Barbara in Sacramento and David, I am just now going through some old messages and came across your query about the surname Kirkpatrick. I am trying to find the answer to that question too. I don't have the answer yet but did come across this website that gives other surnames in Ireland. Unfortunately, they don't have any info on Kirkpatricks but they are updating constantly and I was able to find other surnames in there. I am sending this link to you incase you have other surnames to search for or are interested in doing a Kirkpatrick search every once in a while. Once in the site click on "What's in a name." http://www.irish-times.com/ancestor/index.html Hope this helps some.
