The head of the family was able to arrange the purchase from the Hohenems family of the minuscule Lordship of Schellenberg in 1699, and the County of Vaduz in 1712. Schellenberg and Vaduz indeed had no feudal lord other than their comital sovereign and the suzerain Emperor.
(from Wikipedia)
So the Liechtensteins preceed much longer their tiny country to which they gave the name, but they are not "natives" to the principality.
As to "natives", may be only some german non-reigning families:
The Wittelsbachs are native from Bavaria
The Wurttembergs are native to Wurttemberg
The R.H. of Saxony and all its branches
The Mecklenburgs
The Badens
I would not name the Hohenzollerns who are "native" of Hechingen in today Bade-Wurttemberg and spread to burgraves of Nurenberg, electors of Brandenburg and kings/Empererors of Prussia in Berlin
