“I assume the same. And I never did the full generational research. So, it could be I’m wrong.”
Nor have I, but just from knowing people that have done a lot of work into researching family trees, limiting to ben achar ben would severely shrink the amount of people with yichis to a specific person. If you allow a mix of matrilineal and patrilineal, then every single human is “related” to someone famous within the last 2-3000 years. That’s why so many people claim Rashi yichis. They’re probably right; it just isn’t actually that big of a deal.
