Graver / Family History

The name Graver in Ireland is often derived from the native Gaelic O'Griobhthain sept who also anglicized their name as Grieves, Greeves and Graves. In modern times most families of Graver arrived into Ulster Province as settlers from England and Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century.

A Sept is an ancient form of a Clan and is a group of people whose ancestors all bore the same surname and inhabited the same locality.
