Hello all,
I was told my family (Kyle) was from County Down, but I'm not sure this is correct. Is there anyone out there that is related to the Kyles (Lord and Lady, daughter, Mary is all I know)? I was told they had a castle, but I'm not sure this is correct. Also, Billie Glass and Sam McAdoo are people/families I'm interested in. Thank you so much.

Sorry, I'm new to this. I should've been more specific. I've been told Lord & Lady Kyle lived in Clair Castle (not sure this is correct) in County Down. They had a daughter named Mary who ran off to marry Billie Glass. They also had a daughter named Mary who married Sam McAdoo. Their daughter, Annie McAdoo was born March 8, 1899 supposedly at Collinstown. Sam, Mary and Annie arrived at New Orleans, Louisana on the ship "Charlie Chandler". Once again..sorry, I'm new at this.
Thanks,
April

Cardfan:
Is that Cardfan as in St. Louis Cardinals????
Here is a link to Ros Davies' County Down site where you will find quite a few Kyles listed. Maybe something will ring a bell.

I am not aware of a Clair Castle in Down. I haven't seen any references to a Lord or Lady Kyle either. For an interesting look at the history of Kyles in Ireland see this:

Good luck,

Yes, I am a St. Louis Cardinals fan...and proud of it ;)
Thank you very much for those sites. I'll check them out this evening. I'm just trying to figure out how accurate my information is as it's somewhat sketchy. Make sense? If it's not accurate, I want to find the correct information.
Thanks again,
April

I found something! Sorry...got a little excited there. It said Annie McAdoo was born March 8, 1839 in Collins Town, Addman Church (didn't give a county), Ireland. ;D
