MCGARRITY Family History
Recorded in at least seventeen spellings including (Mac)Garrity, (Mac)Geraghty, Gerty, and Gearty, this interesting surname is of Irish origin. It is a patronymic, with "mac" denoting the son of, and was originally found in the form "Mag Oireachtach". This translates as "the son of a member of the Assembly (of Ireland)". The surname arose in an unusual way; at first it was O'Roduibh, but then taking the name of one namebearer Oireachtach O'Roduibh, in the 12th Century (see below), subsequent members of the clan began using this personal name as their surname. The head of the clan was one of the four Royal Chiefs under O'Conor and prominent in Connacht records, the chief also being the Baron of Athlone from circa 1585...Select Audience

My name is Tracey Spencer Bourassa. I am the great-granddaughter of Alice McGarrity, daughter of Thomas McGarrity and wife Mary. I believe Thomas came to America via Scotland with his father and siblings. I have that his father was Hugh McGarrity. Conflicting data on his mother. If anyone could share some information on our family that would be great! Coming to Ireland May 2024 and it would be nice to see where our family came from.
Thank you, Tracey.?
