Hi JMGTaylor: It's funny you should ask that question. I've been researching that same question myself for about five years trying to determine if the Palatine Davins are related to my Davin ancestors who settled in Fort Plain, Canajoharie, Gloversville and Johnstown NY area. My grandfather John Davin and his brother Michael stayed with an uncle Thomas Davin in Canajoharie when they arrived from Clifden. I noticed that the Davin family you mentioned lived close to them at that time in Palatine Bridge and when I saw that the website you mentioned showed they were from Clifden, I assumed they were related but to date I have been unable to prove it despite extensive research. I wrote to the administrator of that family tree several times looking for more info on the Palatine Davins but never received a response. If you have a connection to them of to any Clifden Davins I would love to hear from you. I'm convinced that all Davins from Clifden are related. Bill Burke
