Of Course!  That's how my Kane's are Kanes...but it happened before we got to the USoA...there may have been pressure from the start of the plantations to anglicize O'Caithain to just Kane....we are all the same family though!!

On your website you state that most of the diaspora are O'Kanes.   I think there are more Kanes in America than O'Kanes, O'Caithain's, Kane's, etc in Ireland.  48527 according to US 2000 census.(not bad...there are 48656 for O'Neill) no O' variations make the top 1000


Ill will ahve to look that up but sounds like not far from the truth. Hope your well. R
