   That's what I would have guessed, but it doesn't seem to be what I   
   actually find in my family.   
      
   Both my grandfathers, all four of my great grandfathers, and four of my   
   great great grandparents remained in the village in which they were   
   born.  By comparison, neither of my grandmothers, only one of the great   
   grandmothers, and one of the great great grandmothers did.
