Who In The World I am
”Who so ever asks me of my birth…
I will tell them I am born of Irish Princes who ruled in Donegal a thousand years ago; that I am descended from the High Kings of Ireland, and my name is from the Clann ÓDochartaigh!”

While searching for the Daugherty family name and found information following the fathers of each generation. This is just the direct line from my mother’s father Denis, but if you start with the link for rootsweb under Lazarus’ name, you’ll see this is a very large family. Some men fathered as many as 17 children!
The first listing is for Sir Cahir O’Dochartaigh along with a link to the wiki with a brief history about him. Who knew we had a knight in the family? And, also accused of treason!
