Brouphys in the USA

Searching for Brouphys in Ireland and in the US. Near as I can find so far is that my great-grandfather, Michael aBrouphy, immigrated to the US in or around 1828 and settled in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ive managed to find his grave in a cemetery in New Orleans. He had at least one one, Gustave, my grandfather, who died in 1953, asnear as I can find. His son George Michael Brouphy, was born on July 3, 1890 and died on Nov 26, 1952.

Any help I can get on thie quest will be greatly appreciated. And, I am willing to help others, as well. I will be coming for my third trip to Ireland in as many years, Hope to come down to Laois during that visit.

Dear Mike:

 

Many thanks for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome. 

The Brophy surname in the early 1800s appears to be scattered around the counties of Tipperary, Laois, Kilkenny and Kildare with a family in Waterford.  

 

Do you have the names of Michael's parents?  Even a father's name would be very helpful.  Also, if you have the names of Michael's (who emigrated in 1828) children, that would be a big help.  

 

Please include them on this thread and we will try to help you narrow down the area.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

All the best,

 

Jane
