Genetically as well as Historically...
...just out of curiosity, how do you know this, Henk? Ancestor hunting is usually a bit difficult beyond a few hundred years.....but there are such things as mytochondrial DNA testing that is not so expensive, and advertised on the Net.
Even then though, that is but one thread among many, considering you have 4 grandparents, 8 Great-grandparents...and so on..... reckoning on 25 years aprox per generation gives 80 generations in the last 2,000 years or so, so 2 to the power 80 ancestors in theory, though many will overlap.....(1.20892583x10 to the power 24 = billions, in theory, but lots anyway!......... Which one(s) was Roman?)
