According to Wikipedia, the Qing were descendants of Ghengis Khan through marriage. Some Manchus marrried Yuan princesses. Then again, it’s Wikipedia.

The Qing were Manchus. Their emperors frequently intermarried with Mongol princesses, descended from Genghis, for political reasons.

Here’s one example.

Since she was early in the dynasty, all succeeding emperors were descended from her, and through her from Genghis.
