Welcome to the Griffin Clan
WELCOME
to the Official Griffin (Griffin) Clan Website ! "This Website was formed to
promote the interests of all Griffin,and other fine families who are descended
from our progenitor,
They were seated at
Ballygriffey castle, Dysart Parish, close to Ennis in Clare.
Another family of the name was centered in Co. Kerry, at Ballygriffin, in the
barony of Glanarought. There is also the place name of Ballygriffin in Coshma
barony in Co. Limerick. The Limerick family may stem from either of these two
families, we do not know.
In the 17th century O'Griffen was a principal name of Cork and in Kerry.
O'Griffin is also found in Cork, and Griffin in Limerick and Westmeath.
Many Griffin (Griffin) have never had contact with a branch of the
association, and have little idea of our proud heritage, or how we share it
amongst one another. Members of the Clan Griffin (Griffin) Association learn
of this heritage, and celebrate it in their lives.
Most association members only come together a handful of times each year, at
a myriad of events, such as Irish Fairs, Scottish highland games, festivals,
picnics and banquets. It cannot be stressed enough that the Clan Griffin
(Griffin) Association is not simply a group of individuals "stuck in the past."
One of the association's primary goals worldwide is to find a place for our
culture in both the present and the future. Whether by embracing the music of
our ancestral homeland, preserving the writings and lore of our forefathers, or
celebrating our Irish heritage, we are actively making a difference for the
future.
Simply by visiting our website, you have expressed at the very least a
"glimmer" of interest in your heritage - why not take the next step and join
the association? It's free if you have any doubts about doing so, you might
consider reaching out to a fellow Griffin (Griffin) on the website and asking
him or her to share their experiences. You'll find that many of your kinsfolk
here on the Net share that same burning curiosity regarding their heritage -
which of course is what the association is really all about...
The association has a member secure website where you can associate online
with your fellow kinsfolk, a place you can chat online with other members or do
your genealogy read about your full clan history or simply get some great
recipes to share with family and friends.
The site has many features you can access, to get these great benefits all you
have do is send an email to our Chief of the Clan at the email form located at
the very bottom of this website.
If you have any information about the Griffin Family or you are a Griffin,
don't hesitate to Email me and tell me a bit about your family. |

The Association Just what types of individuals join the Clan Griffin
(Griffin) Association? Primarily those interested in either their genealogy, or
those seeking out the significance of their surname. These people come from all
walks of life, and have many varied interests, yet whether carpenter, doctor,
police officer, or farmer, they all share one thing - an overwhelming desire to
associate with their Irish descended kinsfolk.
The association welcomes those who have a desire of belonging to one of
greatest clans from Ireland. The family may be of several origins, including
Irish, British or Welsh. "Griffiths" is a popular name in England, and has been
found as Griffin on occasion in Ireland. Settlers of the name arrived in the
wake of the Norman invasions from Wales, and no doubt thereafter.
Of the native Irish of the name, they may hail originally from Co. Clare or
Kerry. Ballygriffy, in the barony of Inchiquin, Co. Clare, marks the origins of
the Thomand family, which spread into adjoining counties. |
