Thank you, Nicola - that will definitely add to my knowledge of Fitzgerald in Clare. You know, 1627 is not a bad year as a starting point for your family history. The Donnellan chart which I have from the Genealogical Office (Dublin) goes back into the 1500s but I have to take it as truth, without a way to confirm the details back that far.
