(Looks at heredity chart on Wikipedia.)

Holy shit, there was literally no new genetic stock introduced for five generations. You have 32 great-great-grandparents. She had TWO. And one of those great-great-grandparents was himself the product of a brother and sister.

(Well, technically more than two since there was so much niece-uncle pairing that the generational count gets muddled so her great-great-grandparents along one chain are her great-great-great-great-grandparents along another, but I think that's splitting hairs since all the other great-great-grandparents are also part of the knot below those two progenitors. If they had something like Reddit back then there'd be posts like "TFW your brother impregnates both your sisters and you have to wait for one of their kids to come of age to get yours.")

EDIT: I suspect this is exactly why animal breeders (where inbreeding for traits can be common) that I've seen use a different chart that just branches off 2 ways each generation no matter what and lets you figure out how many different critters are involved. This "tree" is so much spaghetti.
