It can definitely happen. My grandfather had 8 children, 4 boys and 4 girls. Two of the
boys became priests, one never married, and one married and had a son. The son never
married. My grandfather's line died out but he had a brother who had boys who carried
on the line. My father-in-law had 4 children, 3 girls, 1 boy. The boy, my husband, had 2
girls and 1 son. The son has no children and no plans to have any. My
father-in-law's line has ended but he, too, had a brother who had sons who also have
sons.
