Welcome! 
"Failte!"
...to the Curtin Clan Virtual Meeting Place!
Dear Members and Visitors:
This site is dedicated as a membership place and genealogical resource to all those interested in the Irish surname CURTIN and its many variations. The name we share today descends from two ancient lines with different backgrounds. The one represented by the coat of arms above, adopted as the symbol of our organization, is that of the ancient family of MacCruitin of Thomond, who served as ollaves, or bards, to the great O'Brien family.
The MacCruitin had their seat around present day Ennistymon, in County Clare. The other branch of the family is numerous in County Cork, and is also found in Counties Kerry and Limerick. Descendents of these ancient lines have mingled, and spread around the world, and many of them have brought credit and honor to the name.
The Clan Organization welcomes any and all historical or genealogical information as additions to our legacy. We invite you, and hope you will consider joining the Curtin Clan Organization and becoming an active member.
We depend on the annual dues, presently $30 US, to sustain our activities and research. If you are a Curtin (or any of the name's variations), or if you are married to or descended from a Curtin, we welcome you heartily.
Please visit with us a while, and if you decide to join, the application form may be downloaded from our Membership Page. Visit our registry and leave us any family history you have, so that we may try to connect you to your branch of the family.
Our Clan Genealogist, Margaret Curtain, has a cache of thousands of names in different lines of the name, and is very skilled in making connections. Have questions? Seeking information, we will do our best to try to help you. Leave your inquiry in our registry or contact Margaret on curtain@spiderweb.com.au
We sincerely hope you enjoy your visit!
