Section 1. General
A true story from Ireland
There was once a Smyth, whose eighteenth-century house, Glananea, in County Westmeath - Ireland, had such a flamboyant triumphal arch and gates at the entrance to his demesne that he became known as "Smyth o' the Gates".

A later descendant, growing weary and annoyed with this hereditary tag, sold the arch and the gates to a neighbour - whereupon the family was immediately dubbed "Smyth wid'out the Gates".

CAVEAT
As is the nature of the Internet, a number of links used in the "Family Vault" - like our ancestors - have gone. Sometimes, by using a reputable web-search engine and a phrase (set between inverted commas) from the quoted material on this site can retieve it - either from cache or from its new location.
It has also been found that some link destinations have been cyber-jacked and replaced or diverted to pages of questionable repute. The link was correct at the time of research/writing. If you are as indignant as we are then please file a complaint with the original link host - and let this site know so that the link may be expunged.
