Greetings from Tucson, Arizona! just discovered relatives from Cork. Their names were McAuliffe. they emigrated to Massachusetts in the mid 1800's. Would love to learn more about their life there. any McAuliffe's out there? Kind regards, lynn
Lots of McAuliffes from North Cork - specifically Newmarket, Scarteen, Meenishall, Gooseberry Hill. My Mother was McAuliffe from Meenishall. My husband's Grandmother was McAuliffe from Gooseberry Hill - you would have to provide more information on the family. There have been McAuliffe Clan Gatherings in Newmarket, County Cork in the past.
