The name was changed here in the Us. His parents were John Gaynard and Mary Munnely. I viseted Ireland last year and there are still some Gaynard's in Co mayo. They told me the name is spelled Gaynard but pronounced Ganyard. What was the first name of your Grand Father? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
