Origin of the Earliest Lindsays

The theories pertaining to the origin of the earliest Lindsays (how ever spelled) are many and have been noted over the years.  Some of these theories have more supporting documentary evidence than others.

Although the Lindsays of Scotland have left the better documented history, there is strong support for a "tribe" or kingdom of Lindseys that possibly existed in England's Lincolnshire, in the fourth, fifth or sixth centuries.

If you are aware of additional theories of origin of the Lindsays as a people, please e-mail the specifics to Ron Lindsay
