There was a template for undead ancestry, though i forget where it was from, pretty much some where in your past you had undead (liches, vampires etc) for relatives, you get some bonuses out of the deal. Any ideas for sources?

There are several templates for undead parent. There is half vampire in libris mortis, and several like gheden (half zombie) in some dragon mag. There is also bloodline levels in UA

You could make a minor custom bloodline if you wanted. That could work.

Don't really need to make it custom, if you're OK with a Vampire (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/bloodlines.htm#vampire) bloodline.

Yes, but it (and frankly ALL minor bloodlines) sucks really, really bad.
Custom major templates are awesome though. + 10 feats for 3 BL levels? YES!

Dragon #313 pg. 166 has the Death-Touched, humans with undead ancestry, who gain bonuses to both Cha and Wis, and are LA +1.

You could also, in the case of vampires, anyway, take monster-class levels and just not take them all. I don't know if other undead have this option. I wouldn't do zombie levels, though; remember RULE #1!

If one just wants a minor bit, one can take Tomb-Tainted Soul or other feats in that line (in Libris Mortis) and easily fluff them as undead ancestry.

I think there was a feat by the name of either Lichborn or Lichtouched or something similar.

Rarely do you see such a perfect solution.

Why do I imagine Tsukiko taking this feat for all the wrong reasons?

There are right reasons for taking Lichloved?

That's the one. I knew it was Lichsomething. Though now I remember what it actually is I don't think it's that relevant.
