McCarthy - Blarney Castle - As far back as I can remember our family believed we (McCarthy) are descendants of Cormac MacCarthy (McCarthy, McCarty). Is there a record of Cormac MacCarthy descendants, or perhaps, Donough Mac Carty, the 1st Earl of Clancarty? How do I find information on these men? Would records be in the parishes only?
Thank you, mccarthy5

Hi McCarthy5,
Thank you very much for your message.
I suggest that you contact the Local Studies Department of Kerry county Library for some advice on where you can find information on the McCarthy?s. Here is their webpage:

Hopefully they will be able to assist you!
Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
