HelpRe: Funny you should mention...

Wow, you can trace your ancestry back that far? That's awesome. My mom has traced her side of my family to the first French colonists in Quebec and a little further back to France (I think mid-1500's?). It's so interesting to find out just who your ancestors were.

If you are lucky enough to find a child of a royal- even the illegitimate ones have a paper trail. But the farther back I went, the less I believed it. I found a tree online for some of these ancestors, and it went all the way to Marc Antony's grandfather, also Marcus Aurelius Antonius (the Latin form of his name). I also found Old King Cole from the nursery rhyme and Cybeline- Shakespeare wrote a play about this legendary Briton king. It's basically the Prodigal Son.

We've actually got it traced back to the 500's!!! Since from the 1400's back it's royalty it's pretty easy to trace. They kept good records of the royals back then :)
