My grandmother once did one where we found out that we are descendants of Robert E. Lee's sister.

Yes. I am a direct descendant of Charlemagne...assorted kings, queens, knights, bishops and so forth.
My Mom was in the Who's Who for her state; an uncle was in the Who's Who; my grandfather rode with Red Cloud. Nothing closer than that.
But, hey, you must be related to SOMEONE famous; it is just a matter of how far back.
I mean, considering the powers of 2, by the time you go back 35 generations, it would take more people than are alive today. Meaning that, while people say, "Yeah, everyone is descended from Adam and Eve, so everyone is related", doing the math, essentially everyone is related by going back less than 35 generations!
That would mean, basically, the Medieval Era.
