The Surname LEAHY is originated in Munster Ireland, which from the sixteenth century has been associated with the Counties Cork, Tipperary, and Kerry. Our LEAHY'S were natives of Limerick. Notable bearers of the name include the Artist and portrait painter Edward Daniel Leahy [1797- 1875]   The Most reverend Patrick Leahy, Archbishop of Cashel who built the cathedral at Churels. The Coat of Arms  Opposite, were awarded to Francis Robert Leahy, of County Cork. The Oldest Leahy Ancestor I have Traced todate is Martin Born About 1820 A lot of civil records in Ireland were distroyed in a fire in 1921 and RC church records for the parish I'm researching are closed

The Leahy “Motto is Tout vient de Dieu”. Translation “Everything comes from God”
