Today's New Words: Noncestor and Uncestor .



Noncestor: N, one whose attributes make it clear that a particular person is not descended therefrom and shares no DNA therewith; not a progenitor.


Uncestor: N, one whose attributes make it impossible that a particular person is descended therefrom or shares any DNA therewith; extremely NOT a progenitor.

"I've been reading about President Obama's family tree.

His noncestors include Calvin Coolidge and Grover Cleveland.

Washington and Theodore Roosevelt are on the uncestor page."
