55 Hnabi Ahalolfings The Alaholfings (occasionally Ahalolfings) were a noble family of Alemannia in the Early Middle Ages. They were related to the previous rulers of Alemannia, to the Bavarian Agilolfings and to the Geroldings. Their original power base was around the upper Neckar and Danube rivers. They came to possess lands in not only Alemannia, but also in Bavaria, Franconia and Italy. The Ahalolfings are divided into two groups, the older and the younger. It is not certain how the two groups are related. The older group descends from a Berthold who was the joint founder, with Hnabi, of Reichenau Abbey in 724. His most famous descendant was Cadolah, Duke of Friuli, who defended the Pannonian plains into Italy from the Avars. In modern scholarship, the family is named after Halaholf, although in later generations the family's leading name was Berthold. The younger branch of the family itself comprises two branches. Empress Richardis descends from Erchanger. Her sister married Berthold I and was the mother of the other branch of the family, which included the famous Erchanger, Duke of Swabia, and his brother Berthold II. The Ahalolfings died out when Berthold III died in 973, though the House of Zähringen may be descended from them. The Ahalolfings were a powerful Germanic noble family who rose to prominence in the Frankish realm during the early Middle Ages. Closely related to the former ruling house of Bavaria, the Agilolfings, they were primarily based in the duchy of Alemannia (modern-day Swabia) along the upper Danube and Neckar rivers. Rise to power and Carolingian service Expansion through the empire: As the Carolingian Empire solidified its power in the 8th and 9th centuries, the Ahalolfings expanded their influence. They held offices and acquired lands not only in Alemannia but also in Bavaria, Franconia, and Italy. Service as imperial officials: Several Ahalolfings served as missi dominici (imperial envoys), carrying out the Carolingian king's administrative and legal mandates. Connection to the Agilolfings: The family was related to the Agilolfings, the previous rulers of Bavaria, and the two dynasties were connected through marriage. Key figures and branches The Ahalolfings are typically divided into older and younger branches, though their exact relationship is unclear. Older branch Hnabi: Believed to be the founder of the dynasty. Along with a relative named Berthold, Hnabi co-founded Reichenau Abbey in 724. Cadolah, Duke of Friuli: A notable descendant who defended Italy against the Avars. Younger branch Richardis: A member of the younger branch who became Holy Roman Empress by marrying Charles the Fat, the Carolingian emperor. She was renowned for her piety and was later canonized. Erchanger, Duke of Swabia: Richardis's nephew and a powerful Swabian count. He was eventually named Duke of Swabia, but his rebellion against King Conrad I led to his execution in 917. Decline of the dynasty Loss of the Swabian duchy: Following Erchanger's execution in 917, the family lost its hold on the Duchy of Swabia. Extinction of the male line: The male line of the Ahalolfings is believed to have died out with the death of Berthold III in 973. Some historians speculate that the later House of Zähringen may have been descended from them. 0 0 0

58 Iceni This tree is for Bouidica (Queen of the Iceni) and King Prastagus of the Iceni. Boudica was the consort of Prasutagus, king of the Iceni, a tribe who inhabited what is now the English county of Norfolk and parts of the neighbouring counties of Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Lincolnshire. The Iceni produced some of the earliest known British coins. No sons are known to this couple. Only 2 daughters are thought to have come from this couple of the Iceni. At the time of the Roman conquest of southern Britain Queen Boudica ruled the Iceni tribe of East Anglia (Norfolk) alongside her husband King Prasutagus. Boudica and Prastagus both died in 60/61. Boudica may be the descendant of Beli Mawr and Joseph of Arimathea. She might also be the Ancestress to the Silurian lines through one of her daughters and to the Camulod/Camelot & Cholchester lines which include King Cole. As well as to the Sicambrian Franks, Vortigern of Powys, Wales, and the Kings of Rhegged.  0 0 0

