Question to the list! Was the name Mahoney ever changed to Lynch as time went on in the Irish country? I have a Mahoney whose father was a Lynch and mother Halloran. When she grew to the age of marriage, her first marriage was to a Fitzpatrick, but her maiden name was Lynch, not Mahoney. Can someone help me in unstanding the names of old Ireland! Thank you kindly. Sincerely, Richie Old Fort, North Carolina
