Research

I was doing my shift at the Family History Center last night and came across a book entitled A Census of Ireland circa 1659.  I looked up County Antrim and it listed the "gentlemen" who owned land, and then, at the bottom, the surnames who were living in that county.  There were 9 McCaws at that time.  Will have to do some digging and wrap my brain around what I already have to find out given names. Sometimes the information is right in front of one's face and, in this case, I seem to remember some tenant information and their landlords' names.  Will keep you posted.

And by the way, if you are doing your own family research that connects to the McCaws, please don't hesitate to leave a comment and maybe we can help each other.
