   If you accept the Biblical account of creation, nobody has 250   
   generations of ancestors, since there would only be about 200   
   generations total since Adam.  Therefore, the closest I (or anyone else)   
   could come to answer your question is Adam of the Old Testament Book of   
   Genesis, who was perhaps my 190th to 200th great-grandfather.  Since God   
   gave Adam dominion over the entire earth, if we're going by ancestry   
   back to 200 generations I have as good a claim as anyone to every acre   
   of land on earth.   
      
   One of my earliest ancestors I have actually traced through genealogy   
   records is a man named Godwulf (no last name) who was born about 80 A.D.   
     He was the fourth great-grandfather of my 61st great-grandfather   
   Skjold, King of the Danes, born about 237 A.D.  All of which, I'm sure,   
   is more information than you expected to get from me, and is definitely   
   more information than you're going to give me in return.
