As of Septembe 2003 I have about 7000 names on my Family Tree Maker file for the Surnames: AHEARN aka HERON, DALTON, FARRELL, KINCH, MCCARTHY, MacDONALD, O'CONNOR (3 lines) andWHELAN. All from Prince Edward Island, some there as early as 1750. Also: O'CONNOR, CRAWFORD, FLAHERTY and MCAFFERTY from Massachusetts and Rhode Island from about 1850. And SCHULTZ, SCHMIDT AND STEINER from Lubienka, Zbaraz, Ukraine about 1890.
I would appreciate any information about any of these SURNAMES.
