Phil-most interesting. Over decades, I have been tracing my Tormeys (and I am listed amongst Michael's original researchers on the website) but the closest I have come to determining from whence my people originated, was due to the research of Marybeth Tormey Stevens (Another original researcher). Through her efforts, I learned that my Tormeys probably originated in the Archerstown, WM area. But I have come to know many Tormeys in the West Meath area ever since, though we cannot prove any direct relationship amonst ourselves. The nexttime we visit Ireland, we must stop by Tara and bid good day to the Tormey owner.
Best wishes, Larry Tormey
