I think this varies by different historical time periods, depending on when it is fashionable to marry and start a family.
One of my aunts is only ten years older than me, her husband (my uncle) is older but she started her family at 19, and she is already a great-Grandma, while I am not a grandparent yet, and have no prospects in the near future as my sons are not married or seriously involved ( oldest is 25).
20 seems pretty quick which would be 5 generations in each century. That means if you go back 100 years you would find your great-great-great grandparents. I doubt that is accurate for most people.

A generation is the gap between parents and their children. There are two generations seperating me from my grandparents. Usually, the generational gap is between 20-30 years. I challenge anybody to find an official definition that gives a finite amount of time in which there is a cut-off from one generation to the next.
13th cousins once removed:
When there are two people who have a common ancestor, say George W. Bush and Princess Diana, for example: John Dryden is the 13th great grandfather or George W. Bush, and he is the 12th great grandfather of Princess Diana, so they are said to be 13th cousins once removed, because they are one generation apart.

A generation is not measured in years...your grandparents (for example) would be the 1st generation (for all intents and purposes here)...your parents and their siblings would be the 2nd generation...you and your siblings are the 3rd. Your kids and your nieces/nephews will be the 4th generation and so on.
