I would love to see someone who can trace their family back to the fifth century, given that most kings in the ninth century couldn’t do it without starting to fabricate names.

As someone who studies genealogies of the English kings they were most certainly fabricated, names removed, added.

Replying to @AdmiralHip @lilchiva and
And as someone who has done the genealogies of my family plus having family members do the same, past a certain point no genealogies are accurate. But anyway, anyone of European descent of any kind basically has the same ancestors due to population bottlenecks and such.

As for ancestors, I’ll repeat: everyone who has European ancestry has the same ancestors, statistically. And you lose DNA from half of your ancestors from beyond 300 years ish. So it doesn’t matter if “WASPs” had English ancestry from pre-1066. We all do.
