My last name I'm, trying to trace is LAVIN. I've traced my Lavin side back to Sept. 1878 when my grandfather was born. The Lavin branch are from Castle bar. County Mayo. They settled in Chicago. Good luck in your search. Ken Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
