You mean they decided that 18-ish generations ago? And how long is the poem?

Edit: changed 28 to 18 because of the typo explained below.

Yes, my great great great grandfather was the one who traced most of our extended family members, but i think it is very much incomplete today. The poem has 40 characters in total and females may have some exceptions as well, like they can get their second character from a different set of characters other than the poem.
Impressive.
sorry i had a typo it is 18 character only, not 28
