Surnames: Tobin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WWC.2ACI/2968.2.2 Message Board Post: My grandfather, John Patrick Tobin, was born in Kilkenny in the village of Courleigh Feb. 1882. (The town is now spelled Courleagh on the map, though there is not really a town there anymore.) I am wondering if anyone knows about Tobins near Paulstown in Kilkenny. John P. left for America in the early 1900s and settled in Albany, NY. Does anyone know of any possible Tobin family members in Kilkenny or Carlow? Many thanks!
