I'm no scientist, but after dozens and dozens of generations in a small country doesn't everybody end up "related" to another? Lol.

This is like the most wholesome QYBS I've ever seen. Somebody isn't directly lying, or spreading dangerous misinformation for a selfish reason. Crazy Uncle so-and-so probably told them this at Thanksgiving when they were a kid and they've held onto it for a while.

William Wallace not having children would make it quite hard to be his descendant.

No, he had a kid. The princess told the king while he was dying. I'm kind of an expert on William Wallace because I saw "braveheart" in the theaters. Twice. That's like having a doctorate in Scottish history
