McCabe Family

I have a Mary McCabe b 1829 who emigrated to Massachusetts from Count Cavan. I believe she had a brother, Matthew b1822, and looking for father named Edward McCabe b 1800.  Thanks for any help.

Hi Nicole!

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland for all of Ireland and did not find any baptismal records for either Peter or Matthew with the parents names provided. Likely they were baptized in a parish that no longer has records back to the 1850s. Civil registration of births did not begin until 1864. I also did not find a marriage record for Peter and Anna.

Do you have any other info on the family?

You could add the emigration story for young Peter McCabe to our XO Chronicles site and possibly someonew will see a connection  https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…

Have you considered DNA testing?

I think they also had a brother named Bernard 1834-1923, possibly coming to the US in 1849.

Nicole:

No luck finding Bernard either searching with a father named Peter.
