I am currently searching for multiple inforformation. I am looking for clan tartans, coat of arms, or clans the above families may have allied themselves to a particular clans. I know that the Tansey family hailes from Sligo, Ballymote, and that the Kerns hail from county Mayo. I have no clue where to start with the Deffley and Summers families. Any information provided would be most helpful.
