Jay -- it's even more amazing than that.
The length of a human generation used in research by most scientists studying geneology is 28-30 years. Since each person has two parents and each of those parents has two parents we each have four grandparents. I didn't do the math out to 101 generations but doubling the number of grandparents every generation means after only 20 generations we each have 1,048,576 grandparents, to each of whom we're equally related. Only half of them are grandmothers but that's still a big number.
