Dear Jack
In all my years of research this is the first I have heard of any Cahill's
returning to Ireland.....can you give anymore information?
Thanks

On the subject of cancer which has become the new epedimic.no known Cahill's
suffered from it until the late 1950's or early 1960's. Then from not taking
the viatmin regime with the TB medicine..ALL other cancers of our line have
come from unknown causes or ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES..........@ pollution.
For the record.....the men are usually kind of shy or reserved but utterly
charming and beguiling...the women may appear reserved but their company is well
sought after.and of course every one is good looking. I have yet to see ANY
Cahill or picture of one that was homely.
I just thought we all needed THAT to think about too while we are speaking of
our debits we shouldn't lose sight of our assetts.

Hi Terri,
I really don't know. Other than they were young boys. I have a picture of
one.

I found this message quite interesting. My mother daughter of Susan Cahill
had a severe drinking problem. Kids should know their parents illnesses.
she had strokes, diabetes, alcoholism, high blood pressure, high cholestreol,
heart trouble. you name it. she had it. which seems to have been passed on
to my generation, and the next one and one more so far.
sad that my mother didn't get the opertunity to find out her medical when she
was a child. she was over weight too.

Message Board Post:
Wish to compare notes with other's who are researching their CAHILL's in or around Newark,NJ. The dates would be from about 1850 to present. I have lots of info but so far haven't found my
Catherine Cahill born Ireland (Cork?) in 1837.

Very intriquing, Cahill's physical profiles. My Cahills came from County Kerry to Orange Co, NY about 1861 and then into Osage Co, KS ten years later, staying there except for moves by some to Lexington, Lafayette Co, Mo and Wyandotte Co, KS - until 1930s and beyond. This line is my father's mother (paternal) Elizabeth Cahill born Richmond, MO. Death certificates and knew documented illness hit on chronic systitis (kidney ) and black lung from mining coal and congestive heart failure. Alcoholism a major problem. Myself being 60 I have fought asthma, kidney infections and urinary tract infections and abt 22 years sobriety now. As far as strokes, cancer - these to my knowledge not a problem. I did almost perish with after childbirth infection of what they use to call childbed fever. No one seems connected to my Cahills, as yet but now I wonder if 5 major lines do exist with many of us passing on the propensity to all of the mentioned illnesses. Sincerely, Sharon
Hi Claudia,
While reading this email I thought I was talking to a family member.My gosh
you sound as bad off as we are. I also am on blood pressure but just the
last 2 yrs when I had a small stroke,my stroke left me with seizures which
is no fun at all.But I have been doing good since 2000.My mother had to have
a pacemaker put in about a year ago,from there she went into a nursing
home,hate using that word.What I found strange was my grandfather died from
TB but my mother didn't get it. Somewhere us Cahill families/one branch or
another must be related,to many thing are the same, health wise.
Catch you later distant cuz
Terri

Dear Terri
My branch married into the Shawnee.there is a whole line in Kansas/Iowa/Texas
etc that were that constantly intermarried the Shawnee...women. I have agreat
great grandmother in Ohio who is listed as a full blood. I still think I look
like either the Cahill's or Bost's, but not Indian. My grampa Henry was the
one hwo looked like the indian on the nickle.died about 80 years old and at 50
I had more gray hair than he died with.he was the color of old leather.
I am interested in the Cherokee connection though...there were 2 communities
of Cherokee in Ohio near the homes of the Cahill's in the 1780's on....from
Dragging Canoe's band...they came on invitation of Tecumseh...Tecumseh and his
brother Chickseeka helped them fight in Tennessee..where Chickseeka was killed
near what is now called Kingsport. I have many connections to those people and
their various branches west and east. The Chicamaugan Cherokee consisted of
40% Cherokee under Dragging Canoe and 40% Shawnee, then Creek, Delaware,
Potawatomie and a few others. These are the ones who went to the Scioto River near
Portsmouth Ohio in 1789.
I had a kidney infection twice in my life..each time it took about 11 months
for the doctors to get it cleared up...they are no fun.
I had my own first heart attack at age 32, my first documented stroke at
57...I have now had 3 middlin sized ones that have required some therapy and

At this age I also have begun to have leaky valves which cause fluid

we have a lot of breathing problems, asthma etc. also in our family and the
grandchildren and great grandchildren of Susan Cahill. where in MA are your
Cahills
I am glad that helped in some way. I missed out of 2 years of childhood in a
bed in a small roomet over my grandparents back porch.had to eat in a room
with a 10 inch x 10 inch window, a 3/4 door, big enough for one single bed, one
big trunk, one straight chair and 2 boxes of clothes.one my Mom's the other
mine.....my dad was in the navy in WWII. AT that tiem there was only bed rest.
Later they had 2 meds but if you don't take the vitamin therapy WITH the meds
you develope cancer..pancreatic or liver and will die within 6 months. This was
discovered by nurses at VA hospitals in Ohio. SO IF ANYONE GETS TB NOW
.....PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
WHen I was new in trying to research the Cahill side of my family I had 3
names with birthdates..and one marriage date...2 men who were Cahill brothers and
the lady ONE of them married..all PRE CIVIL WAR. Took 17 years to confirm
which married her....One way of determining which relatives might be mine in the
records were to follow the medical trail. We have a pre-disposition to certain
heart ailments but not until a prticular age, plus the lung problems and
something termed blood infection..usually from a wound of some sort. Today they
would called it staph or septic infection of the blood.
WHile we do not inherit these diseases we inherit a weakness to be subject to
them if we allow ourselves to become too worn down or suffer injuries and do
not cleanse them out properly...I am an enviromentally aware person and am
concerned about the hand sanitizers.however I use them on all wounds asap and it
is great how few problems I have had since then...not even sore hangnails. LOL
and I am not on commision.
Good luck finding your details. Pray about it a bit...ask your
ancestor..parent or UNknown grandparents to send you what you need..you will be amazed at
how suddenly something will come to you from an untried source.
enjoy
claudia
I read your answer to J about the Cahill's and it has helped me also. My
grandfather died from TB at 33 my mother was only 7.We all my mother who is
on oxygen 24/7 and my brother,my self and my kids all have lung problems. My

Hi J,
I dont mean to be interfering but,the email from cc was very informative,
for me. With my ggrandmother being a Cahill,my grandfather died from
tuberculosis,my mother,brother,myself and my children all have asthma,and my
middle one was checked for Cystic-fibrosis when she was just months old...my
mother is on oxygen 24/7
This does explain why your mother was in private care.
Terri

please consider that some lines of Cahill's tend toward lung problems from
Cystic- fibrosis to tuberculosis to asthma...at least as far back as the early
1800's.
OFTEN when children were removed from a mother's care it was because she had
tuberculosis and it was highly contagious as well as debilitating and soon
mothers did not have the strength to care for her children.
