Dear Terry: Thanks for your reply. I have not been able to establish the home county of my Boyle ancestors. I have spent many hours in that attempt. I have done research in Ireland and through the usual sources in the US. As you probably know, Boyle is a very common Irish name. I am still interested in pursuing this knowledge, but have just completed an extensive (300 pg.) family book on the Boyles in America. It is a huge family and I am taking a rest from research at this time. Any information you can share would be appreciated. I have passenger records etc. If you need specific information as to research resources I am willing to share.
