I can trace my family tree to points where they connect to other trees online, and those goe back very long distances. But to me once I get beyond a couple of centuries or 5 6 generations there is no real connection as you dont know them. They are strangers that are only important that they lived to complete what makes you, but I have no sentimental relationship to the person. For example my great grandad knew my grandad and I knew grandad. My great grandad knew his grandad, but I knew neither of them. Anything beyond that is even less a connection. In that distance from me there are 32 positions for that generation of my tree so each position makes 3.125% of what is me. So anything beyond that is virtually the same as the resr of the population of the world.

I've never met the dude so ultimately for me it always feels weird being like "that's my cousin" and it's like is a second cousin once removed really your cousin at that point?

I found one of these convergences in my family tree. I was tracking one line and it went back to Anne of Glouchester from one of her marriages. Then I was tracing another line and there she was again from another marriage. I thought at the time, my tree is shrinking. My wife joked about me "descending from royalty," but I said at the time "everyone descends from royalty if you go back far enough." Thanks for the explanation.

But it is harder to have a trace of the ascendancy from peasants in most cases the more we go back in the generations. While for the nobility there are record of the history of the family. It is easier to trace back until Charlemagne , than to the peasant Johan living in a little village at some kilometers of the castle of Charlemagne.

As a genealogist, I just want to say well done on explaining this complex topic.

I have found several of my family lines hitting European royalty at about 600 years ago. In learning that, I have gained historical knowledge of these people. As I research each one, I find it very satisfying to research their life stories. That is where I find the value in the exercise.

Fun fact: 6 degrees of separation applies exactly with regards to my parents. My parents, my grandma, and I did an ancestry DNA test and it turns out that my parents are related 6 generations back through some guy who murdered his wife. Cool!

This is something I've been wondering about for some time. Especially the exponential increase of the number of ancestors. My maternal grandparents were big into genealogy after they retired, and made family trees for their own family, my father's family, and a lot of their friends' families. As a young boy really into knights and medieval history they would make me feel special by telling me I was a descendant of Richard the Lionheart, among others. I'm Dutch, and for the last 600 years they found mostly Dutch ancestors, but between 200 and 400 years ago also a Belgian line, an Italian line, and a Scottish line. So that corresponds to what is said in this video. Thank you for the clarification!

I'm Indonesian, and family last name is not a thing in my country, some ethnics have it but not the majority, so it's even harder to track back my ancestors. My mom is from a small village in the middle of nowhere, not near any port, so I just come to conclusion that my ancestors from mom's side came to the village during the hunter-gatherers time lol, not to mention almost all people in that village look identical, my mom is the first one in my family who moved out from there😭 Indonesia is disconnected from Eurasia too, for most people here, it's a small chance to have an ancestor that came from a faraway place like Europe, unless you're a mix kid with one European parent. There are many people who are the descendants of traders from Arab, India and China, they look distinctive from the majority of Indonesians, and I used to envy them cause at least they know where their ancestors came from. Also, I feel like it'd very interesting to track your ancestry if you live in a place where the Silk Road was once operated

Barring some catastrophe to the family line. Families were much larger in pre-modern times. An example of a family that could have had such prospects was that of two of the most evil parents that ever lived: Joseph and Magda Goebbels. Magda Goebbels had a son by an earlier husband, and six by "Mister Venom". You can just imagine how many children those fine Aryan children would have sired or born had they become a sort of nobility in a world in which the Nazis won the war. The Nazis of course lost the war, and Josef and Magda chose to kill their children rather them fall into the custody of the Soviet Army. That once-promising line died out. In a time in which many people died of starvation and plagues, the aristocracy had all the advantages in passing on their genes. Note well the legend of the jus primae noctis, which likely had some truth behind it: the feudal lord had the right to deflower a peasant girl before her husband got him. In a world of primogeniture, any son of the feudal lord and a peasant had a huge advantage over children of the legitimate husband.

It gets easier the far back you go if you use a genealogy website, because other people have already researched those older lineages. I did mine several years ago to trace the English portion of my heritage. After getting back to my great grandfather's generation I found more and more other people whose research gave me information to go back all the way to Charlemagne. Turns out the Carpenter family (maternal grandmother's side) originates with William the Carpenter, a french nobleman who was a deserter during the Crusades. The french family originated in Germany with Charlemagne's line and then moved to england before coming to the US in the 1600s. It's just a matter of going back four or five generations, but here's the thing, you only really have to trace back one line.

