Can you trace it all the way back to Noah?

I don't know about the Christians... But I've legitimately tied my ancestry in with Danish royalty, which takes me all the way back to Skjold and thus to Odin, and of course, his parentage.
Also tied in with Rollo the Viking, AND King Harold II of England... So... some of my folks came in and battled some of my other folks, since much of William the Norman's family members fought in England with him, including my line. But, since it was an ancestor of William the Norman, and not William, himself, I'm tied in with English nobility, but not the actual royalty as far as we've found. Though, since one of my ancestors was Harold II, that line goes back to Hengst, and again... To Odin. :)
I love being able to tie in certain lines like that. Somewhat ironic in a wry way. Warring lines tied in, many generations down. On the other hand, they could be arranged to end bad blood... and thus not ironic at all.
Got a few famous Viking types quite a ways this side of Skjold, too. But if you tie in with European royalty, you're bound to find a few of those.
And a captain of the guard for Queen Elizabeth I.
By the way... not claiming anything with the royalty line... I'm so far removed from any claims to any titles, that the only thing the royals would be willing to give me would be a swift kick in the nether regions, and a uniformed escort off the premises.

I've been able to trace my tree back to the Vikings on one side (we've always been a rowdy bunch), and to Roman times on the other side.
But tracing back to Noah, no one can do so. Clues are given in Genesis, when the names of Noah's descendants are given.
For example, Shem, the eldest, became the "Oriental" peoples, which include the Jewish people.
Japheth, the next in line, became the Caucasian peoples.
Ham, the youngest, became the Egyptian/African peoples.

I'm not Christian but we can trace back to Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Ireland, Denmark and Czech. Of course...I'm only third generation so that isn't hard to do. LOL
We are traced back to some of our later villages but between the Nazi's and Stalin, if it's not in the "Family Bible" it's hard to trace things back legitimately.

Not a chance. Anyone who says they can is stretching credibility too far to be taken seriously. Remember, things like marriage licenses and birth certificates are fairly new inventions. Noah lived a nomadic life as did many many generations after him. How, then, would we trace our ancestry to him?

I can trace my family's geneology to 1500s, in the British Isles and Denmark.
One of the lines was Russian royalty that was taken to Denmark as royalty, working as hunters for the king.
They went through an incredible amount of hardship in coming to America and crossing the plains.
Another one of my lines, my last name (James) came to Utah from California and brought alfalfa and cherry trees to Utah. They were originally from Wales and sailed to California as iron workers.

My tree was cut off at my parents. Gone. Note: If you go to the geneology site run by the LDS, know that when you log on to investigate your family tree, all those that are dead and you too will be baptized by proxy into the LDS religion. Something they fail to tell you... True.

no, but I have a family tree on my mother's side that goes back to 11th century Norway. Some of those Norwegian names are so so antiquated, and the towns they lived in and stuff. It is amazing to read it. the Thorsons and the Skovholts, etc....

My religious historical past may also be traced again to Christ with out EVER encountering the Roman Catholic Church. God's Church is traced by way of the ones peoples who have been persecuted through the RCC for the period of historical past for containing rapid the doctrines of Christ. The RCC started to desert the doctrines of Christ and the Apostles within the early moment century. Yet there have consistently been folks who comply with Christ and reject the corrupted teachings of the RCC. The Church in Asia Minor defied the bishop of Rome and despatched Polycarp to rebuke him. After him, Polycrates rebuked the Roman bishop for his persisted deviation from Apostolic doctrine. Victor, the bishop of Rome, idea he excommunicated from the Church of Christ individuals who didn't comply with in his corruptions, whilst certainly, he excommunicated himself and his fans from Christ and God. Sylvester bought the Church at Rome into whoredom whilst he triggered her to lie within the mattress of the Roman Emperor beneath Constantine. Contrary to Catholic perception and educating, the reality of Christ nonetheless exists, nonetheless prospers, and nonetheless lives through each and every Word of God. And it has ALWAYS been become independent from the Catholic Church.
