O'CARROLL DATABASE

The O'Carrolls are an ancient family that can trace their roots in the early history of Ireland. The first four articles in this database were created by Colin O'Carroll on his home computer in South Africa and sent to me on a number of floppy discs. Some of the formatting has gone adrift in the process of uploading the information to this site and we apologise for this. Faults will be rectified if notified to us. The database covers information that has been collected on the Carroll and O'Carroll familes. Some of the information has been incorporated into the main website pages. More information can be found on my Genealogy Resources site.   Database Explorer  Ireland and its history. The O'Carroll name, castles and coats of arms described.

This is the "official" website of the Clan Cian which includes Carrolls and O'Carrolls.  Sean Murphy says of the claims made on this site: O'Carroll maintains a website at http://www.clancian-carroll.com/, which presents his 'Clan' as a strange Irish-Scottish hybrid, complete with its own tartan and participation in American Highland gatherings.
