| Summary: | Genealogy made for an Irish emigré, presumably serving in the French Army. The genealoger (and probably the scribe) names himself as Thaddeus O'Dinnin of Munster and he certifies that the genealogy is the true record drawn from the ancient Royal archives. His genealogy, repeated in each language, works backwards from Marian O'Cruoly, through 106 generations far back into antiquity, with Anno mundi dates often provided. Marian O'Cruoly of Cork was one of the many Irishmen who sought his fortune in the armies of France. |
