mountainlion: "My family tree seems to go back to ancient Troy and I am trying to verify some of it through DNA."

The ancient Romans (i.e., Augustus) claimed their ancestors came from Troy, as extolled in Virgil's Aeneid, but to my knowledge, no physical evidence of that has ever been found.

I found a link form Charlemagne going back to Troy. I have seen several lines that were completely phony. It would be nice to have a simple proof to either confirm it or denigrate it. I found it interesting that they first said that King Tut was Irish. It was later determined that he was related to half of the males of Europe.
