What about the old theory that the Xiongnu are the same as the Huns (known in European history in the 4th and 5th centuries)? The main problem might be finding anyone who could be shown to be of Hunnic ancestry to make the comparison. (The Kaiser's family doesn't count--they weren't really Huns.)

I think there is a good possibility.
