Statistically speaking, the odds are extremely low if all of the deaths occurred on the birthdays of the living.
Just think, on average there are 365 days in a year.
Subtract 6(the number of deaths on birthdays from his maternal side) from 365. We are left with the difference of 359.
This means that these occurrences had 359 other days to occur.
I'm no statitician but regardless of having a large or small family, the odds of having just one death from your family on a birthday of another
family member are extremely low.
Ldyserenity was right about the odds being better with the birthdays being scattered all over the calender but, IMO, it is just a little too odd to
have that many family deaths on remaining family member birthdays.
Just to stress it again, this is just MY opinion.
