Fitzgerald is an Anglo Norman Irish name

The name simply means son of Gerald. Fitz means son of. When people took surnames about the 12th or 13th century, some who were sons of men named Gerald became Fitzgerald.

Now that shows you the origin of a name doesn't tell you very much. People who are involved with genealogy do not put too much importance in the origin and meaning of a name. The same name can come from many different nations.

The best thing to do is to trace your family. Anytime you wish to do this, there are a lot of people on this board that can give you a lot of good ideas and help. Just ask.

Answer 2

Sorry... no one can find your heritage by last names. Not how it works. In order to find YOUR ancestors, you need to look for specific persons... not last names. Not everyone with the same last name is going to be your relative.
Most of what you need to START with, is probably involving living persons, who you are not going to find online.
You know yourself. You know your parents. They (hopefully) know the exact names of THEIR parents. If grandma is Martha Binter..you want to know MARTHA BINTER'S parents. You need to look for an exact record about Martha, that shows who those persons were. The same is true for each of your ancestors.
The hardest thing we do here, is to try and shift new researchers from thinking in terms of names.. to thinking in terms of persons. Sit down with your parents, and write down the details of the persons you know, and what you know about them. You need at least an estimate of dates and places, in order to look in the right places for them and their ancestors.
www.rootsweb.com has a guide to beginning research.
We are happy to help show you where and how to find your ancestors.
