Hi Alan.There seems little doubt in my mind that the Irish links to my/your Scovell clan are quite strong.I replied to Leonard Duek November 2nd `01 and maybe some of the bits and pieces make some sense to you.Perhaps you would take a look and comment.I am sure that some is myth but I am sure some is true.In 1927 or 1928 [when I was 7 or 8] a dark haired, bearded man,arrived one day and stayed a night or two.I was told he was an uncle from Ireland.What his name was or whether he came from the north or south of Ireland I cannot say.I never saw him again or remember any comments being made about him,not surprising really considering my age at the time, and now for that matter.I was once told I was a descendant of `Black Irish`,having spanish stock.Too bad the interest in family roots only takes hold when those who have the answers are dead.Good Luck--Michael on Vancouver Island, Canada.
