We're practically cousins

Today I found a genealogy link to the earliest ransackers of post Roman Empire Europe. Just for shiggles, I calculated my relationship to Charlemagne.

It's amazing - we could be first cousins almost!
Charlemagne, King of the Franks, Holy Roman Emperor (747 - 814) 
relationship to you: 1st cousin 8x removed of wife of 3rd cousin 37x removed

Okay, maybe not quite. I'm a little more related to Dracula.
Vlad Dracula III (1431 - 1476) 
relationship to you: 12th great grand uncle of wife of 31st cousin 9x removed

Of course, being descended from the Yngling dynasty of Swedish kings (cough, cough, awesome, cough), I can top all of that since the Ynglings claim to be descended from GODS.

Odin of Asgard 
Your 67th great grandfather 
Birth 190 in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany 
Death 260 in Lake Malaran, Uppsala, Sweden



Yep. That's right. I'm descended from ODIN. I need a giant hammer and some lighting bolts.
