My sister did my dad's family tree through Ancestry UK and found out that on my paternal grandfather's side, we go back to fourth-century French kings, through Charlemagne, William the Conqueror and the first six English kings. On my paternal grandmother's side, Robert the Bruce.
Of course, given they had so many kids each generation, I'm no different than hundreds of thousands of other people who share the same lineage.
Still, sniff it, you peasants.

Just got a kindle copy of this book and it is terrific. If you want a deep-dive into what "ancestry" means in terms of its genetic, genealogical, and social meanings, it's worth a look. This is a fairly deep-dive into the subject but the writing is non-technical, quite efficient, and non-verbose.
