Many years ago I was contacted by a German researcher who told me I am a descendant of 40 odd skeletons found in the Lichenstein Hole (a family tomb in a sealed cave) dating from 2500 years ago. They found another descendant less than 5kms from that cave. They were thought to have been Visigoths or Frisians.
I have read that some 60% of English people can find Edward the Confessor in their lineage - and even slightly more French can find Charlemagne in theirs. We're all related anyway - Mitochondrial Eve.
