<br>: I will be grateful for any information on the name Boal or on families of that name in County Roscommon, especially Roscommon Town, either early century or current times. Thanks sincerely, Michael.<br>I don't know that spelling. But you might look at Boles in Boyle; a long established retail business in town and still there. They're C of I as are many of the retailers in Boyle.<br>

[Peter J Millar]

Boal is a Spanish name.<br>I have been reseaching this name for over a decade.<br>My grandmother was Eliza Walker Boal b. 6 Jan. 1876<br>in Hurtletoot, Co. Antrim, m. Thomas Millar 1899<br>in the 1st. Antrim Presbyterian Church, Antrim and d.<br>in Melbourne, Australia 1956.<br>If you have not seen it use a search engine for<br>"The Story of an American Heritage". This is the<br>background of the Boal's of Boalsburg, PA, USA.<br>This family is most likely related to mine in Co.<br>Antrim. No link has been confirmed to date.<br>My Boal's went from Edinburgh, Scotland, c. 1680<br>and settled near the towns of Antrim and Kellswater<br>in Co. Antrim.<br>Please e-mail me with any Boal's you have as I may<br>be of assistance to you. I have in my files Boal's<br>from the USA and Canada together with Ireland.<br>The Irish links largely relate to Co. Antrim - but<br>who knows - one may be yours.<br>The Boal's were almost without exception<br>Presbyterians. To be C of I at that time would be<br>very similar in doctrine so it was likely a home<br>away from home.<br>Trinity College in Dublin was an engine house of<br>reformed doctrine in those days.<p>With best wishes,<br>Peter J Millar<br>South Australia
