M*W: Well, all the way back to the 400s is impressive! I can only go back as far as the 800s. Everyone who is alive today can actually go back to Charlemagne (800s) as he is our common human ancestor. Let's face it, the guy got around. He had some 13 wives and concubines. All his many children were educated in the palaces of the HRE, unlike the common peasant children who probably didn't make it very far into adulthood, etc.. whose family lines died out.
