Our family myth is that we are descended from the (now defunct) Austrian Royal Family and my great-aunt has a dinner service to prove it (which I have never seen!).
Of course, it is proving hard (near impossible) to push back through my Italian ancestry into my Austrian ancestry and so I am nowhere near proving this. I cannot even get proper information on my great-grandarents let alone any further back.
Maybe that's a good thing though - it's a nice family myth to hold on to
