I think, Joao, that you were visiting a site that was into Anglo-Israelitism (also know as British-Israelitism). Did the site mention Herbert W. Armstrong or the WorldWide Church of God? The Mormons are into this too.
 
The genealogies are fictional. It's religious rubbish of the worst sort. It began as something made out of whole cloth and was then continued by gullible wishful-thinkers, who took it uncritically and reproduced it as gospel.
 
No genealogy can be built back much beyond Charlemagne, and even here, you have to go on the word of the documents. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool or a liar, or both.

I was seeing a site about genealogy and it's listed the genealogy of Irish kings, beginning with Noah. The Book of Coquest obviously has a very strong Christian superstratum, but is the "fusion" process well known?
Why does the linneage pass through Crete, Goths, Scythia and Spain?
Where is the IE base behind it?
What's the meaning of names like Eber, Niul, Gaedhal, etc.
