is our daughter. My ex-wife’s great-grandfather also had a Ph.D. in English.

My ex-wife’s father and little brother are both cardiologists and went to the same schools and hospitals for their college, med school, and residencies. Her father’s father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were also physicians, going back to the 1830s. Five generations.
I have a first cousin who was an outlaw biker who did three long stints in penitentiaries. His son has done the same. I’m hoping he’s had a vasectomy.
