But how far back do we need to go before someone is considered an ancestor? |

Interesting question-made me think a bit. I believe anyone you are descended from is your ancestor so that would include your parents as well. |

An ancestor is really anyone you are related to starting with your parents. |

Ancestors are the people you are descended from, descendants are your children and so on. |
