O'NEILLS in CAHERCIVEEN

[Kate Allan]

I know there were a few Eugene's. including the sibling that was supposed to have emigrated to Australia ( i have a few of these emigres!) but, until they transcribe more passenger lists past 1864 I'll have to be patient!

I'm sure they were all related, and Catholic! I did, as you did, and searched all the o neill names in the IGI ( see, I'm learning) and only turned up the same children as you did,which is , in itself, interesting as there were supposed to be ten. Guess Ill have to go back and search the variations!

Guess I'll be busy for a little while! LOL

I'm only lucky with this lot, can't say the same for another line i've been trying to unravel
