Genetics


Johann Strauss III’s father was Eduard Strauss, his uncles were Johann Strauss II and Josef Strauss, and his grandfather was Johann Strauss I.  – Wikipedia 


If you have never heard

Of Johann Strauss the Third,

Don’t hang your head in shame,

For though a Strauss by name

He lacked the lambent flame,

Which his grandpa and his dad

And his uncles all had had.
