I am searching for any information about my Great Grandfather. The only information I have is that he was from County Longford, Ireland and was born in 1824. He immigrated to the United States and settled in Fennimore, WI. He had 9 children. My Grandfather Harold Tormey was born in Fennimore, WI in 1898 and then moved to Mitchell, South Dakota. I would like to know if anyone knows of my Great Grandfather or Grandfather and their family history. Thank-you

Comments:
Hi: A woman named Luella Mina Clair (my maternal grandmother's 1st cousin) married a Patrick H. Tormey in Richland Center, Wis. on 05-Feb-1892. He was the son of John and Leila Tormey. His death record indicates he was born in Galway, Ireland and his parents were also born in Ireland. He died in 1899/1900 (in Richland Co.) of Addison's disease. His death record indicates that the couple had divorced by the time of his death. I don't know (at this point) if the couple had any children or not. I'd be happy to exchange details with anyone for whom this might be a 'fit'. Best regards - Kipp -

Comments:
After seeing all the different names it seems weird that the same names are used time and time again. "James, Edward, John, Frank, David, Michael" are all shared by my immediate family. As for the name "Tormey" I have so far discovered that it is a Norse personal name, but unsure of origins.

I am the great granddaughter of John Tormey and Mary Finnegan. He had a brother Martin that I know of. (looking for more info) His son Martin was my grandfather. Martin had brothers John, Patrick, Michael, Thomas, and sisters Mary and Bridget. All were born n in Ireland except Mary. They came to U.S. in 1875 and settled first with Johns brother Martin in Marshall Township in Wi. and later in Dayton Township (all in Richland County. It seems the majority of Tormeys came from Westmeath which leads me to belie e I will find Johns roots there. but after he was married (first to Salia or (Sarah) Mitchell and then to Mary Finnegan, I find him in Islands East (Galway County). I am unable to find any church records during the time he would have married.1850's and again a out 1870. If any of this sounds familiar, please e-mail to wpohberg@juno.com so we can talk. I would like to visit Ireland next year and have as much info as possible. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm a Boy Scout working on my Eagle project, and it is to trace the descendants of William W. Cole and his wife, Carrie Weston-Cole, who donated the cabin we use for our meetings. The living descendants will then come to the cabin and have a ceremony and they will see the cabin, and how we use it.

The Tormey I'm interested in tracing is a Michael S. Tormey born in Galway - date unknown - died in Aberdeen, SD November 26, 1941. He was married to Mary Margaret McNeary (sister to my grandmother). He was also previously married but I'm not sure to whom. From this marriage he had 2 daughters, Marie & Loraine. Daughters were born in 1888 and 1890. Just wondering if anyone has come across this Michael S. Tormey.

Hi, I've just started researching my family tree. I know that James was born 20 Sept 1887 and married Mary Malloy who was born 27 Apr 1884.

I'll have more once I get copies of SSN apps. Have you run across any of these people in your research? Thanks! Kelly

Was told about this website from a cousin in Florida, so I thought I would check it out. I do have some pictures of the Tormey Family. My mother was Eleanor Tormey, descendant of the LaTourette's on Staten Island. I also have a copy of the Last Will an Testament of David LaTourette, but that information is more of my grandmother's side. Tormey name of course was my grandfather. I always heard the story that his parents left Ireland, and just by chance he was born in England.

Are you researching Tormey genealogy? How long?: no, because it's impossible to even find the name Tormey listed in any book as being Irish
Do you know where in Ireland your Tormey ancestors are originally from?: my grandfather was born in Kells, and as far as I know.  There are still Tormeys there.

Comments:
I really enjoyed looking through this site.  Previously, any search for the name Tormey has resulted in a blank. At primary school my teachers repeatedly said that Tormey was not an Irish name, or was simply Toomey or Twomey misspelled.  If anyone knows of  ways to effectuate such searches on Irish Tormeys could they please let me know. I cant wait to tell my dad and brother about this site. Well done.
