How far back can you trace your family?

My late uncle apparently did a lot of research into our family before his death, I've never asked about it directly (like my Grandad's history as a submariner!) but really should. And soon, for you never know when tomorrow will be too late.

Everybody, including the Kincaids (my mom's side) and the Macleans of Mull (my wifes side) fought the Campbells at some point. From which we get the big hit 'The Campbells are coming Hurrah, Hurrah' Thank God for a claymore and a wool skirt with the sporran in front for added protection! In checking out the proper wool tartan for the Kincaid thing however, I found out that I' only come from a 'Sub' clan. So it all fits: in my oilskin kilt in my VIIB off Glasgow...
