Falffie History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsEarly Origins of the Falffie familyThe surname Falffie was first found in Kerry (Irish:Ciarraí) part of the former County Desmond (14th-17th centuries), located in Southwestern Ireland, in Munster province, where they held a family seat as the Lords of Corcaguiney. Irish history was greatly influenced by the Norman invasion of 1172, and thereafter, the surnames of Irish Gaelic clanns and septs and many of the Norman families became almost indistinguishable. This family name was found later in Clare and in Cork. Early History of the Falffie familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Falffie research.
