Traceys of Ireland

Hello, 

This is just a shot in the dark since I have not been able to find any records on my gggrandfather Patrick Tracey, All I ve been able to gather from census and city directory records is that he lived in the Troy/Albany , New York area starting in the 1840's.

At some point, his wife died leaving him widowed with at least 5 girls in Troy, NY. I have conflicting death information for him. He may have also had a brother Michael living in Troy area,

If anyone thinks theis sounds like a possible relation please contact me.

Is there one area of Ireland where the TREACY/TRACEY families predominantly lived??

 

Thank You, 

V

This site https://www.swilson.info/sdist.php  maintained by one of our volunteers shows where surnames were found by county in the mid-19th century based on Griffiths Valuation data. You will get different data depending on the spelling you enter Tracy, Tracey, Treacy. The surname was found in many counties to some degree but Tipperary and Galway had the most records.
