Descendants of the O’Cearnaigh sept whose territory was in the
barony of Carray, Co. Mayo, have adopted Carney as an anglicization of
their name, and families of the name are still to be found today in the
neighborhood of Castlebar. However, the form Carney was also adopted
sometimes rather than the much more frequent form Kearney (q.v.) by
descendants of the Mac Carnaigh sept of Ballymacarney, barony of Dunboyne,
Co. Meath, of the O’Cartharnaigh sept who once held sway in the barony of
Kilcoursey, Co. Offaly, and of an O’Cearnaigh sept anciently established at
Cashel, Co. Tipperary.

This is definitely a work in progress. I used “Gene”, a
genealogical program for the Macinitosh to input my information. I’ve been collecting the information slowly over a period of years. Most recently, I obtained much more information at a Doherty family gettogether. Unfortunately, this was a funeral for my Aunt Agnes Doherty-Fallon.

I also used [[SQLFamily]] To help me present the information that I input
with Gene. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I can do this because my Mac is now equiped with [[MacOSX]] which lets me run cool things like [[MySQL]] and [[Apache]] with [[PHP]].

Hopefully soon, family members will be able to update the contents of this site whenever there’s a change to be made (making it much more likely that it’ll be kept up to day).

It’s still kind of experimental, but take a look at the resulting [[Family Tree]].
