A good source to check when searching for some obscure Coffee/y names is the index to the Coffey Cousins' newsletter.
This is an 'everyname' index and is up to date through Issue No. 94.(about 23 years of newsletters), and can be accessed at:

The family of Joseph and Catherine WIESS appear in the 1870 Jasper county, Texas census and then vanish. They are living at Wiess' Bluff with the Wiess families, descendants of Simon and Margaret Wiess.
If anyone knows anything about this family, please contact me.
Are they related to the family of Simon Wiess?
Another researcher says his aunt told him that Joseph Wiess' wife's name was Catherine Coffee, but no other evidence is offered for that.

I am a descendant of the Coffee families. I am also a Hughes. Both families originated in the Strokestown area of Roscommon and I am interested in any family information on these families and related families:
Barlow
Curtain
Gilhooley
Sharkey
and, of course, any variations on the name. All families came to Australia eventually .... the Coffee's via the USA (Wyoming, NY & Lexington KY) and Canada.
Unfortunately, we are unable to participate in any DNA research at the present time for lack of male descendants. We are still looking for that elusive male line in Australia.
However, anyone interested in these names is welcome to contact me .... I would really appreciate any information.
Regards, Claire

McDuffie Surname DNA Project
"Irish clan DUFFIE or FEE"
http://www.mcduffiedna.com/
email Rod Macduff rodmac(a)swiftdsl.com.au
MALES (no females) with any of the following surnames (among others) qualify to participate in this DNA study. These surnames are all from one Irish clan called DUFFEE or FEE. They "originated" in Ireland, and over several generations some of them moved to Scotland, some of those moved back to Ireland; and of course, many of them moved beyond Ireland and Scotland during the Irish diaspora of the mid-19th-century. The word "Scot" means "Irish."
Generally speaking, it can be assumed that all families of the following surnames started out as Celtic pagan, then Celtic Christians, then Roman Catholic Christians; then some converted to Protestantism while living in Scotland or England. So whether your family is now Roman Catholic or Protestant, ALL OF THEM were Roman Catholic for 1,000 years from approximately 500 AD to 1500 AD. All current remnants of Irish clans are a mixture of Roman Catholics and Protestants, but some have chosen to be neither RC or Protestant (such as myself).
These surnames (variant spellings) are/were either by itself, or preceded by Mac, or preceded by O'. Mc is an abbreviation of Mac, and is interchangable with Mac.

My interest in this surname (and its derivatives) is my 2nd great grandmother was a Mary DUFFY (or DUFFICY) b abt 1840 Ireland, County Roscommon, Strokestown Catholic Parish, d 1922 New York, Kings County, Brooklyn. Mary somehow survived the Great Hunger of 1847 "Black '47", then emigrated to USA, New York, Kings County, Brooklyn in 1863 with hubby & three kids.
