Dear Friends,

 

I am writing from Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) and am fortunate to have come across this web site which was recently in a local newspaper.

 

Essentially, I am trying to both locate and confirm some geneological information about my Grandfather (Thomas Fitzgerald). I did some research and discovered that he was born on July 12th, 1880 in Castlegregoy (Maharees), County Kerry.  Oddly enough, I cannot find any reference to a "Castlegregory" Parish in Kerry. Maybe it is/was under a different name. Tom eventually moved to Galway City where my Dad (Patrick Joseph Fitzgerald) was born. I am also interested in determining whether or not Tom Fitz had siblings who moved to The States (specifically Philadelphia). We had heard that this was the case. Note as well that Tom married Sarah Smyth(e) - my grandmother - and they eventually setlled in Salthill (Galway City)..

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated... esp. about the Fitzgeralds in that part of Kerry and the Fitzgeralds (and Smythe's) in Galway.

 

Peace, Chris (Fitzgerald)
