Hi!My GGGGGrandfather was Patrick Cantwell born in 1796 in Kilkenny Ireland.He came to Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1821 and I've found his name listed in church records as Camfield and Camphil and even found a son listed as Campbell.Guess the parish priest had the say as to spelling since most of these Irish were illiterate.Hope I'm not discouraging you in your search!
