[CaughtYouTrollin]

[jeremiahhuffman]

Omg i got most of these coat of arms in a scrap book i got from my grandpa William Butler, so cool! He was a green Beret in World War 2 and came home to be a successful photograph and had one of the few small advertising companies to win an Addy Award.

Thanks for your research and this video, I'm a butler and after a recent DNA test have started tracing the roots back to Ireland.

[zcar]

This is my ancestry. I have an old hand written family tree with the Butlers of Ormond lineage.

[jennifersmith]

I'm a descendant of Col Richard Butler. I'm always looking for more information on my family history and enjoy meeting other relatives. Great video and very informative!

[danielbutler]

Great job. I’m huge on Butler family history but had never heard of the Butler Revolt! Well played

[therapparee]

I'm glad you mentioned that tenants took the name Butler, bit of nuance is great when talking about surname origins in Ireland. The intersection of Norman and Gaelic attitudes to family/tribe is an interesting topic! Gaelic tenants may have taken the surname of their new 'overlord' (like they would their former Gaelic lord). Not that the nuclear family really existed at the time. Family was clan orientated, however the Normans were introducing English/continental style feudalism at the time(must have been very confusing for the ordinary people). The Butler's like other Anglo-Norman notable families would eventually embrace Irish and Gaelic culture wholesale however(different economic relations though).

I’m a Butler, but I’ve got to trace my family tree back farther. I’ve only gotten back to the civil war, so I don’t know when and who brought us to America

[ruadhbutler]

Fantastic video! So says this Cloughgrenan Butler! Interesting side note on Sir Edmund's escape from Dublin Castle in 1569/70 with Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne's help - Edmund subsequently had an affair with Fiach's wife, resulting in the birth of Sir Thomas Butler, 1st Baronet of Cloughgrenan. Gratitude, eh?!

[SallySturman]

My maiden name is Butler, but as my late Dad was orphaned aged 8 and then adopted (keeping his Butler surname), little is known about our ancestry on his side of the family. My Dad used to say his family tree was more like a bramble bush 😄
This video was very interesting and informative, thank you.

[MrSinclairn]

Should have explicitly pointed out that Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormond's dau. Margaret was mother of Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire & Ormond, who was Queen Elizabeth I's maternal grandfather. 👌👍

[Oaronuviss]

Love your videos. Always interesting!! Looking forward to others!
Love from Canada! From a son of Scots!

[rhondamorton]

I’ve been enjoying your YouTube videos they are full of interesting and useful information. Thanks! (I am a descendant from Butler Clan to some degree because I have some Butler ancestors incorporated throughout both maternal and paternal lineage.😊

[Nobodyfromnowhere]

You've done it again, great upload your work is grand ..I really enjoyed that one . 💯☘️👌

[Iamtheshortestcomment]

My grandmother’s father (I believe he was the son of James Butler 3rd Marquess of Ordmonde and his wife was lady Elizabeth Harriet Grosnevor ), and was the rightful heir to the marquessate of Ordmonde, as well as the duchy of Westminster and the earldom of Ossory instead the marquessate of Ordmonde went to Arthur Butler who sold it off to the irish government in the 1960’s, and the duchy passed on into somebody else in the family, the earldom of ossory still exists I believe, with Thomas Butler- although I doubt he exists, I didn’t get that from the most reputable source.

I was raised on 17th Richard Butler Viscount Mountgarret Estate in Nidd Village, in North Yorkshire . When my parents moved to Nidd, Nidd Hall the family seat had servants !! I have just learnt of a Butler Dynasty !! I never knew. Goodness me ... I grew up with these people... !!
