My ancestors bearing the name of Fanning, sometimes spelled as de Frainet 'from the Frainet area of France aka the Nice area of the French Riveria', Feynant, Fainent or O'Fionain have lived in this area for hundreds of years, we are of Norman descent. The name Feynant was both native Irish Gaelic and Norman, O'Fionain seems to be derived from the Gaelic word 'fionn' and has been Anglicized as 'Finan' and 'Fanning'. de Frainet was an alternate name for Fanning, they brought the remains of St Nicolas back from Greece, the Fannings were part of the Varangian Guard who guarded the Emperor. "A French family, the de Frainets, who removed Nicholas' remains from Myra to Bari, Italy, in 1169 when Bari was under the Normans. The de Frainets were 'Viking' Knight Templar Crusaders to the Holy Land and also owned land in Thomastown, Ireland. After the Normans were forced out of Bari, the de Frainets moved to Nice, France, taking the relics with them. When the Normans lost power in France, Nicholas de Frainet moved to Ireland. This story has the relics being buried in Jerpoint in 1200 AD." The Fanning family were large land owners in the area, they were right hand men of the Butlers. My family had all its land taken away when Cromwell arrived, they left this area around 1760 and went to Nova Scotia Canada. My name is Richard Fanning Snowdon and I live in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. This is a good video and the people did a great job in restoring the home and helping to preserve the history of the area.

Hello Richard! My family, the "Crusader Knights" Denn's of Grennan Castle may have helped your family with St Nicholas's bones. The tale is: "A band of Irish-Norman knights from Jerpoint, traveling to the Holy Land took part in the Crusades. One was known as Denn, the 'Dayne' and the other was Nicholas de Freynit, whose surname eventually became Freyney. On their return to Ireland they brought St Nicholas' remains to Kilkenny where the bones were buried. The details of if they were seized or came “with the blessing of Rome” are up for debate." I've no idea if our families intermarried but anything you'd like to share with me would be awesome! Btw, I've a genealogy page on Facebook called "The Denn's Denn, My Canterbury Uk to Salem New Jersey Ancestral House" which includes a few Dennys descended from Ireland as well. Cheers!
