Research notes
JOAN FitzGERALD, daughter of John FitzThomas, 1st Earl of KILDARE (I99832, already in the tree); wife of Edmund Butler Earl of Carrick; mother of James 1st Earl of Ormond (our line). This rung LOOPS the Butlers onto the existing Kildare Geraldines. Standard well-documented medieval genealogy per the cited authorities; contested rungs note-only, not hardened.
