It may have been Jean Larson. She wrote a paper called (I think) A picaresque genealogy of logicians. She found very interesting (and in some cases somewhat unexpected) connections between several genealogical lines.

Dear Colleagues,

Does anyone remember an ASL session or AMS special session at the Joint Meetings decades ago, when a woman briefly asked for shows of hands responding to various versions of the question, “Are you an academic descendent of the notable logician X?”  As I recall, about 1/3 of the audience of 60 or so responded “yes” when X = Tarski, and another 1/3 responded “yes” when X = Scholz.  I believe that I commented aloud that I answered “yes” to both of those (via Gupta and Bachmann) and wondered if anyone else did;  no one else did.  Someone noted that the number of “yes” responses when X = Tarski was to be expected, but expressed surprise at the number when X = Scholz.  The lady said that she had anticipated that.

Does anyone remember who that lady was, or even when or where that was?  I think she was detectably younger than I, so she might still be around.  Or, maybe she wrote a historical note about it.

With best regards,

Jim
