For an interesting read on how people from Upperchurch emigrated and settled in New York state I would recommend you visit the Upperchurch connections web page http://www.mcgrathsearch.com/index2.html
“Several years ago a list entitled The Ryans of Central New York was circulated on the Internet. Since that time more families have been found and more connections established. Although Ryan is still the most numerous surname the organizing theme has been broadened to one on the Upperchurch area of Co. Tipperary. One by one all of the families on that list have been traced back to the Upperchurch area.
They arrived over an extended period of time but they all settled in the tri-county area in central New York State where the counties of Onondaga, Cortland and Madison come together. The list of names is growing and it currently includes: BURKE, CAREY. DUGGAN, DWYER, GLEASON, HAYES, HEFFERNAN, KENNEDY, LEE, LONERGAN, LONG, MALONEY, McAULIFFE,McGRATH, PHELAN, SHANAHAN, SHEAHAN and RYAN.”
