Believed to be the largest genealogical line in existence surely names are needed for every line. Normally reserved for nobility with provable lines this line seems to get back without names. Or are they only countries where ancestry could have come. I am confused.

On a quick read, Barry, I think it's based on a mitochondrial DNA and not a generational family tree of named ancestors.
