Hi, Barbara. The farthest I have been able to track my Tormey line back is my great-great-great grandfather, Patrick Tormey (1796-1852), who was born in Athleague, Roscommon. (See
http://www.tormeyclan.com/patricktormey.htm.) My goal, of course, is to find a connection to other Tormeys from the area, but as of yet, I have not yet been able to link him to any other Tormeys in Athleague or Roscommon. (At this point, I don't even know the names of his parents.) I would welcome any leads or clues anyone can provide.
