Quick Questions #1: Ancestry

[tamaranth]

Inspired by a reference in Route 66 AD to Egyptian priests at the time of the Roman Empire, who claimed to trace their ancestry back 10,000 years:

How far back (in years) can you track your family?

Can you think of anyone who can track their family back before the Norman Conquest?

A society for women who can claim ancestry from a passenger on the Mayflower. Rather irritatingly, I can't find a website, but it's kind of like Daughters of the American Revolution (http://www.dar.org/default.cfm) - part charity, part society.
