dude, have you heard of DNA testing? now, really, which planet and what century do you live in?

The Mississippi McCains, from which John McCain's family originates, has been the subject of a five year running DNA project. Now this does not address various maternal lines of his family, but it does relate to the general accuracy of his family's oral history; on the paternal aspect of his family's history the Senator has been accurate. And it is even possible that his haplotype is that of a dynastic family that rivals the famous R1b1c7 Northwest Irish model, research on-going right now on that aspect.

The family is as Gaelic as can be, name is Mac Eáin in Irish, from County Antrim, but a branch also in Donegal. Those McCains that stayed in Ireland have been DNA tested, do match the Mississippi McCains. There are also McCain branches now located in Ontario, New Brunswick, Texas, etc.

I'm not commenting one way or the other on the truth of the Charlemagne theory, but what method of math did you use when you said

"John McCain would have had to have traced his lineage through literally millions of relatives,.."

Let's just estimate about 4 generations per century (every 25 years a child grows up, and has a child of their own).

We just completed the 20th century, and Charlemagne was around in the 9th century. That's only 11 centuries, or about 44 generations (in other words, 44 relatives between Charlamagne and McCain)

What did you do? round up to the nearest million?
