Well, this may be a stretch, but do you think your Cavens could have
shortened their name? The following posting is located at
kavanagh-l(a)rootsweb.com:
Hi everyone!
Could we please do a roll call, so that we have some idea what
lines each of us is working on?
Don't worry if you haven't gotten very far, I am the list administrator,
and I
have not gotten beyond my grandfather's family!
My grandfather was Gerald Matthew KAVANAGH, who was born in
Bancroft, Ontario.
He had 4 brothers, one of whom is still alive. I believe that his father's
name
was Dermot KAVANAGH. I will make a point of finding out the rest of the
details and posting them to the list later on today.
I wish I had more to post right now, but I am curious, are there any others
on this list researching the Ontario KAVANAGHs?
