1. If you are an Ashkenazi, and unless you are descended from a gadol, it is unlikely you can trace your ancestry much before the adoption of surnames, since there were not all that many records.
2. Using scientific evidence, together with Humash, I can safely say I am descended from Adam Ha-Rishon, and I am a bit nervous from what all the other people are descended from.
