I though it odd that the spelling on some actual birth records would give my grandfather surname as NOWLIN. This variation I have not seen on the list.Before I had my name changed some people would ask if my Surname was NOWLAND. I believe that I have posted to the list a little message about the Irish origins of the NOLAN name.O'Nullian. I am not trying to be a know it all.Just looking for others who have the name variation NOWLAN.on official records keep on-keeping on-never quit. Roger
