When Etherington (2) introduced linear commutative non-associative algebras in connection with problems in theoretical genetics, he pointed out that various sequences of elements in these algebras represented different mating systems. In all such systems it was however assumed that the generations did not overlap, and this restriction has been kept in later work in this field. In this paper we treat sequences which make it possible to find the probability distribution in successive generations in a discrete time model where the generations may be overlapping. We also consider idempotents in genetic algebras and outline how the method used on the overlapping generation sequence may be applied to other sequences.
