Apparently the Millers
have been royalty (Scottish,
English,
Norwegian,
Irish,
Danish and
French) from the 9th century until 1406 when
we started mixing with regular folk (oh well).
As well as having
descended from royalty (which explains their
genteel manner) the Miller's are also direct
descendents from at least two Saints (Saint
Margaret of Scotland go
here for the connection and
Saint Olga of Kiev, go
here for the connection) which probably
explains their beatific disposition. Assuming the data on the web site Ancestry.com is reliable and accurate then the following connections are true. |
Scotland: Starting
with Robert Miller it's 20 generations back to
hit John Earl of Carrick (King
Robert III of Scotland (1340-1406
go
here
for the steps) and 38 generations will go
all the way back to
Kenneth I (810-858) the first king of
Scotland
go
here
for the rest of the steps. It is also 20
generation back to
William Wallace (Braveheart) Scotland/Ireland: Kenneth I ancestors include Fergus mor Macerc the legendary founder of Scotland in 501, Muireadhach Tireach King of Ireland in 356, Niall Noígíallach of the High Kings of Ireland and even earlier High Kings of Ireland such as Túathal Techtmar from 56 AD.) It's 65 generations to get back this far (go here for the steps from Kenneth I back to Túathal Techtmar).
England/Norway: We are also direct
descendents of the Kings of England (28
generations to
Henry the I and 29 to
William I the Conqueror and 31 to
King Edmund II) as well as the King of
Norway (Harald
the III) go
here
for the connections. For a
step by step trip back go
