The 2012 O'Mahony Society Journal has just come out, and it includes a report on the results so far from the Y-DNA project.  The report is just great reading.

My Mahonys are from Knocks/Castleventry area. Anyone got any connection?

These Mahoneys are not related directly to my family which came from near Skibbereen and east of Baltimore, near Lough Hyne. However, I do have a family tree for a Cain Mahoney and a picture of his gravesite in Skibbereen. Please contact me directly if you want to explore this: barbwalsh49@gmail.com

Okay, I am starting to dig into my ancestral Mary Mahony. 4-Feb-1845 she married Daniel Collins at St. Finbarr's, Drimoleague. Daniel was one of "the Larrys" out of Adrigole. They settled in Cullomane East and Daniel shows up in the Griffiths Valuation. Skibbereen Heritage found the following children:

Mary (or Maria) bap 1-Feb-1852
Diana bap 4-Jun-1854
Jeremiah bap 20-Jul-1856
Margaret 4-Jul-1858
Denis 25-Jul-1860 (my g-grandfather)
Johanna 10-Jan-1863
Daniel 15-Sep-1865

Denis Mahony was a wedding witness, baptismal sponsors of the children include Kean(or Cain) Mahony, Daniel Mahony, Catherine (Kate) Mahony, Timothy Mahony, Margaret Mahony.

Mary Mahony Collins died 21-Aug-1901, age 75. Does anybody know about Denis Mahony in Bohernabredagh in the Dromdaleague Tithe Applotment?
