Welcome!

This website is a work-in-process for a team of devoted O'Dochartaigh  (O'Doherty) members sharing and researching their common genealogy.  Each  being a descendant of Michael 'Mor' O'Dougherty born 1690 in the beautiful  Laggan Valley, Raphoe, Donegal, Ireland.  This branch of the O'Dochartaigh  family is indexed as Family Group #529.  Other family groups which are or may be connected with this family group are:  #639, #1074, and #1100.

This team is involved in a greater project, as well.  They are committed with  other teams to canvass the entire state of Kentucky for the purpose of  collecting all known genealogy information on all Dougherty/Daugherty who had  lived and is living in Kentucky.

As that project progresses, the team will specifically be focused on gleaning  new found information for this family's database.  If you find a family connection here, please contact the webmaster.  By sharing our family connections with each other, we strengthen the entire O'Dochartaigh family.

Michael 'Mor' Dougherty was a storekeeper of "Newlondon Derry", Chester Co,   PA having left Londonderry/Derry Ireland about 1730 with a large group of  Irish and Scots-Irish known as the Caldwell Settlement. About 1737/38 he moved  south and west with many of these people (Crockets, Pattons, Rogers, Clarks)  into the lands that were later to be called Kentucky.

Team leader of this project is Cheryl Borgen as appointed by the Executive Committee of the O'Dochartaigh Clann Association (www.odochartaigh.org)
