I am sending this both for Sharon Centanne for "Maher" and juniorrocks8@juno.com for "Meyer". I have Patrick Maher b. 1826, married to Honora b. 1831. That is as far back as I go with them. They had two daughters, but no sons, and thus, no one carrying the name. The family, when the girls were grown, identified themselves with the last name "Meaher." The first daughter Catherine (1857 - 5 Dec 1896) married Thomas Burns (18 Jul 1855 - ) on 20 Apr 1874. I have numerous descendents from them. The other daughter of Patrick and Honora Maher is Margaret (1861 - ) married James B. Keenan (1857 - ) 17 Jan 1881. I have not found any children. The Meaher girls with many of the Burnses share a tomb in Metairie Cemetery with the Keenans. Though I see that the Meyers are most probably German and the Meahers are most probably Irish, it is interesting that the names sound alike.

Hi Joan, Have you checked the Tithe Applotment books in Ireland for Maher? Have you checked the origin of the name with Edward MacLysaght's Irish Families, More Irish Families and Supplement to Irish Families series on surnames? Have you checked any surname maps of Ireland to located the county of origin? These resources help you locate the exact townland, civil parish, barony, etc. in Ireland. Maher and Meyer do sound a lot alike. There were Germans who moved to Ireland in the 1800s. You need to check the surname origins to see if it is the same name or if Maher has an Irish origin. I have many Irish and German ancestors and have been trying to track them down for almost 30 years. I will send you what I have off list, as the families are living.
