I am of Irish descendants. Carmickle was our name but also referred as carmichael. . In info would be great appreciated. surnames are: carmickle, carmichael. Last known relative was Peter Carmickle 1758-1805 married to Maria (Mary Lucas)1760- unknown, of Lancaster, PA. you can contact me here or privately
In Ireland it would be Carmichael and the surname was most common in the Northern provinces at that time (now Northern Ireland) and it is a Scottish name from origin. Unfortunately the Irish records do not go back that far in time, church records start around 1800 and civil registration was only rolled out in 1864 in Ireland.
Ancestry shows me that Peter Carmichael was born in Hardin, Kentucky and that Maria Lucas was born in Conewaga PA.
I found a major Irish History in PA USA from Irishmen that came to work on railroad. Not sure if records in Ireland of these individuals. But thought maybe someone could share insight or be interested in project.
