Hi Sharon, As a descendant of the Carrigoran FitzGeralds buried in Kilnasoolagh I have to tell you that another descendant is at present trying to connect the Carrigoran Fitzgeralds with the Knight of Glin but hasn't yet succeeded in doing so. (She is convinced that there is a connection and that she will find it...) Many many years ago a gentleman by the name of Eoghan O'Mahony who was an expert in the family history of just about everybody in Ireland told my mother (Geraldine FitzGerald) on a radio prgramme produced by Radio Eireann called Meet the Clans that the Carrigoran Fitzgeralds were descended from the White Knight, a senior branch but no longer in existence. There was also another branch, the Knight of Kerry. I have no idea who is right. My personal brick wall is Edward FitzGerald of Rineanna (born about 1627).
