I'm European American so (like every other European American) I'm descended from Charlemagne. And half of the world appears to be related to Genghis Khan. What's that mean? Ehh, you're both right and wrong there. Only about one-half of one percent of the world's population are supposedly descended from Genghis Khan (almost all of whom are Asian). But most of the lines of descent come from the son we're not entirely sure WAS Genghis' son (he may have been the child of a rape), so most of those might not even be related to Genghis at all. Charlemagne is a common ancestor for pretty much every royal family in Europe, but only a very small percentage of people outside of those circles have ever been able to meaningfully prove descent in any significant way (probably even less than what's normally attributed to Genghis Khan). To throw in an extra one, at one point there was a theory that something like 10% of all people of Irish descent (both in and out of Ireland, especially in places like the US) were descended from King Niall of the Nine Hostages, but more recent genetic testing has suggested that theory is probably bullshit. Most of the theories that a majority of modern humans can trace their heritage back to specific royal historical figures are based around flawed math and assumptions that don't actually gel with real-world evidence. It's wishful thinking for people who want to feel special, sort of in the same way that people who believe in reincarnation always assume they were someone famous in a past life. It's never actually been proven in any verifiable way. That being said, every human on Earth IS descended from a common ancestor (also know as the "Most Recent Common Ancestor"). We actually have a pretty good idea where and when "Mitochondrial Eve" lived, and a pretty good idea where and when to find "Y-Chromosomal Adam" as well. So if we had perfect family trees for everyone on Earth, they'd all become identical before a certain point. So yes, literally every human you've ever met is your cousin to some degree. Unless they're closer (parents, siblings, children, aunts and uncles, etc). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:959048896] in Have you e...

El Marsh 10/15/21 8:11:49 AM #24:	I mean, all it takes is a look in the mirror to confirm my ancestry. That said, I did start a family tree about a decade ago when ancestry.com was really popping off. I didn't get too far but I did find one of my grandparents' (the only ones that I actually got to know, in fact) wedding certificate which is something that even their oldest kids hadn't seen as well as a death certificate for the only grandparent who predeceased my birth. Honestly, I found it fairly difficult to piece together due to a combined lack of records and basically going on what my mother could remember of her grandparents and their siblings. I'm much closer to my father's family (simple geography, really) so it was much easier working with his side of the family, though I didn't get past his own grandparents who were all born in the 19th century.
