This is a website for my immediate family, aunts, uncles and cousins and any distant relatives who  are searching for their ancestors.  The best thing to do is to sign in, then go to  the "relationships" tool at the bottom of this page.  Choose your name on the left, and anyone on  the list on the right to see how you are related to that person.   Also, I have used Samantha  Hoy's web page extensively to link the MacKay's and Kent's to the peerage of England.

We are also direct descendants of the Scottish Kings, the last of our heritage being William the  Lion.  Some of that heritage comes through the English Royal lines, (from Malcolm III's daughter  Matilda) but we also have direct lineage to the Scottish Kings through Northumbrian families,  which, as my son Levi is pleased to note, have no relation at all to the Plantagenets.

If you scroll down, under "Useful Links", you can go to the Peerage Website which is chronicaling  all known peerage of Europe descendants.  When you go there, you are looking for John Swinbourne,  and Mary Shemons.  Our ancestor is their daughter is Hannah, tho of 8 children, only her brother  Thomas is listed on this site.  I am working on getting Hannah listed as well.  Hannah married  Alexander Kent , from Scotland, and Hannah and Alexander were Ida Kent MacKay's great- grandparents.  I'll include a picture of the pedigree chart that Clan MacKay sent to me and you  can see how we get to John Swinbourne in 1717.  Also use the "family tree" view to see the  websites I have attached to many names.  They help the anscestors be more real to us!

Because of a distant cousin, Samantha Hoy, from Australia, who has done extensive research on the  Swinbornes, I discovered the Royal roots that Mum always said her Grandma MacKay talked about.  It  seems we are direct descendants of virtually all Medieval Royalty.
