Butters’ ancestry?

That was a theory Harry had, because Michael, Sanya and Shiro were.

And most importantly they knew they were. There is a story here, a tradition. Maybe even a belief, a sense of responsibility.
Magic in the dresdenverse runs on this kind of thing.

But if Molly had to conduct research (and it was implied she'd worked on it for a while) to find out that the Carpenters were descended from Charlemagne, I don't think it fits that Michael knew of his ancestry. Sanya and Shiro did, but it doesn't appear that Michael did. Harry grasped that theory from Michael's comment about Shiro's ancestry, and Sanya's remark about descending from Saladin, then had Molly look into it.
Unless her "research" was limited to, "Hey dad, was your great-great-great-grandcestor a monarch?"

Good research has to start somewhere and that is the logical place to start. I always assumed she just asked.
Bad Alias:
Which story was that? Small Favor? I seem to recall it had taken Molly time to figure it out. That would imply that she didn't just ask Michael. Did Shiro know he was descended from the last king of Okinawa? He probably did as the man would have been either his grandfather or great-grandfather, and I imagine I would know if one of my great-grandfathers had been a king.
