The modern surname can be found as McHale and MacHale...More MCHALE family history

My Great Grandmother was Frances McHale. I was told that she was raised and lived in Ireland until she came to the states with my Great Grandfather. Her married name was Laux. Is there anyone out there that may be related to her and can tell me more? Itโs not much to go on but itโs all I have at the moment.
