The actual surname in Ireland was FitzGerald. I don't know why it was changed for sure. My Dad (Thomas John Kildare) Gene's Cousin, said it was because of IRA conncetions in Ireland. They changed it to get away from the British. Don't know for sure, but that is what his cousin's in Ireland told him, when he visited there in 1969.
btw...sad not...Gene Kildare passed away a year or so ago.