@Drakon you're mostly right, but don't call Spain as a nation. I understand your point, it's just a bad choice of words, as even today a significant part of the Spanish people doesn't even consider themselves Spanish. There are many nations in Spain, as is aknowledge by the Constitution. Portugal, for example, as been a nation since the 13th century, as the whole population share all the cultural features.

If you were to use Gorm the Old's family line, the line allegedly making up the one of the oldest existing monarchies in the world. You would connect with Charlemagne, so you could take back the start of the tree 5+generations, and add Denmark, Which is a crucial piece to this graph, that is currently missing

Today I ended up tracing my ancestry back to Charlemagne. He was my 42nd great-grandfather (if I counted right). I thought it was kind of cool even though I know everybody with European ancestry can do that. Though I think it's fun I also traced my ancestry to Anne Boleyn's great-grandfather. She's my 2nd cousin, 16 times removed (again, if I counted right). So we're basically siblings.

If just found that I’m a descent of the royal family of Spain! Thanks for your videos they are an inspiration!

The way I see it, the "prestige" is not if you have royal blood or not but whether or not you can actually trace your lineage back to them. Usually only wealthier/nobler families had the interest or means for preserving their genealogy, so lesser known families get lost in history. Therefore if you can definitively connect yourself to any royal bloodlines, that's pretty impressive.

Technically all living things are distant cousins.

I know a lot of people of European descent are descended from Charlemagne, but it’s still really cool to find those lines. I think it’s the hunt that I love when doing genealogy. Every time I find a new ancestor I get really excited

Very interesting! I find common relatives in my tree in different places. Some way back are related to both my husband and me! I did his friend's tree and they have common relatives way back.

My favorite line on this topic is from Bill Bryson: "You couldn't be here without a little incest - actually quite a lot of incest..."

I've been doing my family's history for 9 years now and can find that is very true. I have found that my own parents are 9th cousins and have several common ancestors on both sides of their family trees as a pure blooded French Canadian living in the United States of America. Both of my parents descends through a woman named Catherine de Baillon who was the daughter of Alphonse de Baillon, the Lord of Mascotterie and Louise de Marle, the Lady of Mascotterie from France. This family is the one family in my family tree that links me and many French Canadians who descends through this woman that links back to Charlemagne himself through the French Kings of the house of Capet. Catherine de Baillon was one of the Les Filles du Roi immigrant brides from France that arrived to New France during the 10 year period of 1663 to 1673 and she married in 1669 to Jacques Miville dit Deschenes. Which means she is the direct female ancestor of the French Canadian Deschenes family in French Canada. My great-great grandmother on my father's side is one of her direct descendants born in the 19th century she's the mother of my great grandmother my paternal grandfather's mother. My great-great grandmother's name was Flavie Deschenes she was married to my great-great grandfather Joseph Berube. So Catherine de Baillon and Jacques Miville dit Deschenes are one of the common ancestors that both my mother and father have in common in their family trees.

It reminds me of how geneticists say every single person alive today with blue eyes is related to the first mutated person who lived near the Black Sea 10,000 years ago.

The custom of primo nocta in the Middle Ages also helped to create more connections. My family traced a branch back and found the phrase “a Bavarian Prince.” The most logical conclusion is that the prince had a night out on the town and was with one of my ancestors. On a more documented path, I have ancestors who lived in Normandy and were stewards of Charlemagne. They did so well that he raised them to nobility. In 1066, they sailed with William the Conqueror and fought at Hastings. In 1216, one ancestor of that branch was a signatory of the Magna Carta. Very informative video and great use of math and scientific research!

Hey cousin.

I did some study on my family-tree and found similar situations. On request of my cousin from Belgium I also traced back her mothers family. We share her fathers because he is a brother of my mother. At a certain point I saw names that sounded 'familiar'! At first they were only similar but of a different generation. But tracing my aunts family another two, and my fathers one generation further back, I discovered a shared couple. With that couple (around a.D. 1700) my father and aunt share all the ancestors of that couple as well. I found at least 20 lines to Charles the Great in my family-tree. As soon as you 'hit' nobility there is no escape. A study of the village Gemert in the Netherlands shows that the entire local population are descendants of Charlemagne. They are all related to the local Lords of around a.D. 1350 or to the knights of the Teutonic Order that slowly took over rulership, or to both, single or multiple times.

