Gillimichael MacDuff 
Gillimichael was born about 1098 in Methil, Fifeshire, Scotland. Gillimichael's father is Duff MacEth and his mother is UNKNOWN ?. His paternal grandfather was Heth Ethelred of Fife and his paternal grandmother is Tul of Moray. He had a brother named Dufugan of. He was the younger of the two children. He died before July 1136 in Methil, Fifeshire, Scotland.General Notes
REFN: 7390AN
Gillemich(a)el MacDuff, Earl of Fife c1129, died c1133-36. [Burke's Peerag
e]
Note: Burke's Peerage has Gillemichael as son of the Earl of Fife, who th
ey call Edelrad (and I name Heth Aethelred), but with no explanation of wh
ere the "MacDuff" name comes from. I believe that sources in World Conne
ct are correct: Gillemichael is son of Duff MacEth, son of Heth/Eth Aethel
red/Edelrad.

EARLDOM OF FIFE
Gillemichel MacDuff, Earl of Fife, who, as "Gillemichel Makduff" (c), "Gil
lemichel Comes", and "Gillemichel, Comes De Fif" witnessed several charter
s. He appears to have rendered great service to the King, and it is not im
probable that the territorial Earldom became for the first time heredita
ry in him and his heirs. He d. before July 1136. [Complete Peerage V:372]
This is the first appearance of the name "Macduff". Gillemichel is sa
id to have descended from the traditional Macduff called Thane of Fife (th
ough there never were such Thanes) by whom Macbeth was overthrown in 1057.
