I got really into it at one point and traced it waaay back. But then I started wondering how accurate it really was.
One adoption or an indiscreet female ancestor and the whole thing could be meaningless.
What was more interesting to me was the books written about my more immediate family. There was one written by someone who mentioned my grandfather a bit, and his father a lot more. It was fun to get a sort of neutral third party opinion of what they were like. That grandfather died before I was born, and my father was mum on the subject of his family. What we know came from other relatives. Although he chatted a bit with my cousin shortly before he died.
