The Moughty family was intermarried to the Duggan, one of the more riches irish-argentines families here. Check Los irlandeses en Argentina by Coglhan, it gives a lot of information of both families.I think that some of the Moughtys returned to live to Ireland. It is very difficult to obtain outside of Argentine. May be in some Embassy of Argentine in Ireland or with people with connections to the irish argentine community. My Cormacks also came from Taghshinny ( Carrickedmond ) it is in Co. Longford in the border to Co.Westmeath.
