Krissy,
I can't offer much help except that I am also researching a CARNEY family
from Tipperary. My g-g-grandmother was Mary Carney, born in the RC Parish of
Clonoulty, May 12, 1830.
All I know so far is that she married a Mr. Dwyer, from Tipperary as well.
Their son Patrick was born in Algona, Iowa in either Dec 1855 or 1858. Mr.
Dwyer died a few months later and Mary Carney Dwyer married Michael Grant.
It is believed that Mary Carney and Mr. Dwyer arrived in the US through New
York.
Do you know where in Tipperary your Carneys are from?

HI my name is Krissy, Maureen is a friend of mine that let me use her
ancestory membership to find some info on my family, with no luck though.
My father insists that our spelling of our name has alrays been Carney. I
am unable to trace my grandfather past his resting point. He died when my
father was very young. He was from New York, and the records building (so
everyone says:) ) burned down. So all I know is the day he died, his
brother and my grandmother any info would be great...Krissy
Carney-Lawson..P.S. All the Carney's that I have talked to here have been
from Michigan with no twins...My grandpa was a twin

I don't know how common the name Carney is, but I do know that Carney is
the
spelling. There was no "K" in Gaelic. The name is derived from Cearnaigh.
I'm looking for Carneys from Dingle in County Kerry. There were also many
Carneys on the Great Blasket Islands. I was told that they started
spelling
their names differently to make it easier for people (or mail) to find
them.
