Descent from Charlemagne

I was just reading this article the other day that basically makes the same claim: http://sandwalk.blogspot.com/2009/10/are-you-descedant-of-charlemag...

I have wondered about this as well. Certainly we are descendants of Charlemagne and I don't think much about it. I believe that the genes going back a couple hundred years are still relevant to who you are (less diluted) but after that, not so much.

Yes, I want to know about all the connections ( back 32 generations from my daughter ), but I certainly would not brag about the distant ones.