61 John Reside The surname Reside is of Scottish origin, specifically locational, meaning it derives from a place name. It is linked to a now-lost area formerly known as "The lands of Rysyid" in Ayrshire or possibly the River Rae in Dumfriesshire. The surname's earliest recordings are found in the southwest of Scotland.  0 0 0 
62 Kincaid Families  This is for my Kincaid Families. MCRA is currently unknown. The surname Kincaid is of Scottish origin, specifically a habitational name derived from the lands of Kincaid in Campsie, Stirlingshire. Clan Kincaid is a Scottish clan with a long history, and the name is closely associated with the Earldom of Lennox. The earliest recorded instance of the name is in 1238, spelled as "Kincaith". The chiefs of Clan Kincaid are said to be descended from several families including the ancient Earls of Lennox, the Galbraiths of Buthernock, the Grahames and also the Comyn Lords of Badenoch. In 1238 an early reference to the name is found when Alexander II of Scotland granted the lands of Kincade to Maldouen, third Earl of Lennox. During the Scottish Civil War of the seventeenth century the Kincaids fought on the royalist side.[2] However they largely campaigned in Ireland.[2] The family suffered as a result of supporting the royalists (Scottish Rep Side) and many of the name Kincaid emigrated to North America. During the Jacobite rising of 1715 the Kincaids supported the exiled Stuarts and following the rising David Kincaid left Scotland and settled in Virginia. 0 0 0

64 Lavinia Buchanan This tree is for my 4th Great-Grandmother, Lavinia Buchanan. I'm curious to know how closely related she was to Pres. Buchanan and to Col./ Major John Buchanan (January 12, 1759 – November 7, 1832) who was an American frontiersman and one of the founders of present-day Nashville, Tennessee. Some have traced the lineages of 3 of these to a John Buchanan who came over from Tyrone County, Ireland and was possibly of Scottish descent. According to this, Lavinia would be 2nd cousins 1x removed to Maj. John Buchanan and 3rd cousins 1x removed from Pres. Buchanan and Maj. John would be Pres. James Buchanan's uncle... 0 0 0

He and his wife, Frances, later joined a group of dissenters and relocated to Maryland, settling on the Severn River. 0 0 0 
74 Picts This Tree is families who have their roots in the Picts. The Picts were a group of peoples who lived in what is now Scotland north of the Firth of Forth during the Early Middle Ages (approximately AD 300 to 900). The Picts' origins are somewhat debated, but they are thought to be descendants of the Caledonians and other tribes mentioned by Roman historians. They eventually merged with the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata to form the kingdom of Alba, which later became Scotland. Maybe associated with the Calydonian Boar Hunt from symbols of the Blue Boar? They occupied the northern and eastern parts of Scotland, extending south to the Firth of Forth, as well as the Orkney and possibly Shetland Islands. Recent DNA studies have challenged some long-standing myths about the Picts, such as their proposed origins in eastern Europe and the inheritance of wealth through the female line. One famous Pict is Melusine. The Symbol of the Lusignan Dynasty, who lived in the early 700's.  0 0 0

