My Cain family also came from Co Galway, migrating to Australia in 1848. Surname spelling
has proved quite unreliable as a guide to who is/ is not related. The Irish surname
O'Cathain has been anglicised as Cain, Caine, Kane & Keane. Chances are that if
Michael Caine of this family takes a Y-DNA test he will find my family (Cain) & my
nearest DNA matches, a family that uses Kane in the US & Keane in Ireland. See
