Wing Chun is derived from a branch of Feeding Crane -- Wing Chun was, I believe, one of the Feeding Crane designer's descendents -- though it may be rather that she was a trainee rather than actual family.
That at least is based on the geneology that Liu Chang I (Grand Master of the Feeding Crane school) showed us when he was here teaching a seminar on Feeding Crane.
Bruce Lee was on his chart also -- on the Wing Chun branch.
There's some uncertainty in that, of course. Only the Okinawan karate history is actually harder to find than the traditional Chinese :)
(The modern, flashy wire-fu stuff doesn't count, it's not traditional, or even particularly old.)
