| These pages are based
on the book called Irish Pedigrees or The Origin and Stem
of the Irish Nation by John O'Hart published in 1892 by
James Duffy & Co. Ltd. This book is probably
available to read on a special order from your local
library. The part is based on genealogies taken from the
Bible so they are as accurate as you believe them to be.
Some of his other links are, I believe, suspect but I
have not found a document correcting them and the
existence of the individuals is supported from ancient
documents. But when people live more than 100 years in
ancient times I think that is an excuse to fill the gap
in years where generations have been forgotten.
I have entered the
pedigree for Dowlings in Brøderbund's Family Tree Maker. |
The package lets me have a family home page which I used
for more recent Dowlings and does not provide sufficient
space for these Ancients so they are listed here. The
list, however, has been generated automatically by that
program and gives all I have typed. Like all other
genealogy programs I have looked at it does not handle BC
dates let alone AM (Anno Mundi) or AU (Annals of Ulster).
Therefore, the dates were entered in a location field
which ends up looking a little ungrammatical hear and
there.
The lists, with some
supporting history, is broken down into several pages
here are the links to those pages and a few much shorter
pages from his second volume which has 'mentions' of
Dowlings.
Note that items
1. to 6. are very long documents
