Betty and others with similar questions. . . One of the best approaches is to try to find where the spelling departed from what is considered nearly standard for the Geraldines. If it happened in this country, there is probably a reason for it: strong brogue, religious difference, lack of ease with the English language as opposed to Irish Gaelic, etc. As our very good friend in Tipperary said, "They could spell in the Irish, but not in the English!" "Keep 'em dumb (illiterate) and down on the farm, and they won't bother anyone" seems to have been a frequent plan of the landowners or their agents. As one of the family said in print a few years back, he had met a Priest and a wedding in the US, introduced himself, and the Priest nodded and said, "It wasn't too long ago that there were so many FitzGeralds being hung from trees (for anti-English activity) that people thought it was the name of a fruit." Sure when the whole country knew one name group was in deep trouble from those in control of the economy and the government, they looked for any means of taking cover for security. Change the name, change the spelling, change the pronunciation, all will help, because it is my impression that some people take pride in "not being able to pronounce anything but an English name correctly". I had a boss like that back in 1951.

For those who are not subscribers to the Fitzgerald List on Roots Web, and to those who are subscribers, this bit of data which may be used to fill a bit of space in the family history you are compiling. Chuck FitzGerald THE CROSS OF ST. PATRICK AND FITZ GERALD After seven centuries the proud feudal arms of most early Norman nobles survive only as quarterings in modern shields, or in the heraldry of a few cities and towns. Now, however, we turn to an emblem which, while of small account among its 13th century contemporaries, has become a part of a national flag. The most notable memorial of the Anglo-Norman ( rect. Cambro-Norman ) settlement in Ireland is the Irish national banner, the red saltire upon white which tradition associates with St. Patrick. Unfortunately for tradition, St. Patrick had no more to do with the Cross of St. Patrick than the South Saxons had to do with the swallows of Sussex. The cross clearly originated in the arms of one of the greatest Irish feudal families, the Fitz Geralds, who bore a red saltire on silver. In 1170, Maurice Fitz Gerald led an expedition to Ireland to help McMurrough, King of Leinster, against OConnor, who claimed to be King of Ireland. This Fitz Geralds descendants became Earls of Kildare and of Desmond, all leading spirits in Irish affairs, whether as Lords Deputy or agin t.he Government. The arms of Fitz Geralds were so intimately connected with great events in Irish history that they came to be regarded as national insignia, and associated with the national saint. And six and a half centuries after the Fitz Gerald saltire left England (rect. Wales) to seek its fortune in Ireland, it returned, canonised, to take its place in the Union Jack. --C. Wilfrid Scott-Giles, O.B.E., Fitzalan Pursuivant of Arms Extraordinary - The Romance of Heraldry, pp. 67-68.

Hello listers. Here is a wonderful site run by a fellow named Drew. If you search around on his web page you will come across Ireland ie, non Scottish records etc. Please sign his guest book as I think his work is wonderful. It may help you in other searches too around Britian. http://members.aol.com/drewhss/drew.htm/index.html If you cannot get this site I can find out his email address, as he once helped me out with a problem. I'm still looking for the directory site that I posted yesterday about. Sincerely, Shannon in Canada

Hello Mary, I saw you note about Agnes FitzGerald in Accomack County VA. I have been looking for Thomas FitzGerald b ca 1812 VA and died ca 1862. He married Margaret HOPKINS (born April 06, 1822 in VA and died June 05, 1903 in Onancock, Accomack County, VA) on December 28, 1837 in Accomack County, VA. Your spelling of FitzGerald with the capital G appears in my records. Do have any information about Thomas in your records? I have never been able to find his roots. Any information would be appreciated.
