I have been researching my 2X great grandparents Michael Carty/Carthy/McCarthy (abt 1790 - abt 1841) & Mary Gleeson (abt 1805 - 1881). I have located all of their children's baptismal records online through the NLI Borrisokane Parish records which gives their place of residence as Kyleagoonagh (if I am interpreting the name correctly). Mary and the children would eventually all immigrate to Appleton, Wisconsin by about 1860.
There seem to be several other Carty/Carthy/McCarthy families with children being baptised from Kyleagoonagh in the Borrisokane Parish about the same time. I have included an index of the early McCarthy family parish baptismal records in the attachment with this post. There are also some Gleeson baptisms listed, but I am sure this list is not complete. I have only looked through the year 1840. I was not as careful with the Gleeson surname.
I am hopeful that someone may have a connection to one of these families which may provide a lead for me. However, please double check these transcriptions for accuracy if they relate to your family (especially the place names).
The records may be viewed online by typing in Borrisokane Parish (Killaloe Diocese) Tipperary: Page # = screen # online.
If anyone can provide information about these McCarthy or Gleeson families, it would be greatly appreciated. I suspect that the other McCarthy families in Kyleagoonagh are closely related. I would like to be able to continue the family lines further back if possible, but I am unsure whether there are any existing records to aid in this process.
