Michael Herrick was my great-great-grandfather. He and his parents and siblings and later his wife and children lived in the townland of Knockbarron, civil parish of Drumcullen, Catholic parish of Eglish. He was born circa 1820. Immigrated to New York City in the late 1850s or 1860s. Seeking any information though I do have all the usual sources--marriage, Griffith's etc.
Co. Offaly, or Uíbh Fhailí in Irish, was once known as King's County. It is in the midlands region of Ireland with the River Shannon defining its western border. We are home to Birr Castle and Moneygall, which is the ancestral home of President Obama. Our county town is Tullamore and we have a population of approximately 78,003. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
