Alberto, Thanks for the information. Your English is fine (a lot better than my Spanish!) I have been corresponding with a Moughty descendant in Buenos Aires and have also read the Coughlan book. With regard to your Cormacks, I don't have much additional information other than Thomas McCormack who married Mary Moughty was the son of Hugh McCormack. They were married in the parish church of Ballinicurra in 1907, and that Hugh had died before 1907. When I visited Ireland this past February, I visited with some of the McCormacks who live in Ballymahon, Longford and Moyvore, Westmeath. They don't know a lot about their ancestors. Regards...
