Message Board Post:
My family had always been told that William Carney was born in Balinasloe. On some U.S.
census records it said he was born in Ireland, in others it said Ire-English. One of his
sons put down that his father's country of origin was England. So at some point they
found out that the family had moved there from Ireland. I don't think that our
Carneys were originally from Balinasloe and I don't think that there are any Carneys
there now. Galway and Clare are next to each other... I am not a direct male descendant
of the Carneys but I do have a male Carney cousin who is living. If you have a direct
male Carney descendant in your family we could always get DNA tests done to see if there
is a relation. There is already an established Carney surname project at Family Tree DNA.
