LEARY Family History

O'Leary is a common Irish name, an anglicized version of the original spelling 'O Laoghaire' or 'O Laoire.' Early records of the name L?egaire mac N?ill are from Tara where High-King Laoghaire, a member of the U? N?ill clan, became the first Christian king of Ireland in 432 AD.

Leary

I've recently discovered through DNA testing that I'm related to the Leary's in Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland. My great, great grandad was John Leary b.1845 married to Mary Purcell. So far I've found baptism and birth records for 10 of their children. I'm interested in any information on the Leary descendants.
