Dear Maurice Woolsoncroft,
Greetings,
I have been researching for at least 45 years or more and am 73 in February and I worked with my father and his cousin Patrick Chandler on this. Pat recently died and Dad died in 1989. He was born in 1892.You can find many of Patricks posts on McCarty forums. He was a thorough researcher.
My recall is that the split in the McCarthy(McCarty) lineage came some centuries ago. No doubt that the McCarthy,s and McCarty's were closely related way back when but it seems that our branch migrated Lowland Scotland centuries ago.
One of the best treatises on this is the Book :The SCOTCH-IRISH a social history by James G Leyburn. Have you had the chance to read his book?
I appreciate the information re the Boyd Family etc. I will keep this on file for future reference.
I hope to do a dna test before long.
bestregards,
Ned T. McCarty
