Fergusons of Ireland
Fergusons of
Ireland
"Fergus (subking of a
Tuatha called Dalriada) colonized a part of Scotland in 470 AD that was
nearest his Tuatha in Ulster, i.e. the present Argyll and gave his new Kingdom
the name Dalriada. From this little colony the Irish colonists gradually
spread over Scotland until the whole of Scotland was governed by the kings of
the Dalriada line. That is why the native language of Scotland is Gaelic and
akin to the Irish very closely." Casserley, D., History of Ireland,
Talbot Press Limited, Dublin and Cork as summarized by Beryl F.E. Moore,
LDS Film 1596994.
...Consider joining the
FERGUSON DNA Project. We all hope to bypass
missing records and show where in Scotland or Ireland our most ancient of
ancestors originated.
