Author: DianeCulhane Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.arm.general/9275.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Griffith's index on failteromhat.com doesn't show any McGarritys, but MacLysaght says the name is a variant of McGeraghty, which failteromhat shows as mostly in Tyrone. It also shows Pettigrew mostly in Down and Antrim. You might post to those county lists and boards, and also see if there are surname lists and boards.
