I've been attempting to do genealogical research recently. Interestingly, I have so far discovered that I am descended from Henry II of England. However, I have also seen a website that suggests that I could be descended from a Roman emperor, as well. I don't really see how that can be, though, because genealogical records weren't kept in ancient Rome the way they were kept among the European nobility and royalty during the Middle Ages. I can understand why there would be records linking my family to medieval English royalty, but I can't imagine that there would be records linking my family to Roman emperors.
