I live in Ottawa Ontario Canada. I am one of several hundred McCarneys that I know of in
Canada.
I have been working on my family tree and I think that my 3rd great grandfather John
McCarney joined the British military in 1809 (25th Foot Soldiers, 2nd Battalion) before
finding his way to Canada. I think that he was born in Tillecorbett, Monaghan, Ireland in
1793 or 94. He was married to Catherine (don't have a last name), probably in Canada
and they had 4 sons born in the 1820s and 30s. Their son William had 4 sons and 1 daughter
and the other son Neil had 3 sons and 3 daughters. And so on and so on. So you can see
that you are definitely not alone over here (lol).
Does any of this look familiar on your family tree info?
Can anyone help me find/connect with the McCarney family in Ireland especially in the
Monaghan area?
