Ardiffs in Lexilip were cousins of my father.....a number of them are now living in USA.....and your interest ?

Hi dln,

My wife is an Ardiff (via her mom) and if your father is one of the Leixlip gang that came to the states, then your father and my wife are probably 4th cousins.  My wife is from Dublin (Clondalkin) and we were married in Leixlip in 2002.

I have become fasinated with the Ardiff surname becouse every Ardiff world wide can be traced to Leixlip.  It's the only surname that I have ever seen that has that exact grographic origan.
