I couldn’t fucking believe it but after looking through other genealogical accounts and archives it seems everything is correct.
My 51st great grandfather was Fergus Mór, founder of Scotland and the first royal Scottish family.
2 years of doing my own research later it turns out it’s Scots all the way down to when Scotland (and Northern Ireland) was still Dál Riata and the first king Erc of Dál Riata born in the early 400s. Possibly even as far back as Conaire Cóem born around 90 C.E., but I could never find trustworthy documentation past Erc. I’ve gotten back 52 generations now lol
So I knew I came from clan Kennedy and I was just kinda doing research off the cuff and came across the clan tartan and it’s. fucking. I have a quilt my grandma made for me when I was born and it has THE SAME TARTAN and I NEVER knew!!!!! I’m not even sure SHE knew because she reused the fabric from a quilt her grandmother made her when she was born but like that just totally solidified it for me like I’ve been sleeping under my own clan tartan for the past 22 years completely unknowingly
5 years later and I’ve gotten back to BCE lads!!!!! They hadn’t even invented last names yet
