Hello Mr. Ayars,
I notice that several genealogical websites are now identifying the wife of
Godred Crovan Haraldson and mother of Olaf (Bitling) the Red Godredson as
(RAGNHILD) MARIA, daughter of Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, and Ellisif
of Kiev. The sources I can identify seem to be Tom Bjornstad (Norway) and
C. V. G. Young (Isle of Man). I wonder if you have an opinion about this
connection. Of all the genealogical websites I visit, yours is certainly the
best documented; I would very much value your opinion in this matter.
I am a descendant of Marion MacLeod, daughter of William MacLeod I of
Feorlig, who appears in your website.
Thanking you in advance for your response.
John
