Our Erwin Roots by Donald D. Erwin

At the start of the 3rd century AD, bands of Dalriatic Irish started raiding the region that might be Strathclyde in Western Scotland, that was over the North Funnel from Ulster . The first attacks were purely predatory, but with time pay outs were established which led to a gradual inter-interacting from the cultures from the Irish and also the native Celtic and Pictish tribes. Based on ancient Irving/Irvine family traditions in Scotland, the first Erinvine/Eryvine family roots return to the Irveni tribe with what has become Ulster in Northern Ireland. Among the Irveni was Niall Noigialach. Niall would be a ?¡ãHigh King' who resided throughout the late 300s and early 400s, and it is regarded as the progenitor in our family. Throughout his active years he earned frequent marauding expeditions into Scotland. Niall died in 406 AD, but his descendants in Scotland were the Duncans (Eryvines).
