Just adding to the information here, not saying good or evil----The largest genealogy worksite in the world is run by the Mormons, and located in solid granite canyon virtually A bomb proof. Members are encouraged to do genealogy work for non-members, both dead and alive. Baptism for the dead, so they can admitted to heaven is part of the every day Temple work performed in 1000s of Temples across the world. One of the most up to date genetic research labs in the world is at BYU. At least 100s of DNA samples are analyzed daily. The FBI and CIA would be happy to have access to it. The purpose? Establish a genetic pathway from the middle eastern tribes that came to the Central American region to hide the golden plates and prove the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Ever wonder why Myrid genetics was in SLC and Delphi was in Provo?
did you personally read thru all of them "begats"?

some of the stuff amateur genealogy sleuths come up is hilarious. Seems like almost everyone is linked to royalty. lol
All I'm doing is following the branches that are already constructed. I put none of it together except to link my own mother to her parents, and that's not part of dear old dad's lineage anyway. Look at your own family tree and go back 40 generations. That amounts to over 1 billion ancestors. Odds are good there's someone very notable there---IF you take the right paths to find them.
He has his ancestors on ignore.
That's the key, following the right lines.
Some of my lines go back to peasant farmers, others go back to European nobility, and once you're related to one European Noble, you're related to all of them.

My relatives probably just grew grapes and wheat for spaghetti dinners with vino.
Except the Alsatian ones, they ate pork chops and sauerkraut.

Having dabbled in this over several years I was surprised to see the advances in the past couple years. My family on one side is in it's own genealogy website broken into 110 branches going back to the 1600's and farther. Last year I found WikiTree picked that up and went right back to year 1025 listing us as descendants of magna carta surety barrons and more to George washington and more. Then links taking back into 900's. Links to current family, castles, cattle, and tapestry pedigree as large as a ballroom. This has boiled down to relatives history of 1/3 criminal, 1/3 politician, 1//3 royalty, or all the same under a different labels. Not sure if I've learned anything valuable but seems interesting to many in my age category.
My father was pretty interested in genealogy and spent many happy hours looking to see which interesting folks were in our past.
I figured we were generic homogenized average Americans at this point and never cared if I'm 5 gen removed from some famous guy.
Have fun searching your connection to the past!

This site is affiliated with familysearch.org. It will tell you if your related to various persons. Royalty, declaration signers, celebrities, etc. Goes back something like 15 generations.
Interesting.... so am I. He was my 11th great grandfather, through Pocahontas and her full blooded daughter.
After so many generations, my Native American contribution is tiny, but you and I still have more factual claim to that ancestry than a certain senator from Massachusetts.

Me too, but Pocahontas was a aunt.
On the other side I'm descended from three of the Mayflower passengers.
