Migration To North America
Most North American Careys encounter less difficulty in establishing the origins of their surname. Many are able to trace their family origins back to Ireland via one of the several waves of emigration there throughout the centuries. Given that the movement of Careys from Ireland has been almost exclusively one way (outbound), this significantly reduces the dilemma over the origin of their surname.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or america:
“Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
From North and from South, come the pilgrim and guest,
When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
