Perhaps one of the wise folks on this list can confirm something for me. An 1894 NJ birth certificate showed the mother's name just too lightly. I have every reason to believe that her maiden name was CARBELLY. Long ago, I tried it on Ancestry.com, but hardly had any hits. Is anyone familiar with this surname, or is the spelling a smidgen off? Thanks in advance. Barb N of NYC ************** Access 350+ FREE radio stations anytime from anywhere on the web.

Could be CARBERY. From Edward MacLysaght, THE SURNAMES OF IRELAND, 6th ed. (Dublin, Ire. and Portland, OR: Irish Academic Press, 1999): "Carbery. The most important sept of this name was that of Clonlonan, as Map; a branch of it were erenaghs of Galloon, Co. Fermanagh. They were usually O Cairbre [accent on the O] in Irish, but Mac Cairbre was also used. The Carberys of Co. Waterford are distinct; they are Mac Cairbre; Ballymacarbry in that county locates them. The personal name Cairbre is said to have denoted charioteer, but this derivation is uncertain. MIF 51; Map Westmeath." MIF = see MORE IRISH FAMILIES Map Westmeath = surname map shows O Carberry (note double "r"s) in Westmeath, on the Offaly border, near the Roscommon border. HTH Claire K.
