Description: A handy guide to a royal Irish clann.
Synopsis:
Since its inception in the 12th century, the Irish family of Caomhánach has regularly transformed itself in order to adapt to, and take advantage of, changes in its ancient homelands as well as opportunities in the New World. Extensive branches of the Clann can be found in America, Argentina, Australia, Britain, Canada, Europe and New Zealand. Through successive generations the family name has also been transformed, resulting in variations such as Kavanagh, Kavanaugh, Kavenagh, Kavenaugh, Cavanagh, Cavanaugh, Cavenagh, Cavenaugh, Cavanah and many others. The purpose of this book is to reunite the various strands under the Caomhánach banner and to illustrate the contributions the descendants of this royal family have made around the world.
Inside you will find :
- Images of arms associated with the Clann
- Time line of significant Clann events
- Directory of notable people around the world
- Directory of family place names around the world
- Directory of family related archives and library collections
- Directory of significant family related articles
- Directory of awards presented in honour of family members
Well organized, concise and informative. Comprehensive references to published materials are supported by an excellent selection of individual resumes and an extensive index of place and name associations. Although it is fun to read, perhaps the greatest benefit of this book will be realized as an aid in Caomhánach family history study, where it offers ready facts and sources.
