How recent? My dad supposedly traced us back to a cousin of Sir William Wallace (assuming nobody cheated over 700 years).
My partner's family on her dad's side are Wallaces. William Wallace's clan, and more recently Bigfoot Wallace. Texas Ranger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_A._A._Wallace
Now, I'm adopted, so no effing idea. But my "family" on dad's side, believe it or not, Torvald the Lustfull, Viking pillager king. And several that came over on the Mayflower. Might be some crossing over of family tree branches in the 1600s. Mom is a direct descendant of Governor John H. Mickey of Nebraska. We have a very large sterling tea service from the governor's mansion with the Nebraska seal on it. And I have an invitation card for when his daughter Mary Nain Mickey, the sponsor and christener of the USS Nebraska BB-16, built here in Seattle. Part of the Great Fleet.
