Loads of information to sift through, just starting out from down here in oz.  

Thank you for the interesting information on the Carroll name researching my husbands last name.  

Wow! This is a great website. I learned a lot from this site about my families history. My father is a Carroll he said I was form the O'Carroll clan. Now I see that I am. :)  

How is Clan Cian associated with the Dal Cassians? Why is O'Brien of Ara a dependent sept?  

Accept my sympaty for the loss and may the good Lord grant him eternal rest amen.

Grandmother was from Co. Galway, came over when she was 16. Tried to find her Clan affiliation, and finally got it. Hello from Portland, Ore.!! See you at the Highland games.  

I have just learned of my family's affiliation with Clan Cian and we are all very honored to be part of such a wonderful group of Irish Americans. We hope to get more involved and represent the Clan and the O'Sullivans with vast pride and honor. Thank you Seamus O'More!  

We have a McCarville/McCarvel Family Association that consists of the McCarville descendents of the O'Carroll kings of Oriel (Monaghan and Louth), one of the two remaining septs of the Carroll sept. The last O'Carroll king of Oriel was captured, blinded, and killed by the Normans in 1194, and McMahons became the leading power. The MacCarroll name was anglicised to MacCarvil, and the remaining family members were leaseholders, centered around Greenan's Cross, southwest of Monaghan town. Many of the family abandoned their leaseholds during the potato famine and immigrated to PEI, WI, MN, IA, and MT. Some branches remain as landowners in Western Co. Monaghan. Contact the author for information on a book published by the association about the McCarville/McCarvel family.
