| FORDE FAMILY CREST |
| The name Forde in Ireland could be of immigrant origin having been brought to the country by Brit oppressors, especially during the seventeenth century. Most Gaeilge Septs were forced by the Brits through the Church to use the anglicized form of their name including the MacGiollarn�th Clan of County Mayo. Today Gaeilge is a language of the EU and Irish names are everywhere. |
