Re: Origin of Eager

In addition to County Kerry (Where my ancestors came from) I also found a coat of arms from England (Besides ours from Kerry). And I talked to one guy whose Eager originated in Checkslavokia. But like the Yeagers of Germany, that was a misnaming as they entered the coutnry as well. They came from an area around the "Eager" mountain or some such.

Also, note that the spellings Eager and Eagar were NOT mistakes in entering the country. The family had arguements over the spelling in Ireland before they came over! My branch started as Eager, changed to Eagar, and back to Eager before coming over!
