I am writing a book and one Chapter will be on BRUCE. I copy below the sources I think are best. The biggest differences in these sources has to do with William Bruce who m. Christina. 3 sources have him the "brother" of Robert who m. Isobel (daug. of Wm. The Lion) and the Magna Carta Book has him the "son" of that Robert. Please reply with your judgement on this complete chart. Robert Bruce (magna Carta Book) and Robert Bruce by Scott, and Funk & Wagnall Encyclopedia (1996) were the combination of sources used for comparison of early generations in my book. A number below denotes descending generations. Ten generations are noted under the title THIS BOOK (by Jean Smallwood). Read columns downward.

Emma de Bretagne not St.Clair (2nd.gen.above)and had son Robert, d. 1141 (4th gen. above). Many of these list Lady Bruce. Some sources skip Adam Bruce (3rd. gen.)who m. Emma Ramsay,as does the Encyclopedia above. Latter Day Saints files list Robert m. Brittnay (1st gen) and record that he had son Adam. who m. Ramsay. For Robert Bruce(Signers of Magna Carta,1215)-see internet Clan Bruce www.tartans.com/clans/bruce.html See Source Chart for Lady Dame Beckwith Bruce. In the 3 sources above, only selected children are listed. Some early genealogies list only sons. Daughters were not always listed. Many later genealogies show Lady Dame Beckwith Bruce, the connection for this book. Thank you, Jean Smallwood (jeansm@aol.com)
