This Web Page has been set-up to gather information on the name:

HARRAGHY

Our particular branch of the family originated in Highwood, Moytura, Kilmacranny, County Sligo, Ireland. (Near Boyle in County Roscommon) We are aware of branches of the name in the Isle of Man, England, (especially Liverpool), Scotland, (including Glasgow and Edinburgh), America, (especially in New Hampshire and Massachusetts), Australia (especially Melbourne) and Canada.

Most of the people in our group spell the name as either Harraghy or Harrahy.

However old records show a number of spelling variations. There could be any number of variations. Possible variations are set out on a separate page;- go to Name Variations.

Please let us know if you know of any others.

We know very little about the history of our name but anything we do know we have recorded on a separate page. Go to History of Name.

Please send me any aditional information you may have.

We have an extensive database of Harraghy Connections. We would like to add to it and keep it up to date. We want to record details of people currently living as well as details of our ancestors, and use the information to build family trees for the various branches of the family. We ask all Harraghy Connections to put on record whatever information they already have so that we can include it on a database.

A questionnaire is attached to this web page.

Please complete it and submit it to us.

If you can provide information on more than one family member, then you may find it easier to put the information on a spreadsheet and email it to us,using the email address below. A pre-formatted Excel Spreadsheet (PC format) is attached to this Web Page. You may find it simpler to download it and complete it off-line. Click on Download.

NB The same forenames recur over and over again in different branches of the family and therefore it is important to provide as much information as possible.

We invite Harraghy Connections to set up their own web pages and let us know so we can set up links between them. If you already have a Web Page we ask you to inlude a link to our page. Please email us and let us know; we will be glad to reciprocate.

Please remember to add our Web site to your Favorites list before you follow any of our external links.(or Bookmark if you are a Netscape user). There is lots of information on the Web and we have included some Links of our own you may wish to follow.

We have searched through phone books and on line White Pages and we have listed the names we found in White Pages.

A search on Genealogy.com turned up many names and you can see these by going to Search on Gencom.

Some names were also found on the USA Social Security Death Index. Go to Search SSDI.

Most of us started our internet search by going to various search engines and typing in the family name. One of the benefits of having a relatively scarce name is that we don't get overloaded with irrelevant information.

We have placed some of this information on Har**ys on the Web.

This is a bit of a jungle at the moment, but we will tidy it up as we progress.

We have included a page to record any family news items, bits of gossip and anything else you would like to share with our wider family group. No slander please! We can also use it to post any queries you have on your own individual family connections.

Please let us have any relevant information and we will include it on our Message Board.

Nothing like some family photos to catch our attention, so we have included a Picture Gallery.
Remember it will take a little longer to download pictures.

Please share your photos with us so that we can include them in the Gallery. We are particularly interested in seeing any old photos you may have.

Watch out for more pages still to come!

We also welcome any correspondence and information regarding the family name and the people who share its heritage.

We can be contacted by email at the address shown at the bottom of the page and you can email other Harraghy Connections by going to Contact Us.

Update as at March 7, 2007.

This web site was originally set up in early 1999, and proved to be an excellent resource in making contact with Harraghy connections. We made great progress during 1999, but our intensive research more or less exhausted itself by early 2000. There has been very little activity in the past 6 years, but we still have all the information that we gathered and are happy to share this with other Harraghy connections. We have built an extensive family tree, but there are still gaps in it. If you know that you have a Harraghy connection somewhere, please contact us. More than likely we can give you some information on your connections, and you just might be able to fill in some of the blanks in our own records.

Back in 1999, if we did a search on the name Harraghy, or one of its variations, we got a relatively small number of hits. Today you will get over 1200 hits. Other sources of information have also become available online.

However best results were achieved by direct contact with living Harraghy connections.

We are now hoping to reconstruct this web site, and in the meantime have pruned some of the information that was previously available.

Whether you are seeking information, or you have information to share with us, please email me at harraghy@utvinternet.com

This Web site is maintained by Tommy Harraghy.
The site is now under reconstruction.

We welcome your feedback.
