Where did they come from? Part 1: Hallinans & Laracys.

With the exception of one family, the Hallinan & Mooney ancestors can be traced to Ireland. (The exception is the Morris family. More about them later.) Given the significant gaps in 19th-century (and earlier) records, getting more specific than "Ireland" isn't always possible. Still, for most of the immigrant ancestral units it's possible to identify at least a county of origin, and for some we can cite even more precise locations.
