Hi,
to be honest, I don't know.
Several of us Cantwells have connections back to Castlecomer/Clogh area and loads of
similar naming patterns. But, we haven't yet found a common ancestor that we can
document.
One line, transported to Australia, has the information furthest back. Another, went to
Minnesota and was highlighted in a recent Seattle Times article -
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/travel/2003454992_ireland03.html. Several more
haven't yet tied back which townland, but have some miners in the family in NYCity and
Schuylkill County.
So, we are following all leads that give us a hint of being connected.
Simple detective work underway and many semmingly solid brick walls. But, you never
know....;<)
Gary
