Donna - Carmean is in Londonderry and Carmeen in Down. They can both sound the same....... I'd go for Down if I was you..........if you want a choice between Monaghan and either. The surnames Morrison and Rogers both show up as being most common in Antrim, Down and another county in the analysis of births for 1890 in Ireland. There's aman called RaymonD Kelly on the Down list and he maintains a very good web site and does looks ups. He may concentrate on only one part of Down.........
