Murphy is such a common name it is difficult.  The most common county is Wexford.  My Murphy's come from there.  I would suggest you get the oldest ancestor descended from your Murphy's to take the family finder DNA test.  With such a common surname and the lack of early Irish records I suspect this is the best way we will have of finding our distant families.  Check out www.familytreedna.com

if you can find a male Murphy on the same line the ydna test is also useful for origins of the male Murphy line.
