My great grandfather Herbert Carmichael came from Northern Ireland to Vancouver Island in
the late 1800's. Our family is small and the Carmichael name will end with me. However
I understand that Herbert came to Canada with a cousin but that they had a dispute and
they were estranged. So I suspect that your family comes from Herbert's cousin.
Herbert had one son, my grandfather William Maurice Carmichael (who was a world renowned
Silversmith in Victoria), and he had two sons, one was my dad Donn Carmichael (deceased)
and the other son Colin Carmichael is alive but has no children. My only brother Peter
Carmichael passed in 1990, so there is just my sister Susan and me. I have children but
they are not Carmichaels. WM Carmichael also had a daughter Nancy Carmichael who has five
children and lives in Victoria, but her children have different surnames, so there are no
more Carmichael's from Herbert Carmichael.
