I had a relative in Philadelphia and his O'Flaherty's were from Kilkenny. The name went to Flaherty and then Laherty. Sometime in the 20's somehow (via the government) it became Larthey. Their son died in France in WWII. The Government came to Mr. Larthey and insisted the name be changed back to Laherty. He refused and said his son died for the U.S.A. with the name Larthey and he would not change it. Nancy > Hi List, > > This made me think of my SIL.
