In reply to the discussion: so, can someone w access to irish records do a search for me? [View all]Irish_Dem
(60,851 posts)34. The given names have to persist in the Irish naming tradition.
As I mentioned they had to name the kids after the grandparents, uncles and aunts.
This really helps with Irish genealogy. We can tell the grandparent names by what the kids are named and their birth order.
My brother is a first male and is named after paternal grandfather.
My father was a first male as well and so we knew what the name of his grandfather had to be.
Second male child is named after mother's father. So then you can look for that name when searching records.
