DR01
On the direct Carrington/Rankin ancestor heritage line DR01 of the Carrington family goes back to OILIOLL Cassfiaclagh King of Ireland in 160BC but dates are very sketchy this far back as I have names from historical texts but not accurate birth dates after Crommcenn. The Scottish Renaissance humanist George Buchanan gave a long list of Scottish Kings in his history of Scotland—published in Latin going back even further titled Rerum Scoticarum Historia in 1582—most of the earliest kings are now considered by historians to be figures of legend,or completely misrepresented. The list went back around 1900 years from 1580 and began with Fergus I. James VI of Scotland, who was Buchanan's pupil, he adopted the story of Fergus I as his ancestor, and the antiquity of the line was emphasised by the House of Stuart. So if ancient Scottish and Irish history is of interest and the Kings and Queens of Dál Riata follow the Rankin family from my mothers mother JESSIE Rankin and then DR01 all the way back more than 2,100 years of direct ancestral line! At ETHNE Eldest Daughter MacCorbred II b 0050 I have included a link to the book as I have used evidence from it past this point. Dates before 1500 are usually approximate as births and deaths were often not registered only names of children. I have used Wills, graves, encyclopaedia references, books and web sources such as Wikipedia and have only recorded on this tree plausible dates, the web is unfortunately full of impossible records!
