Hey man, my family has noble Scottish heritage!
(Nevermind they lost a battle and the castle eroded into a hillside, then many of the clan became labourers – if we go back to before 1548, we’d be important!) That’s a true story by the way. And my great uncle was Secretary of State and Postmaster General in the US, for all the good that does me (none).
e: or we could all go back to when many of us were related to the Great Khan. So pick your year, commensurate with how important you want to feel based on heritage. It’s all bullshit.
