Great-great-great-great-grandparents, down to you. Most people have 23 chromosome pairs, which means that at least 18 of the gggg-gr generation didn't pass any of their genome to you, assuming there are no duplicates for that generations (because of criss-crossing lines of descent). The cell over the first 46 is just an illustration, not to show which ones were and were not, since there's (probably, usually) no way to know exactly.
