Does anyone have any idea where the name could of originated from? ALSO I have traced my family as far back as 1800 as being in India, but who was the first Fitzgerald to go to India, remains a mystery! Harold Fitzgerald appears in 1820 with his wife Eliza as Indigo Planters in Bihar India. Any info would be very much appreciated Many thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
