My ggggrandfather was William Broggy and he was born around 1805.  His native place according to his ship indents was Limerick and he was tried in Limerick in 1828 for stealing a pig and sent to New South Wales.  He later used the name Brophy.

There are not a lot of Broggy families around I believe in the Limerick/Clare area but I have heard of  folk around Meelick and seen posts on various sites 

Broggy/ Bruggy
The name Broggy/ O Broghaidh is one of the oldest & rarest of all Irish names & can be seen in The Book of Armagh on display in Trinity College, Dublin.

I am setting up this web page for Broggys who may be looking to trace their family name.

At present there is only 3 families in Ireland with the name Broggy.
My name is Bernadette Broggy daughter of Noel & Bridget Broggy. 

I have been able to trace the family of Noel Broggy of Derrymore back to apporx 1812.  This has given me a base line to go back to the period my ggggrandfather William Broggy was born in to.  I have been able to connect other Broggy families to this one and has given me an overall picture of families with this surname.  It becomes apparent that various deravations of the surname have evolved such as Bruggy, Broggie, Brogy, Broughy etc.

I have begun collecting records of births, marriages or deaths of folk with this surname as far back as the late 1700's who originated from Clare, Limerick and Galway.  Many emmigrated to England, Canada, America and Australia. 

If you are connected to this family surname I would love to hear from you and perhaps you may help me with this project to give us all an idea of the origins of the Broggy clan and how they might be connected.
