Indeed, Thierry-Pierre Lorrain is my 8th ggf. His line can be traced on geni for five more generations to about 1500. These are ancestors who lived in France. You can climb the family tree on geni one generation at a time. Some of them will track back to royalty in the Middle Ages. Everyone who has western European roots is descended from many royal families. The hard part is tracing the names! That's where geni's World Family Tree is so helpful.
