Caufield Family History

The names Caufield and Caulfield in Ireland are often an anglicized form of the native Gaelic Sept name Mac Cathmhaoil which is more often anglicized as McCall. Other descendants bearing this name are of Anglo origin, especially as a prominent Caulfield family settled in Ulster where the majority of descendant families can still be found.

A Sept or Clan is a collective term describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors had a common surname and all inhabited the same lands.
