Tradition of Benjamite ancestry?

So both sides of my family hold a tradition that the family is descended from the Tribe of Benjamin. I’ve been curious for a while if anybody else has a similar family tradition of descent from a certain tribe (despite Leviim of course)? According to the Talmud, the house of Hillel the Elder is descended from the Tribe of Benjamin and thus so would Rashi, additionally, Mordechai was a Benjamite said to descend from Saul’s father Kish.
