Probably because of the abundance of relatives; there was a great increase in the population, which is why the Famine hurt Ireland so badly. Back then, many women had children young. The mathematics of it: If #1 gives birth to #2 when she is fourteen, and # 2 gives birth to #3 when she is fourteen as well, #1 is a grandmother at the age of twenty-eight. If #3 gives birth at 14, #1 is a great-grandmother at the age of 42. If #4 gives birth at 14, #1 is now a great-great grandmother at the age of 56. If #5 gives birth at 14, #1 i a great-great-great grandmother at the age of 70. And if #6 gives birth at 14, #1 is a great-great-great-great grandmother at the age of 84, if she lives that long. This is assuming that the children are all girls. Even if they were males, the boys would likely have married young and their wives produced children/

The majority of people affected by the Great Potato Famine in Ireland immigrated to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
If two people have grandparents who are second cousins, it means that their great-grandparents are siblings or cousins. Therefore, the two people are third cousins to each other.
Two people who share the same great great grandparents are third cousins. To find a cousin relationship, find the common ancestor. If common ancestor is grandparents, they are 1st cousins. If common ancestor is great-grandparents, they are 2nd cousins. If common ancestor is great-great-grandparents, they are 3rd cousins.
Research your own family history to get the answer to this question. People who were children during World War 2 would now be grandparents and great grandparents.

Two people who share the same great great grandparents are third cousins. To find a cousin relationship, find the common ancestor. If common ancestor is grandparents, they are 1st cousins. If common ancestor is great-grandparents, they are 2nd cousins. If common ancestor is great-great-grandparents, they are 3rd cousins.

The answer is 8 * 2 Parents * 4 Grandparents * 8 Great Grandparents * 16 Great Great Grandparents * 32 Great Great Great Grandparents * 64 Great Great Great Great Grandparents * 128 Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents * 256 Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents * 512 Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents * 1024 Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents
Not sure but the Choctaw Nation, a native American community from Oklahoma in the USA, are legendary among the Irish for their contributions and support during the Great Famine (I woundn't imagine that a famine was all that great?).
