Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick and Chris Farinetti Interview, July 4, 1983
No full textMike “Fitz” Fitzpatrick and Chris Farnetti, smokejumpers in Alaska at a remote fire camp near Manley Hot Springs, describe their smokejumping experiences. Fitzpatrick recalls how and why he got started smokejumping and describes his rookie training. He offers his opinions how he thinks rookie training should be conducted, noting that the training seems to get a bit easier every year. Fitzpatrick talks about on-the-job experiences, including the frequency of bear sightings when jumping fires in Alaska. Fitzpatrick tells a story of encountering three large Kodiak bears after a jumping expedition, and having to climb on top of some abandoned buildings in order to escape. He and Chris Farinetti compare the smokejumper program in Alaska to the program in the lower 48 states. They note that individual bases in Alaska have more freedom to make decisions, whereas bases in the lower 48 are subject to tighter regional control. Fitzpatrick and Farinetti, as well as the other jumpers present during the interview, describe their concerns for the future of the smokejumper program if women are allowed to enter it. They talk about the likelihood that jumping standards will be lowered in order to accommodate women, who they feel are unlikely to have the physical strength to do the job. Smokejumpers Chuck Healam, Ron Rucker, Norm Baker, Scott Neilson, Shelby Rutledge, and Mike Durtschi participate occasionally throughout the interview.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/nicksundtsmokejumpers_oralhistory/1012/thumbnail.jp

When Everything Changes: Using Critical Family History to Deconstruct Keesing and Fitzpatrick Surnames
No full textDNA analysis has enabled a much deeper interrogation of our surnames, Keesing and Fitzpatrick, than was possible via traditional genealogical research. This can inform us regarding the potential ‘hidden’ complexities of some surnames. Through juxtaposing the narratives of our family histories and DNA findings we demonstrate, using collaborative autoethnography, how surnames can be haunted by ghosts both real and imagined. The DNA-enabled critical exploration of the history of our surnames, in the context of the social and political factors that shaped them, generates a deeper and more complex understanding of how our surnames were taken/given. In this paper we investigate and deconstruct our Irish and Jewish ancestry. Fitzpatrick and Keesing are anglicised/normanised/colonised surnames that exemplify attempts to dis/member our identities. Here we re/member them, but with that comes a realisation that ‘everything has changed’ and with that come new dis/memberings and re/memberings
Decolonising an Irish Surname by Working the Hyphen of Gene-Ealogy
No full textThe surname Fitzpatrick is readily identified as Irish. Until recently, the traditional Fitzpatrick surname narrative was of a medieval super-progenitor named Giolla Phádraig. His offspring, the eponymous Mac Giolla Phádraig, it was said, somehow came to dwell in every Irish province; yet this is an Irish surname myth that works to erase the history of ancient ‘Fitzpatrick’ clans. This article demonstrates how deconstructing the surname Fitzpatrick, through working the hyphen of gene-eaology, is a practice of decolonisation. Via genetic data and archival records, dominant clan identities are disrupted, while connections with lost clans are re/membered. Critical analysis dismantles the dominant narrative imposed by colonial strategies and reconnects people with kinship groups and forgotten forebears. Questions arise from the deconstruction of an Irish surname. How might new clan identities be imagined, and how is losing a dominant surname narrative negotiated
