This page shows the line of Brath to Adam.
"Brath: was born in Gothia. Remembering the Druid predictions, an d hispeople having increased considerably during their abode in Getulia, hedeparted thence with a numerous fleet, to seek out the country destinedfor their final settlement by the prophecy of Cachear. After some time helanded on the coast of Spain, and by the strong hand settled himself andhis colony in Galicia, in the north of that country. "


At John Kinsella's web page he says:
"Genealogy was extremely important to all the free classes in ancientIreland because social standing was determined by hereditary right.

In this listing of the Kinsella genealogy, the first thirty fivegenerations, which include biblical names and the names of the Gaels (thename the Irish give to the first Celtic invaders of Ireland) thatwandered all over the Mediterranean Sea are purely the invention ofenthusiastic monks that were trying to make Irish genealogy agree withbiblical information.

The story of the landing in Ireland around 1800 BC as recorded in the"Book of Invasions" is considered mythology, similar to that of the Greekand Roman ancestor myths.

The next fifty odd generations after the Milesians are likewiseconsidered to be mythological, although it is conceded that theactivities of these people in some cases may refer to actual historicalevents.

All the leading families in Ireland trace themselves back to one of thefour Milesian chieftains that supposedly were leaders of the first Celticinvasion of Ireland. Douglas Hyde in his, "A Literary History of Ireland"concludes that the long list of descendants from these chieftains shouldbe discarded until we reach names of people that lived in the third orfourth century A.D. It is at this time that most of the noble genealogiesconverge. He believes that genealogy lists after this point in timeshould be considered to be authentic.

Hyde goes on to state that there is one family line that appears to bemuch older than the reSt He says that the most ancient of all Irishpedigrees is the line of Leinster Kings which goes back to around 300B.C., at which point it joins the "artificial" list of names that leadsback to the Milesians. It is from this line that the Kinsellas descend. "
