Well I hope they give you a rabies shot, before you next enter Britain.
And no smuggling yourself in on the back of a lorry!
Found this, but not the thread I started about anscestor numbers...yet.

I'm not doubting your claim, but if you average four generations per century, if we only take it back to 1600, that means you have 65,536 direct descendants. As far as I can gather the population of the county, pre-industrial revolution, was under 60,000. Therefore your ancestors may have had to interbreed, to ensure pure Lancastrian stock.
It's a wonder you haven't got one big eye, and eleven fingers and toes...or have you?
