Question:

How many people with the exact spelling of the surname "McGown" live in County Cavan, Ireland?

I have a remote hunch my family is from Cavan, and am trying to do some research.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The "exact spelling" idea is a bad way to research. If they spelled it McGowan in Ireland and McGown in the US, there might have been a reason...spelling changes among Irish immigrants were extremely common. But you'll never find them if that's how you approach the search. You need to find the date of birth for the immigrant ancestors, then contact the parishes in the area to see if they have baptismal records for anyone in the few months following that date of birth.
