Hi Mike,
The Carnaghan/Carnahan surname has been recorded as Canigan, Carnachain,
Carrigan, Kernahan and Kernaghan, and these changes in spelling occur, even
between father and son. It is not uncommon to find a name spelt several
different ways during the lifetime of the same person.

I was told that the actual Carnahan spelling in Ireland was Kernaghan
but was
changed over here by the usual mistakes in writing, census, etc.. Is that
true or not?
