After considerable research, the following is our best possible proposed lineage. These generational connections are supported by accepted documentation and, when formal documentation is missing, we have suggested the most probable parent/child relationships based on chronology and historically proven facts & dates. If anyone can CLEARLY refute these claims with ROCK SOLID 'AUTHENTIC' EVIDENCE/DOCUMENTS, you are invited to contacr Mr. Supernaw and/or Mr. Caulley. Otherwise, this lineage will 'stand' as our most learned proposal
The following is the research work of Mr. William Supernaw. He and I did not "hit it off" at first, but I have found his research has proven true and accurate, and I feel ALL Kirkpatrick researchers should be able to benefit from his work. Below, I have posted his original line from Sir Roger Kirkpatrick to Charlemagne, and his addition which goes further back to Flavius Afranius Syragrius the Roman Senator (born ca. 390). I have added the links to Wilipedia, and marked the pages that do not have complete documentation.
