We can only trace on my Mother's side, as my Dad's side were boat people as well. However, my husband explained to me that only certain groups of people even recorded births/deaths, so almost everyone who can trace their ancestry to Europe is related.

My husband, like almost everyone else who can trace anything, is decended from Kenneth MacAlpin, who was the first King Of Scotland. Doesn't make a dang bit of difference, or make anyone special, just shows that zillions are decended from him.
