How D'ye Spell That?
Welcome to the Cyberhome of the Prendivilles...or the Prendevilles...or the Prendervilles...or the Prindivilles...or the Prendables...or whatever the hell we're called! This clan of Norman descent appears to have acquired an inability on how to agree on the spelling of its surname. And not only that, but I reckon only a handful of people (not being one of our bewildered bunch) have ever spelt my name correctly without being coached by me, ergo the name of this page. Sometimes I've considered changing my name of Smith (or Smyth)...:-). But, shur, no matter, as they say in Ireland!
Even though I've been a member of the clan for over 30 years now, I know little enough about the origins of the name(s), but I intend to use this page as a forum for other members of the clan to display their knowledge (and to increase mine!).
Here's a
photograph taken in 1997 by Bob Estus, in Christchurch, New
Zealand. Seems as if one of my ancestors was intent in carving
out a career for himself...
Click here
to see photographs of key Prendiville sites and other items of
interest around my hometown of Castleisland, Co. Kerry. If any of
your ancestors came from Castleisland, perhaps I can take some
photographs of your cherished sites and display
them on this page.. If you're interested, e-mail me . Any family photographs will also be
gratefully accepted and will be proudly displayed in 
.
Meanwhile, Christi
Malone has some very interesting family history to impart right
here 
.
And I have
transcribed a short biography of one of my own illustrious
ancestors for your information. Click 
, and please let me know
if you find any typos...:-)
If you want me to carry a link to your e-mail address or your home page, you only have to ask. I'll be more than willing to link to you...! I'd be especially interested if you'd let me have a graphic image of yourself/selves, just so that I can put a face to the name...
