Searching for Byrne relatives from Ballymacarbry, County Waterford
My husband John O’Neill met cousins from his mother’s side (Byrne) when they came to visit in Pittsburgh in the mid to late 1980s. They would have been in their 20s or early 30s.
My husband’s great-grandfather was Michael Byrne of Ballymacarbry, County Waterford. He was the husband of Margaret Neulooly and father of: Joseph (my husband’s grandfather born in the states), Babe, Mary, John, Terry and Margaret. Another American family member mentioned a cousin named Liam that they were in touch with last in 2009.
We’re hoping to learn more about our family’s roots and possibly connect with relatives or neighbors who may share this lineage. Our goal is to honor this heritage and build meaningful ties with the community that shaped it.If you recognize any family names or have suggestions for local records, stories, or contacts, we’d be deeply grateful.
