Postings from the Newsgroup soc.genealogy.ireland:
According to MacLysaght in his "Surnames of Ireland", (O) Mullanphy,
from the Irish O Maolainbhthe, or O Maolanfadh ( Chief of the storm),
has a number of variant spellings beginning with Me - and Mo- as well
as Mu. It is seldom met outside north Co. Tipperary.
There is absolutely no connection given for the name to have ever
been Moloney, which in the Irish Gaelic is O Maoldhomhnaigh, meaning
'Servant of the Church' - a different name entirely.

> I am seaching for information on a Sarah Melampy/Melamphy of
Tipperary. Born 1820 - 1824 and was an assisted immigrant to Austalia
(Port Phillip Bay, Victoria). The Agricola left Cork in June 1841 and
arrived in Port Phillip in October 1841. Sarah married a John Hall in
1847. On the shipping list her occupation was listed as Housemaid,
Roman Catholic, she could read and her bounty was 19 pounds. Sarah
died in 1888 and her father's occupation was listed as Pig Dealer.
>
> From the information I have been able to gather so far
Melampy/Melamphy/Molomphy was an old name and has probably no longer
exists in Ireland. It may have reverted to Moloney. There are
Melamphy's in New Zealand and Canada.

Collen, HI. My name is Bill Anderson. My mother was Lorraine, your dad's baby sister.
Not being sure the outcome of this, I'll keep it short. If you want to know about the
Molamphys, contact our cousin Pat (Molamphy/Denver) Kastens.
I don't have her e-mail address right here, but I can get it.
Every year, for the past five or so, they host a family reunion, which has grown
each year, and has attracted family from all over the country. (Cousins John Richard,
Uncle Johnny's son, and his wife Virginia have come from the west coast for the past
couple of years.)
Pat has quite an extensive geneology of the Molamphy history, from Ireland to here,
through the U.S. and Canada. Very interesting.
If you can't reach her, contact me at william-c@centurytel.net and I'll forward anything you'd like.
in the meanwhile, God bless, and good luck. Bill. 8/23/03

Hello, Mr. Lewis,
I had given up finding anything else about my family. My great-grandparents were
Catherine Molamphy and Patrick Sullivan who were married in 1869 either in Ontario
or New York State, and subsequently settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Their second-youngest son, Thomas Rodger Sullivan, was my beloved and dearly
missed grandfather.
Thank you for entering this family on the internet - now to find where in
creation Patrick Sullivan originated... After almost 25 years of searching,
I still have NO clue!

Pat:
There were three unrelated Sullivan families in Osgoode Township from the 1840's
onward. One of the families were my ancestors. Mike Daley from Osgoode Township
has some correspondence with a lady from Pittsburgh who is descended from the
Molamphy / Sullivan families from Osgoode. I'll check with him later this week.
I know that several members of the Sullivan family went to work in the coal mines
or the steel works in the Pittsburgh area in the late 1800's. This was the time a
time of labour problems and strikes. One brother was in management and the other was
strong in the union.
