McCormack Family Crest

Beautifully arranged in this parchment and created by Edmond McGrath (RIP) in the 1970s and only rediscovered after 40 years in safe storage, we bring you a very special illustration that encompasses symbols of your Irish tribal heritage. The owner of this name is by definition a child of Ireland in culture and in blood!

On this A1 (23.4 x 33.1 inch) sized parchment, your special Irish Coat of Arms is deservedly embellished by all the many ancient Celtic inspirations of Irish artists, scholars and architects. At the centre you see the backdrop of the Kerry landscape with her scenic Killarney lakes, whilst other bordering elements are the craftsmanship of sculptors and builders who managed to create works of art with the most basic of tools. With this parchment you will see your family name as an integral part of the Irish story which will forever remain an integral part of Irish heritage.

This parchment can be an heirloom for many generations yet to come as your family thrive into the future making their own mark on history as your ancestors did. Your unique Irish family Coat of Arms is a wonderful creative reminder that your name has an Irish tribal identity with its origin, derivatives and impact on the culture of Ireland and worldwide. All of this written in Celtic calligraphy. The design inspiration is about Ireland’s story and how your family have made a mark on Ireland history.

The McCormac Coat Of Arms Story

Read the intriguing transcription of the text illustrated on the McCormack family history parchment:

The name came into existence comparatively late in genealogical time. It is derived from the popular Gaelic Christian name, Cormac, or Charles in English, and arose from sons adopting their father’s Christian name and adding the prefix ‘Mac’ meaning ‘son of’, henceforth stilling themselves and subsequent generations, Mac Cormaic. In Elizabethan times the McCormacks were recorded among the leading Gentry in County Cork, and the MacKerry branch was raised in the large army for the Desmonds during this period. The annals refer to several prominent McCormacks in Fermanagh during the middle ages, and the present-day McCormacks of Armagh possibly stem from these. In time, and due to mis-spelling the name has become changed and often appears as McCormick. Two outstanding nineteenth-century physicians bore this name. Belfast doctor, Henry McCormack, born in 1800, reputedly spoke twenty languages and was one of the first men to recommend fresh air treatment for tuberculosis. His son, Willian, was president of the Royal College of Surgeons and was knighted in 1881. He wrote extensively on medicine and on his war experiences both as a consulting surgeon in the Boer War and as an ambulance man in the Franco- Prussian War. Robert McCormark, whose eventful life spanned ninety years of the last century, is best remembered as an Arctic navigator. The man who has popularised this name in America is John Count McCormack, a famous tenor, and singer of Irish folksongs and Ballads. He died at the end of the second world war.

I have a bit of history of my maternal Irish family and the coat of arms crest will enhance it. I am placing it in a float frame and will proudly display it on the wall. It arrived in perfect shape and I am pleased with the quality and the entire process of ordering. When I need something Irish, I will go to your website again. Thank you Aidan, and I wish you success in your business!
