Good question, I just know she came from Belfast, along with her siblings, who settled in Saskatchewan .

No one has ever been able to prove whether my surname is Irish or Scottish... It's very unusual and hard for most folks to pronounce correctly on the first try... But it has proven to be untraceable thus far.
So my ancestors were either illiterate and screwed up the spelling, or someone was fleeing a warrant... Likely both. Lol

Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick That is one of the best Irish jokes ever! I am Russian/Polish. We celebrate with the Irish whisky and beer and corned beef and cabbage.
