Murtagh Family History
Recorded in various and diverse forms such as MacBrearty, McBrearty, McCurdy, McMurtyr, McMurthy, McMerty, MacMearty, O'Murtagh and Murtagh, this is an Irish surname. It is or rather was originally, generally specific only to the province of Ulster and the county of Donegal, where it is claimed to be a form of the Scottish MacMurdoch. The famous etymologist, the late Edward MacLysaght appeared to believe that it derived from the pre15th century Mac Muirchertaigh, meaning the son of the navigator, which would make it the same origin as the surname O'Murtagh, or the grandson of the navigator. If in fact the surname did originate from some (by medieval standards), far away place like Scotland, to be called the navigator, would seem to be a logical explanation for the meaning...Select Audience

patrick murtagh was my 3x great grandfather who was an irish soldier in the british army sometime in the 18th century when he was shipped to new zealand and settled in the south island of the country. he wrote a book called soldier to settler, which focussed on his experiences toward the title of the book.

Looking for information on Murtagh family in Albany and upstate New York. My grandmother was born there Doris Murtagh, but never talked about her family, so doing my families genealogy I have hit a roadblock

Hello Murtagh family. I am visiting Ireland and have been researching my Nana's family. Harriet Murtagh was born in NZ, her parents and older siblings were 'cleared' out of Scotland to Newcastle, Australia. They eventually made it to NZ. Gerald Joseph Murtagh was my great grandfather. I found this memorial plaque in Fore, County Meath. Anne was a family name handed down.
