I don't know if this is an active list. I joined hoping to find some
descendants of the following Cahill family. I'm doing research on the
McG(e)ough's and found a sister (Margaret) of my GGrandfather. This
information is from the microfilmed records of St. Patrick's RC Church in
Norristown, Montgomery Co., PA. I don't know if they stayed in that area,
moved to Philadelphia or out of state. Does anyone recognize any of the
names? I'm still going through the records.
Margaret McG(e)ough, Born approx. 1822, Emigrated approx. 1840 pos. on
the Champlain, age 18, landed at the Port of Philadelphia with sister
Catherine.
