This page contains downloadable standard genealogy reports about the Dunlaveys, McInerneys, Mahoneys and Hassetts. Each report begins with the earliest known ancestor. The information presented represents the best current knowledge of the ancestral trees, and is the result of many hours of work and research by various family members. Special thanks to Nancy Egan Webster, Peggy Curry, Rob Dunlavey, Suzanne Dickenson, and, of course, Justin and Peggy Dunlavey for their significant contributions. Without them, this store of information wouldn't exist! This is a work in progress, based in large part upon people's memories, and is likely to contain some errors. Information about the earliest known ancestors will, of course, likely be the sketchiest. We will update the site with newer and more accurate information as it becomes available.

Dunlavey Genealogy Report Updated 1/24/2004	Click on picture for larger image	The Dunlaveys The Dunlavey side of the family begins in approximately 1802 with Denis Dunlavy (note alternate spelling!) who joined the Union Army at the age of 63(!) during the American Civil War. The name is thought to have originated from Mac Duinnshléibhe or Donnshléibhe ("Lord of the Brown Mountain"), with the family originating in the area of County Down and County Antrim as a remnant of the ancient inhabitants of Ulster. They were subsequently pushed out of this area by the Normans and scattered widely, with the main branch settling in what are now Co. Donegal, Co. Mayo, Co. Galway, and Co. Sligo. Denis Dunlavy stated his birthplace as Birr, Co. Offaly.

The McInerney side begins with the father of Patrick McInerney (name unknown) sometime prior to 1824. The name is thought to have originated from Mac an Oirchinnigh ("Son of the Erenagh"- or "Custodian"), custodians of church lands. Variants include Nerney and McNerney, and today the name is concentrated in Co. Clare (must be where we get our musical talents from!).
