With my family the change of spelling came when our Irish ancestors? Migrated to Canada.? They used a different last name [a 'dit ' name -? an 'otherwise know as..."? name]? of Rufiange (because they were refugees)?? while they were in Canada (supposedly hiding from the English who where in controll there during the early 1800's)? Then when they came to the USA, they passed themselves off as Canadian because the 'Irish were not welcome" and changed the spelling to Carrell. I am still looking for the connect to Ireland via France where the children were schooled. Good luck in your search, ?
