I cannot substantiate this claim, but it feels natural to think that factors like this play a role. | |

If I could not trace my "roots" back to Gauss, would I have mentioned the project to my own PhD students at all? I do not know :-) At the time the tree for most Finns ended at Lindelöf, but has been expanded since. As someone who earned their doctorate in the US I was an outlier here. Also, when my own data was added to the project around '90 the tree did not go back all the way to Erasmus. Something tha surprised me when my students gave me a printed version of my tree as a gift. | |
