Irish Like Me: The Fitzgeralds

Irish Like Me: The Fitzgeralds is a must-have for people with Irish ancestors with the surname of Fitzgerald. The first part of this book begins in the earliest of times and ends with the emergence of the Fitzgeralds of Ireland. Maurice Fitz Gerald was one of the leaders of the Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169 and the reputed progenitor of the Fitzgeralds of Ireland. His wife was Alice de Montgomery. You will be introduced to Maurice and Alice’s ancestors, who may be your ancestors too. The second part of this book is about some of my Fitzgeralds who came to America from Ireland, a story tethered together through traditional genealogical research and DNA analysis. If you have immigrant Fitzgerald ancestors who settled in Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, or Wisconsin, you may find their story between these pages. The third part of the book identifies the children and grandchildren of these immigrants and provides an overview of their lives. About the author.
