âThis is about as far back as you can go unless youâre a Viking,â Norton responded. âMakes you realize what a small piece of the whole human story you are.â
If he really was descended from Pocahontas, he could go back quite a bit further on her side of the family.

Theyâve come a long way in ten years from just those three categories. Though still not without controversy. And time limits. Itâs based upon were people were 500 years ago? Doesnât mean populations were there earlier.

I think the category must be European colonizer. Back in Europe or Indigenous doesnât count. It has to be an ancestor in North America who could say âHey! Iâm colonizing here!â

But:
â What is the farthest back someone can trace their lineage?
The oldest traceable family tree is that of the Chinese Kang clan, which documents the familyâs lineage over 5200 years and more than 80 generations! This family tree contains over 2 million descendants, including the great philosopher Confuciusâ
Or so they say.

But the way he traced it back to early settlers and Pocahontas, and then stopped. 
Itâs like itâs a Young America Creationism, where North America didnât exist until after 1492 and before the Saints stepped ashore at Plymouth. Indigenous people just happened to be there when it was created.

Her father is known. But I doubt thereâs records beyond him.
I donât know if they traced other parts of his ancestry further- didnât watch the show.

There was some last minute stage management to shuffle around vikings and Lost Tribes of Israel. (âWhat are they doing here?â âTheyâre in this draft, but you have to read it with a seer stone.â)

*Not sure if they restored any more since this was recorded.

Who would want a private communications service that isnât tracked by law enforcement?
Organized crime? Insurrectionist âmilitiasâ? Apologies- I just repeated myself.
