I am trying to trace my roots and was told that my Grandfather Patrick McGee was from the town of Clauda, County Kilkenny but I do not see it on maps of County Kilkenny. He came to the United States as a young boy.
Can you help me to research my Family Tree?
I was told my Grandfather Patrick McGee was born on December 10, 1874 in County Kilkenny
His Father was Charles McGee Born June 9, 1837 Died April 10,1876
His Mother was Julia O'Connor McGee Born April 6, 1839 Died Feb 20, 1884
I was told that my Grandmother Mary Ryan McGee was born on March 14, 1877 in County Kilkenny
Her Father was James Ryan Born ? Died October 16, 1918
Her Mother was Alice Daly Born ? Died October 8, 1911
Thank you for any help that you can provide.
Sincerely,
Patrick McGee

Hi Patrick
You may want to have a look on www.rootsireland.ie/
There are Charles McGee baptisms 1835 & 1839

I chercked the parish and the 1835 was from CLOUGH so perhaps this was mis-transcribed at some stage.
There is also a parish called CLARA but none of them were from there.
I couldn't find Charles's marriage however.
ancestry.com has a few public member trees with Charles's parents as Edward McGee & Mary.

If all else fails there are 2 McGees in the Irish phone book (free online)
