Surnames: McCauley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/zQz.2ACEB/309.310.348 Message Board Post: Hello Catherine, I was searching through McCauley board and saw your reply. I don't know if there's a connection but thought I'd give it a try. You said your Dad's family was born in Brooklyn. Though some of the first names don't match my immediate McCauley 'family tree' from there, wondering if the past family(ies) [generations] were maybe cousins; first or second. My McCauley family was born/raised in Brooklyn(this is some time ago) originating from Ireland. I'm sure there were relatives that continued to live there, though my great grandparents moved to another borough. My great grandmother was Catherine, but my great grandfather's name was James. They had 3 maybe 4 boys, one being James Jr., and I think 2 girls. Am still searching the McCauley lists, boards etc.There wasn't much information about the Brooklyn part of the family; least none that survived the generations. Anything I can find would be great. Thank you, to you and anyone else who could possily help. Cathy GB
