O Mahony of Incheens, Killarney

Hi,

I am Dr. Finbarr O Mahony and I am researching the O Mahony family of Kerry and Cork. My 5xg grandfather was Timothy Mahony from Incheens, Killarney, C. Kerry.

Your website shows a family tree with Kain Mahony and Margaret Sullivan (married c. 1823) and a son Kain born 1824.

I can trace my family from Timothy (born c. 1795)) to a Daniel Mahony born c. 1680. This is as a result of a land transfer of Incheens land referred to in the Kenmare Estate manuscripts.

My gx4 grandfather was (Peter) Paul Mahony and his older brothers were John, (born 1821, who married a Hannora Sullivan) and they had a son Cain, and a brother Patrick who was a hatter, born 1824. I can only trace one child for Patrick, a daughter called Fanny. The youngest member of that family was Cain (born 1837 at Incheens). The Church tended to use Derrychunnigh, Glens or Incheens in the Killarney area for the birthplace.

I became involved with the O Mahony Society in the 1970s and recently became very active again, particularly through the yDNA project. Through the project I have found an exact match 12/12 in the US (Dennis Mahony) and a 24/25 match in Australia (Greg Mahony).

Now to the questions:

1. Are you related to Kain Mahony born in 1824 who could be a brother of my Timothy?
2. Have you considered joining the yDNA project on the O Mahony website?
and finally
3. Since the O Mahony the Hatters of Yonkers website seems to be dormant, do you have any contact with the webmaster.

Many thanks for you patience....but until six months ago I was a Corkonian living in Dublin but now that old certainty is gone.

Best regards,

Finbarr
