Colga of Kilcolgan

According to genealogies, Colga and Feilis were of the progeny of Aodh mac Lughaidh mac Nath Í mac Fiachra. This would make him a kinsman of the Uí Fiachrach Aidhne dynasty, and its rulers such as Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin.

Ethnoscience

Malinowski said “… with his tables of kinship terms, genealogies, maps, plans and diagrams, proves an extensive and big organization, shows the contribution of the tribe, of the clan, of the family, and he gives a picture of the natives subjected to a strict code of behavior and good manners, to which in comparison the life at the Court of Versailles or Escurial was free and easy” (1922: 10).

This branch of the family is mentioned by Sir Michael O'Dwyer, in The O'Dwyers of Kilnamanagh, "Chapter XIX - The O'Dwyers in Ireland, 1691-1803", but he says the O'Dwyer genealogies are lost and specific lines of descent from the chiefs are speculative.

Matthew 1

Unlike most Biblical genealogies, Matthew's genealogy mentions several figures not in the direct line of descent, including four women, Tamar, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Rahab.

In the sixteenth century Ambrosio de Morales discovered a manuscript titled "Many Genealogies of the Scripture until Our Lady and Saint Anne", a genealogy of the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne ascribed to Pelagius, in the cathedral library of Oviedo.

Records of the Grand Historian

For example, in the first chapter, "Annals of the Five Emperors," he writes, "I have read the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Guoyu." In his 13th chapter, "Genealogical Table of the Three Ages," Sima Qian writes, "I have read all the genealogies of the kings (dieji 谍记) that exist since the time of the Yellow Emperor."
