Early Comerfords

And I suppose we should also include Baldric le Teuton, who the more... sexed-up genealogies would have as a much earlier ancestor:

* Balderic the Teuton, 1st Lord of Bacqueville

Interestingly, the DNA could throw some light on this (I'm going to start another thread on DNA testing). The possibility that Comerford Y DNA goes back through the Salian Franks might fit with a man going by the name of "le Teuton", but Baldric's sons are also said to be the start of such prestigious families as the Nevilles, Baskervilles and Dandos and I don't know of any evidence to support this. However, it is a testable hypothesis.

An interesting one unconnected to other Comerfords back in the 1500s:

* Elisabeth de Comerford

This is one of the heads of the Comerord family in Cork:

John Comerford, of Cork

Another Comerford that comes up in an isolated clump adjacent to better known posh families, this from the mid to late 1600s:

* Michael Comerford

Another Comerford to marry into the Butler's in the 1500s, but nothing much more is known about his:

Thomas Comerford

Another Butler-adjacent Comerford, although doubt has been cast on his existence:

* Luke Comerford