80 Suebia Hermeric was the founder of the Kingdom of the Suebi in 406 CE, leading a migration of the Suebi people from their homeland above the Rhine into the Iberian Peninsula. He was the first king of the Gallaecian Suebi, a Germanic people who established a kingdom that lasted until 585 CE. Who: Hermeric, the first King of the Gallaecian Suebi. What: He founded the Kingdom of the Suebi by leading a migration from Germania into the Roman province of Gallaecia (modern-day Spain and Portugal). When: Around 406 CE. Why: The migration was part of a larger Germanic movement into the Roman Empire during the late antique period. The Suebi (also spelled Suevi or Suavi) were a large group of Germanic peoples first reported by Julius Caesar in the 1st century BC. In different contexts over several centuries, peoples within this umbrella category were sometimes simply called the Suebi, although all or most Suebian peoples had their own names as well. They originated near the Elbe River in what is now Eastern Germany. From there, Suebian groups spread across Central Europe, and in the 5th and 6th centuries some took over parts of Spain, Portugal and Italy. Archaeologically, the forerunners of the Suebi before contact with Rome are associated with the Jastorf culture. After the Battle of Adrianople in 378, the Suebi, Romans and other peoples of the Middle Danube were unsettled by the large-scale arrival of Huns, Goths, Alans, and other newcomers from eastern Europe. Around 406, many Middle Danubians, including many Quadi, moved far to the west, entering Roman Gaul, and disrupting it badly. A large group of "Suebi", probably including many Quadi and other Middle Danubians, entered Roman Hispania by 409, where a civil war was in progress. There they established the Kingdom of the Suebi in Gallaecia (north-west Iberia), which lasted from 409 to 585. This was eventually absorbed by the Visigoths, but its legacy survives in local place-names. While there is uncertainty about the languages of the first tribes identified by Romans as Germani, the Suebi are generally agreed to have spoken one or more Germanic languages within the West Germanic group. Modern languages which have evolved at least partly from Suebian languages include standard German itself, and also Alemannic German, including Swabian, Alsatian and Swiss German, and Bavarian and Austrian German. West Germanic was spoken not only by peoples known to have Suebian roots, such as the Langobards and Alemanni, but also by Franks, Saxons, Frisians, Anglo-Saxons, and Thuringians who were never called Suebi. After the resignation of the co-emperors Diocletian and Maximian in 305 AD, and the death of Maximian's replacement as western emperor Constantius Chlorus in 306 AD, Constantine I, the son of Constantius, was proclaimed emperor by his army while based at York in Britain. Many Suebi from the Danubian region were assimilated into the Langobards (Lombards), who had themselves long ago been counted among the Suebian peoples in first and second century Roman ethnography. In the 6th century, the Langobards were no longer referred to as Suebi, but they apparently absorbed Suebi during their time in the Middle Danubian, including some from the southern Suavian part of Pannonia. When the Lombards entered Italy after 568, Suebi were among the groups who joined them, and formed part of their realm in Italy. Despite all these changes, there are indications that at least one group of Suebi, the so-called "northern Suebi", seem to have survived near their Elbe homelands into the Middle Ages. The Frankish king Theudebert I (534–547) wrote to the Byzantine emperor Justinian boasting that at the start of his reign in 534 the Frankish kingdom extended "from the Danube and the frontiers of Pannonia to the northern Ocean". The subjects peoples living north of the Danube were listed as the Thuringians, North Swabians (Norsavi), Saxons, and the Eucii, who were perhaps identical with the Jutes. The Agilolfings were a noble family that ruled the Duchy of Bavaria on behalf of their Merovingian suzerains from about 550 until 788. A cadet branch of the Agilolfings also ruled the Kingdom of the Lombards intermittently from 616 to 712. They are mentioned as the leading dynasty in the Lex Baiuvariorum (c. 743). Their Bavarian residence was at Regensburg. The dynasty's eponymous ancestor is Agilulf, a semi-legendary prince of the Suebi and descendant of Hermeric, the 5th-century Suevic king of Galicia, possibly identical with one Agilulf, a steward of the Visigothic king Theoderic II, who was executed in 457. 0 0 0 
81 Thomas King of Sudbury & Marlboro Thomas King emigrated to the colonies in either 1638 or 1639. He settled in Sudbury, MA. In 1642 the town ordered that Thomas King would have the power to view the river and agreed with the workmen to build a cart bridge over it. In 1650 Thomas owned Lot 50 in the southwest quadrant of a two mile grant. In 1656 he petitioned the court for an 8 square mile tract of land, 8 miles from Sudbury. This became the town of Marlborough. 0 0 0

86 Zahringer Dynasty The Zahringer Dynasty was founded by Berthold I. Hermann I the oldest son of Berthold, and the main line of the Zahringers, became the founder of the Ducal Crown of Baden... possibly closely related to the counts of Lenzburg, who also claimed Baden later. Also, possibly related through the male line to the Hapsburg Dynasty. Another Cadet branch of the Zahringer Dynasty are the Dukes of Teck. 0 0 0
