The Carrolls I am familiar with were from Quincy ill. However I thought it strange that my gr.grandfathers name was James, and he had sons that were named James, and Joseph. I guess that was common. I know my gr. grandfather is from Ireland, maybe your grandfather somehow was related to my gr.grandfather. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
