The sad fact is, unless you are direct ancestry to noble families, most people can only trace thier ancestry back to about the 1600s. before that people didn't keep records very well, most couldn't even read or write. Surnames were taken as occupations such as john carpenter , john the carpenter, or john smith, john the smith.

@KingShaun: everyone is in the same boat.. anyone who claims ansestery beyond that is likely using speculation and myth, not actual records.
