Is anyone undertaking work on the de Keppoc (Keppocks, Cappock, Cappy, Keappock etc as the name evolved as as written down by the English scribes) family. they were a notable Norman family who settled in Ireland shortly after the time of William the Conqueror. Before the end of the 13th century Keppok (Cappoge) were established on Castleknock lands (either by a direct grant from the Crown or by becoming tenants of the Tyrells). ?the Family settled in Louth and prospered until the time of the Cromwellian land seizure in that County.

It is stated (www.logainm.ie/en 33537) that Geoffrey de Keppok was a son of a french magnate Geoffrey de Lusignan (23/5/1199 - 1274) who's granted land in louth by his half brother Henry III. Perhaps Geoffrey de Lusigan's mother may have been a french noble. Perhaps Geoffrey e Keppok was an illegitimate son?

Can anyone help? Is anyone interested in following upon this research. If so my email address is patricia.smith9@optusnet.com.au)

Thanks
