Yeah, that's only on your dad's side. From what I learned in college, having a boy is more likely than having a girl because sperm that carry the male genes are smaller an swim faster than sperm who carry the female genes.

No, it's probably just coincidence, no matter how many boys are already in your family there is still a 50/50 chance of any new child being either gender when it is born.

Wrong.
You are part of ALL YOUR ANCESTORS.
You have EXACTLY the same number of girl/ women ancestors as you do male ancestors. It takes a man and woman together to make a baby.

If your ancestors never gave birth to a girl how are you here? Your mom, two grandmother, four great grandmothers, etc. are ancestors and got here somehow.

It's just a big coincidence.

You mean one side of your family................it happens but that is about genetics not genealogy......................
