Kilkenny / Re: GRANT family in IVERK

I would like to try the DNA approach but my grandmother, Marie Grant, died in 1910 and so far I have been unable to locate living male descendants of her two brothers.  However, that does seem the best approach and I'll keep trying.

My great-great-grandfather Andrew Grant emigrated from Kilkenny to New York in 1849, along with his brother James.  They had probably lived at Killahy, based on Griffith's Valuation.  I haven't been able to trace them any further back, but have been reading about the origin of the Grant family in Kilkenny in Norman times, associated with the Geraldines.  I am interested in any source that confirms that the Grants descended from Milo fitz David fitz Gerald of Wales.

Does your research indicate that the GRANT family of Iverk were descended from Milo fitz David?  I have seen one source that says Yes and another that says No.
