Is it sometimes they live too far away from their father that they are left out too? In my case my Dutch Mead family held on to their land for 200 + yrs, passing it down through their wills.<br /><br />In Fact I had a 2nd wife married to a Miller that did that so his children by his first wife would not get anything and hers would get all of her late husbands items; extensive land holding etc. She had 3 very young children and the others were older.
