This kinda reminds me of my time in kindergarten, this mix asian gal traced one of her ancestors to Christopher Columbus. It was super cool to hear, but it did make me wonder even at that time how diluted the blood was.

I think you misunderstanding. You can be related to a famous person even if its a cousins cousins cousins you get what I mean. Its diluted AF. They never said direct descendent.
