Even though no one knows if he was a real person, or just a legend, I’ve traced Ragnar in my family tree to be my 41st Great-Grandfather. And Uhtred of Bamburgh, the real-life character in Bernard Cornwell’s book series “The Saxon Stories” on which Netflix’s series “The Last Kingdom” is based, is supposed to be my 29th Great-Grandfather.

Wow you can trace back that far? My trail ends at 17th ggf on ancestry.com. Anything after that seems to be pure speculation. I do have Lucille Ball and Katherine Hepburn in there which is kinda neat.
