Hi Nikki, Hello from the states. My ancestors, I'm told came from Mayo to Vermont in 1800. GGGGrandfather Timothy sent for family after getting settled. I have lots of research to do...just need more time to do it. Best regards, Kathy

Hi Nikki,

I am currently working on my Cahill Family history, seeking information on my grandfather, John Joseph Cahill, who was born in Castleisland, Ireland in the 1880's. He came to the United States around 1890-1900. Is Castleisland near Castlebar? Just wondering if it was the same area, perhaps some family connections?

Regards,

Jim Spain

Hello Jim, I am an English descendant of Irish Cahills from Castletownroche in County Cork.Castleisland and Castlebar are miles apart. One is in County Mayo in the West of ireland and the oher is in County Kerry which is the far South West of ireland. (The bit that sticks out at the bottom left of the map) Well, clear as mud this dont you think ?

My mother was Nora Cahill b Oct 29, 1908.
She was born in Co. Longford, Ireland one of 9 children born to Catherine Hoar and Michael Cahill. She immigrated to NYC USA in 1924. She had several brothers who moved to England. One was named Patrick Cahill. Any info would be appreciated.

Are you a direct decendent of the archbishop,who left one co, went into cork, co,irland, around 900ad,or so. original spelling o'cahill.

thank you for your message but I have not got a clue about my Cahill history. I am hoping to find out by travelling to ireland next year. I know only that my Gt gt grandmother was mary cahill from Castletownroche in Cork. I know this because I have a copy of a baptism record for 1866 of my great grandmother. How on earth did you manage to go back so far ? Anyway, my Mary Cahill married a Michael Ryall. A horse trader. I do not know how to progress further.Thanks again and I hope to hear from you again. By the way, I am in Plymouth England. You ?
