My grandfather Patrick McCarthy was born 4 March 1906 in Upper Ardgroom. His parents were Daniel & Julia (nee O'Connell) McCarthy. His family lived on a home along what is now R571 (area known as Cappacloghernane). The home is still on the road and unknown if occupied. Many McCarthy family relations are buried in the old Kilmakilloge cemetery, Co. Kerry.
His parents were born in the area, married in Boston in the late 1890's and returned to the town with their daughter Mary b. 1902. His other siblings were Catherine who married Eugene O'Sullivan and they lived off R573 in Tuosist. He had four brothers Daniel, Charles, John and William. I don't believe they ever married and I know very little of their lives. I do not have much information on the brothers other than two brothers remained with their mother until she died in 1969 at age 93. I know there are many family McCarthy and O'Connell relations still in the area and obtained some family history from Riobard O'Dwyer.
I was just hoping to fill in some family history if anyone is willing to discuss.
