About the Project

The McCarthy Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the McCarthy name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the McCarthy name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England McCarthy's), by time period (18th Century McCarthy's), or by topic (McCarthy DNA, McCarthy Occupations, McCarthy Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Research Pages

• to be created: McCarthy/MacCarthy Family from West County Cork (We are especially interested in the McCarthy/MacCarthy Family from West County Cork, where they have been powerful landlords since the time of Cromwell or before. They were known as McCarthy Reigh, or McCarthy the Great and they controlled much of West Cork in their day. Our most recent generations include Ellen Troy McCarthy who married William McCarthy and is the mother of Hannah Marie "Rosie" McCarthy Ahern, recently deceased, of Top Cross in Lisgoold Parish in northern County Cork. We would like to find all of their McCarthy ancestors back to their earliest McCarthy kin.)
• to be created: Reliable sources for McCarthy/MacCarthy Lineage
