Question:

Can you trace your descent to any Biblical figures?

I think its cool that many Jews can trace their descent to biblical figures like Aaron and King David. My family has a longstanding tradition of Davidic descent.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: That is IMPOSSIBLE to do a genealogy going back 2000+.

It's a romantic notion and some people can trace their family tree over 300 years, but considering how wars destroyed fragile paper records, family names have changed, spelling changed, adoptions, etc can make tracing ancestry difficult.

Tracing more than 300 years is problematic. Tracing 2000+ years is IMPOSSIBLE.

What some people can do is trace the linguistic, geographic, and history of the family name, but to go beyond 300 years is very difficult especially if you have a common name.

Jewish family names have changed many, many times over the years of Diaspora which makes Jewish genealogy very difficult.
