Fry's relations

[on:]

That machine that can tell all your living relations sounds way cool, but I can't believe Fry only has one!!
Queen Victoria has hundreds of descedndents after 100 yrs or so, so after a thousand there should be loads!!If Fry's bro or sis had a couple of kids and they each had a couple and so on...they'd have more descendents than Mick Jagger! well where've they all gone?!!  Look at the way the money multiplied in the bank..well why haven't the kids doen the same!!

Don't people have many kids in 3000....why hasn't Farnsworht been snapped up LOL!!!!

Isn't it possible that Yancey produced only one child or multiple children who couldn't reproduce (they died or were sterile).  For some reason, birth patterns in my dad's family are very strong (male-female-male), perhaps it is the same in the Fry Family.  We should acknowledge the possibility, however unlikely,  that Fry's family tree is very narrow.

That's not even including the possibility that most of Fry's descendants were wiped out in the two alien invasions.

It is true in the last century we had two wars which decimated alot of families in a thousend years it woould be faur to say there would be even more war and even more death.

Maybe in the future their are laws enforcing that couples may only have X number of children to keep the population from overcrowding.

I agree with Nix.

Another posibility is that the Relations machine could choose just the best relation.

Maybe it just lists the relatives living on Earth. Fry's family could've emigrated to another planet. Farnsworth, being the dark sheep of the family, was left behind.

Probably Yancey's future generations have only one or two children, or they might just be walloped with a curse of short life (like accidents or sicknesses).
