Hi HH,
I found a third SankRti listed as "sAnkRti Atreya" in the Mahabharata!
The book I have is titled "Sandhyavandanam" and published by Giri trading, Chennai. (http://www.giritrading.com)
The lists of gotra in there are taken from a book called the "Dharma Sindhu".
It lists all the 3 sankRti gotra/pravarams under the bhAradvAja section. Which I assume is a sub-section of the kevala Agirasas.
More info on the kevala Angirasa sankRti :-
The Srimad Bhagavatam states that one vidAthin belonging to the bhAradvAja family was adopted by Maharaja Bharata son of dushyanta/sankuntala.
This vidAthin's descendents were:
vitatha
bhuvamanyu(bhumanyu)
Nara
<b>SankRti</b>
SankRti had 2 sons gurudhI and rantideva. rantideva is of course the famous Kshatriya king mentioned in many puranic stories.
Their descendents were converted into brahmanas.
