Chuck, I don't want to be rude but that guy was a liar. Almost no one on this earth can trace its ancestry to such an old time. At most you can trace it back to 800 A.D.
A question, nevertheless. Was he of Asian descent? Asians can trace their ancestry further than Westerners. Nevertheless, the world record for Family history remain that of Confucius (China) and that goes back to his birth around 550BC.
Paul, do you know that website? It might interest you.
