Mulcahy

Hello, I'm searching for William Mulcahy, born about 1821, Ireland. Sibling is Danial Mulcahy born abt. 1827, Ireland.  William was married to Margaret Kennedy, born abt. 1829, Ireland. I don't know where they were born, or if they were married in Ireland or in the USA.

I know this a long shot because I have so little info, but thought having two siblings names and approx. birthdates might lead to some leads.

Thank you.

Mulcahy is very common in Cork, Waterford, Tipperary and Limerick. I looked at the subscription site Roots Ireland and there are ten William Mulcahy baptismal records between 1819-1823. Some parishes do not have records back to this period and if he was baptized in one of those parishes then a record would not be available. There are also about four Daniel Mulcahy baptismal reords around 1827 mostly in Tipperary. The William records were mostly in Cork or Waterford.  You can get a short-term subscription to Roots Ireland and see if you can find records for William and Daniel with the same parents.

Have you considered DNA testing?

Thank you for your response Roger. It is much appreciated. I have searched on Roots Ireland, with same results you have provided. Was hoping my queery here might uncover another Mulcahy researcher with better results than I have had.

Yes, I have done a DNA test via Ancestry and shared it on Gedmatch. No matches that have helped my search to date.

Thank you again.

Hello Noela, Thanks for reaching out. Have you, or any one in your family, done a DNA test? I will add these names to my possible connections. Best regards, Kim