@@eliasholenhannouch807 Congratulations to have found all your family tree back to 1400! Some branches of mine get stuck in the registration change that occurred between 1795 and 1813 in my country. Especially of those who migrated during the French revolution and the following Napoleonic wars. Even small migrations, village to town or town to village, break the chain in registration, and I hate guesswork. It is a barrier many Dutch face during research. Trough DBT books (Baptize-Burial-Marriage) of the churches, I could trace the unstuck branches back to about 1600. There Dutch bump into the next barrier, because registration by the churches started around 1500, but until 1600 they can be incomplete. Before 1500 I have to study registered transactions. All those who did not have real estate or did not buy or sell real estate, cannot be traced. So my family tree gets very thin around 1500. But some family names where rare and passed that barrier. Because registration of transactions are extended, I could trace some back into the Middle Ages. In a registration not only the first and family name are mentioned but to identify the buyer or seller, his/her parents and grandparents are written down, together with the real estate concerned, and how that real estate was acquired in the past. Also prove that the real estate was legally theirs to begin with. Real estate is not only ground, but also rights, and duties between people. For example: One of my ancestors sold his miller rights of a watermill to a nobleman in exchange to duties to be paid to that nobleman. Reason: the watermill was within the territory of the nobleman and he could collect the duties easily. And the duties my ancestor acquired where in his proximity so collection was easier as well. The exchange was in both advantage. This registration of exchange of rights, also contained how they were acquired in the past. The miller rights were passed down father to son over two hundred years and originated from a split in inheritance. Both my ancestor and the nobleman involved had the same family origin and were related, though many generations in between. This also explained the family name of my ancestor, that looked 'out of place' for that region. One single registration gave me a jump of six generations into the past and a leap of more than 200 years. The list of father to son also made it possible to trace their whereabouts and what they did as profession. Also linked me to nobility originating in Charlemagne. It is nice to see an ancestor back in every history book and how the links go from long ago to the present day. So if you have farmers in 1400 who owned the lands they worked on, look into transaction registers to go further back in history.

Wow, really amazing!

Excellent, thank you

I’ve actually done some ancestry tracing with my family. I currently have ~17,300 individual members traced so far and I found that Charlemagne is my 36th great grandfather.

So as a person living in Turkey, I should be in theory connected to Asian, Middle Eastern and European royal families. It would be really fun to trace that line if we had any records at all. People did not even have surnames 100 years ago and it is almost impossible to trace any family back more than 3 generations other than Ottoman nobility. But I really enjoyed the video anyway :)

These are great genealogy videos! My family line is connected to the Percy family of Northumberland featured in the Shakespeare plays, Harry Hotspur is my 17th Gr Grandfather and jJohn of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford are my 20th Gr grandparents

Cool, so that means you're my really distant cousin! Hey cus!

I read that all human beings on Earth are no distantly related genetically than 50th cousin. When you look at the Royal Family, that's not hard to figure out how that happened.

I've actually found this to be true. It's so bizarre. I even found out that a few of my friends are actually decent cousins of mines, the more and more I work on my own family tree.

I have decent cousins too. But a lot of them are goofballs though.

This is great info, thanks! Can the same be said for Direct Ancestry? I’m doing my first try at ancestry, but only doing Direct. Thanks again!

Yesssss, jajaja, that's true. I have Charlemagne in my tree, as well as many other kings in Spain. Also, a related work in statistical properties in genealogical trees was made by Derrida et al., around 1999 where they show that 80% of ancient population is a common ancestor to the living population, and we need to move a g_c number of generations in the past to reach de common ancestors point, proportional to Log (N) with N the size of the population (if it doesn't changes on every generation).

I have European, Asian, Polynesian, and Semitic ancestry. I did a chart of my family tree and was able to go back 12 generations in one branch. Around 1650 CE I had ancestors in 10 different countries, speaking 10 different languages, on 2 different continents and 4 different Polynesian islands, just living day to day.

my friend and i recently were researching our family trees and realized were related about 100 years back through 2 brothers who immigrated together from Ireland to America, cool stuff

This is brilliant and should be taught in schools.

This is why when royals look for matches they go back 3 to 4 generations to see if the person marrying into the family has recent noble blood

I've traced my lineage, by family tree, to Charlemagne. Also a lot of other nobles. It's incredible once you get into one noble family, they crosspollenate like crazy. As he mentions, this isn't so rare, I was just lucky enough to have enough recorded ancestors and family trees to be able to see how they fit into the trees of European Nobility.

I am a decendent of Charlemange, I am from Fulk of Anjou, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, Stewarts, etc. That is just a start.
