We descended from Hengest and Horsa.
The two brothers invited by the Celts to battle the Picts, Scots, and Irish for a price.
Which the Celts agreed to, and that agreement was land.
Which they eventually were betrayed by said Celts, no?
Mhm.
One was killed in battle.
I suppose that was hengest.
Any who after that may family i think moved to Ireland.
After the Normans came here.
In the 12 century there were granted an eralship.
I'm descended from Mungo the Hunter who founded the Scottish Clan Hunter
Ah, very nice.
Iirc he was a companion of Rolo the Viking
Interesting Family, the Hunters...they were granted stewardship of the King's game, hence the name
Ah, Very intresting.
But here is the item that makes me confused about my lineage.
Yes?
When i read into my ancestry of my name i found out after the eralship was attained. The Native Irish the O'Nadith clan changed all of there names to my ancestors last name.
When the landed.
So i am quite conflicted.
But i do not know if i am one of those descended people from Ireland who changed there name to suit the Leaders or.
That is a tough one
Whoops.
So that is a pickle.
It is hard to tell
So, I have improvised.
Facial features.
Which i've been trying to dechiper my facial type and what are the key features which would hint at decent.
That's harder to do then you might think.
Apparently one's ancestry gets hard to completely tell genetically after 12 generations or so
Which is why, going back to your earlier comment, that lineage documents become rather important
Mhm.
I have made head way though.
Yeah?
With the Facial Reconstruction of my own doing.
And it is quite intresting.
So, in reality i got majority Germanic Facial structure we a big chunk of Eastern style facial structure with it to.
So, maybe i do descended from those Earls.
Won't know till i become so impatient that i will buy one of those kits.
Well, as much as a meme he's become, JF Gay-Rapey does have a good point
