This is not necessarily on the subject but McKittrick and Dolan are both good names in Texas, Linda.  McKittrick Canyon in the Guadalupe Mountains is perhaps the most beautiful single place in Texas, particularly in late October when the autumn colors are ablaze and Dolan Falls on the Devil's River are in the top 100 most beautiful spots in Texas.  So Texas may not hold much of your history but  it has great places named for your kin.

Good morning/ afternoon from Texas,
I have a question for those of you in Ireland especially N Ireland. Can you
tell me if the name McKittrick is originally Scottish or Irish?  I have tried
looking at old records for the name in the Kildare area but can't find it
much. I can find it in N.Ireland.
I have a James McKittrick married to a Mary Butler (who's mother was a
Curley ). They married c 1820 -30. the family was RC but I don't know if
James was before the marriage.
Butler and Curley aren't hard to find in the Dublin/Kildare area but
mcKittrick was.
Any insight or help appreciated.
I was in Ireland in Sept '08 but the genealogists were on holiday also ! 
I'd come back in a minute if it were possible, I loved it there. I felt at
home and even driving wasn't so hard to do.  I was raised in SW Pa so the
surrounding country side was familiar and beautiful. I love Dingle and Dingle
bay.
Thanks for your time,
Linda Dolan
 
ps can't find my Dolan;'s either.
