I have done some genealogical research as well. I can show 20 generations going back to 1370 in England on one branch. Several other branches go back to the middle 1700's. I am descended from the Ross, McClelland, Buchanan and Shepherd clans. Of my 4 grandparents 2 are Irish/Scottish/English, 1 is Belgian/French, and 1 is Czech. No mention of royalty of famous personage.
