ROSS Family History
This ancient Anglo-Scottish surname has at least four origins. Firstly if found in southern Scotland, it is often from a Yorkshire family called Ros, Ross or Rosse, who purchased large estates in Ayrshire in the 12th century. These people were of Norman-French origins, who came over to England with Duke William of Normandy, better known in history as William,The Conqueror, in 1066. They originated from the village of 'Rots' near Caen, in Normandy. Secondly the name may be English but of Welsh (Olde English), origins, from any of the various places called Ross in Herefordshire, Northumberland, or the region of Ross in Northern Scotland, Roos in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and Roose in the county of Lancashire...

My ancestors originated in Rots, Normandy, France which was then called Ros. They arrived in England with Wiilliam the Conquerer and had many estates in and around Kent. They were given land in Halkhead, Scotland just outside of Glasgow. There were 14 Lord Ross of Halkhead. The 6th Lord of Halkhead was Sir James Ross (m) Margaret Scott. Among their children they had a son Robert Ross (Jonet Coleine). Their son Thomas Ross fought in the Battle of Dunbar and was taken prisoner. He was sent to America in 1650/51 aboard the ship "Utility" and became an indentured servant to Edward Winship in what is now Charlestown,Ma.

my great grandmother's maiden name was Ross (she came over from Ireland) and settled in Canada then moved to the U.S. My family is very proud of our ancestry and always try to find out our history. We have a few pictures of the Ross castle,, which are apparently our ancestors (my uncle many years ago did some family digging and found this out). We would love to see if there are any Ross family. people in Ireland (or anywhere else) and hear more history.

(Part 1 of 3) The Ross name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. The Ross story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup C] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Ross surname origin is possibly from the Dรกirine [R1b-L513] who found the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, Wales around 300 CE.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Kingdom of Brycheiniog will take part in an invasion of Brittany, France around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Ross story begins in pre-history Ireland but this descendant will then move to Wales where the family can be traced back to their Welsh tribe Cydifor Fawr. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 3 of 3) Discover their newly found untold story and how forgotten texts bring their story back to life. From the ebook, โThe Tribe Withinโ learn how DNA unfolds this amazing tale and if you look in the right places, how history narrates this evidence. There is another written account of their story, but it is camouflaged in smoke and myth โ it will become the tales of King Arthur.

Our great grandmfather Robert Ross left Ireland arriving in Canada between his birth 1800 and his marriage 1831. He / They settled in a small quebec community called St Dunstan / Lac Beauport as shown on his marriage church record entry to Jane McCotter. The moved from Quebec to Chatsworth Ontario Canada then to Toronto where they settled.I remember as a very young lad having profound but confused feeling of our ancestry and have always thought I would one day like to search of our history. I have no images, stories, recollections or closet skeletons save for one Canadian 1861 Census indicating Robert was born in Ireland and Ancestry DNA results.
?My Ancestry DNA indicates I have matches in Portrush, Limavady, Coleraine, Larne, Lisburn, Dublin, Wicklow, and in a place 3 km West of Eyrecourt left off R356 1.18 km .... hahaha. So... whoever it may be possibly lives in one of the three farms on the corner. I would love to hear from any Ross or (O'Doherty families. Roberts sister Margaret married a Thomas O'Doherty) relatives.
