Some weeks ago I applied to the Guild of One-Name Studies (GOONS) to register the Fitz-Henry/Fitzhenry names as a one-name study. That application has now been accepted and Fitz-Henry/Fitzhenry is now an official one name study.
For brevity, for the rest of this post I'll refer to the two surnames together as Fitz(-)henry.
What does that mean for any Fitz(-)henry researchers out there?
Well, firstly let me reassure you that it doesn't mean that only I can research the name now! On the contrary, with the backing and resources that the Guild provides, this now becomes a worldwide collaboration with official backing - I'm just acting as a facilitator. If anyone has Fitz(-)henry links and wishes to share them, please drop me a line on the comments section below. Click here to find out more about the GOONS.
And yes, the fabled Fitz(-)henry website (with the gestation of an elephant) is almost ready to roll...
Thanks for your comments on my Comerford Family History blog. I've enjoyed reading your blog too.
ReplyDeleteFitzHenry is a very well-known name in Co Wexford, and you may find it useful to take a longer look at their story.
