My research is family names John Carnes [ Cairns Cairnes ] I think Carnes spelling is only found in USA John and wife Ann [ Hannah? ] Bell They are my 4th great grandparens. John's sister Isabel Carnes who married James Bell, said to be Ann's brother. I know very little about how/why they decided to immigrate to USA Some information is documented but other is not. Isabel said they were from BraKa This is probably not the actual spelling. Brachagh, Breckan, Bregagh or even Knockbracken with Knock removed when stating where they were form in 'Ireland' I would like to find their TRUE townland name/location & County in No. Ireland and trace them to back to Scotland if possible. Tree name CairnsCarnesBell Any data will assist me on this quest. I've visited Belfast 3 times but had limited results and time to research. I have more information now and hope to make a trip in the future. Perhaps we can help each other in our search for 1700 and 1600 dates on our relatives. Thank you Charlene My email has a different last name than Carnes
