Sorry for misspelling Mcgrath. I did my searching using the correct spelling. The Mcgraths are in many places in Ireland and England, still today. I read somewhere there were 80, 000 families worldwide. Geneology is very challenging, but very rewarding, especially when you find someone important with your family name. My father wanted me to find out about the relative that was hanged for stealing a horse. I didn't find him, but I did find one who printed counterfeit money, before the american revolutionary war.

Mr mcgaff came to the USA prior to Ellis island, so that is not a solution. Passenger ship lists are almost hopeless - I've never found anyone there. There are census records of Ireland back to the at least 1821. some mcgaff's have occupations listed as shoemaker, mason, and even priest. So I've been no help, but I still wish you luck. Bob

If you take your year of birth and subtract 25 years for each generation you go back, you can find an approximate year that someone was born. The big event in Ireland was the Potato famine, which triggered a lot of immigration. I like to study history of a country before tackling geneolgy questions. I search for names of places for a persons name to help me guess where the most likely place someone is from. Street names and names of rivers, creeks, and other places can be found through searches. There are many search engines available. If you need futher help, then ask questions through this forum. There are many people willing to help. Obviously you have the ability to discover many things, since you were able to find this web site. Good luck Bob Lyles Mississippi, USA

Cambridgeshire / Lyles in Cambridgeshire

I am looking for any information about any Lyles who lived in England a long time ago. I understand that a census was taken in the 11th century and was called the domesday project. My ancestors were probably in Spain about 40,000 years ago, and migrated as far north as Denmark. From there they came back south to the city of Lille France in Normandy. Lille was spelled Lisle at this time, hence the name became de Lisle. Later on the name became Lyles. I believe the Lyles became Barons in Cottenham and had a manor house on Lyles road. Even later on they may have fled to the Isle of Ely, before coming to the United States. If anyone has any information I would love to hear from them. My email address is removed to prevent spamming Please put cambridgeshire in the subject, so I will know it is safe to read. THANKS Bob Lyles
