Dear Robert

We think the name Folliard originates from France, and there are a lot of Folliards in Orleans in France. Some of our desendents came over in an army led by General by the name of Humbart who came to the aide of the Irish Catholics who were having an uprising against the English. He won five battles and was defeated in the 6th, around the West of Ireland he is very famous and there is a Humbart Trail where you can follow his steps.

Regards
Brendan Folliard
