As we are probably all now aware, the Brabazon Clan is not homogenous but rather a mosaic of smaller genetic groupings, sometimes explicable by descent via a Brabazon female line, sometimes due to the adoption of the Brabazon name for various known or unknown reasons. By casting the discussion network as wide as possible perhaps we can begin to shed more light on each of the sub-lineages of the Clan - worldwide brainstorming, so to speak!

The Earl and Countess of Meath remain the standard bearers of the Brabazon name, and I think we would all agree that we have an excellent family at the very heart of the Brabazon Clan. Across the spectrum of our Family we are a good microcosm of Irishness in all its cultural forms and our cohesiveness in diversity is perhaps the best testimony to the greatness of our ancestors. So start blogging and let's see where it goes!

BRABAZON HOUSE, SWINFORD, Co MAYO

BRABAZON HOUSE,  SWINFORD, Co MAYO – ANCESTRAL HOME OF THE BRABAZONS OF BRABAZON PARK
Built by George Brabazon in the 1770s, this picture shows his son Sir Anthony with some members of the family.  The house was vacated by Gen John Brabazon in the late 1800s and later used as an agricultural college for young ladies.  It was demolished in the 1980s.
