Where can you trace your family back all the way to Adam and Eve?

If you are Jewish, you may be able to trace your family tree back far enough to connect with one of the numerous genealogies provided throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible -- if you are not Jewish, then this will prove more challenging, as you will have to independently trace your family back pre-Abraham to find a match on any of the Biblical genealogies to trace your family back to Adam (unless you happen to be a descendant of Ishmael) -- although there are also many independent genealogies leading back to Adam outside of the Bible.
