    You can get some odd fractions by two parents having similar lineages. Like, if your mother is Irish, and your great-grandmother on your father’s side is Irish, you would be five-eighths Irish. I’m having trouble finding a combination that gives you thirds, though.

      Doesn’t exist, 3 is prime. No combination of 2^-n will get you a 3 in the denominator.

      …unless somewhere along the tree there’s a person who shows up twice.
