    I'm currently trying to trace my family tree and I'm having terrible trouble with my grandfathers side. I know very little information about him other than he was born in Mayo in a place called Cloonamillto ...I could be spelling that completely wrong, he pronounced it "Clu-na-mill-toe"
    I've searched for this and cant find it anyway ...has anybody here ever heard of it?

    Thanks x

    Binka..that's excellent, thanks very much for your help.
    Any idea how its pronounced? Would it be Clu-na-mail-toag?
