Terence Francis MacCarthy Biography

Terence Francis MacCarthy is one of the most popular and richest Genealogist who was born on January 21, 1957 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. Terence Francis MacCarthy (born 21 January 1957) previously self-styled as Tadhg V The MacCarthy Mor and Prince of Desmond and Lord of Kerslawny, is a historian, genealogist, and writer. He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and he is now a resident of Morocco. His name can be listed as McCarthy.

On January 28, 1992 The Irish Genealogical Office conferred courtesy Chief of the Name honors on Terence MacCarthy as the MacCarthy Mor The title of the head of the MacCarthy sept or clan. The title literally translates to “the great MacCarthy.” The MacCarthys were princes of Desmond and, earlier via their Eoghanacht of Cashel the Kings of Munster.

In 1996, Robert Gayre died and Terence MacCarthy assumed his position as President of the ICOC. For the next three years, he continued to use its offices, influence, and publications to lend credence to his nobiliary claims.

On a practical level, the issue was settled by two events. In August 1999, the Irish Genealogical Office nullified its previous recognition of Terence MacCarthy as the MacCarthy Mór. On 9 October 1999, after losing the support of the Niadh Nask, MacCarthy abdicated the title. His younger brother, Conor, claimed it. Barry Trant MacCarthy, a resident of England, applied for recognition under the title, but the Genealogical Office never made a decision on the matter. In 2003 the government discontinued the practice of granting courtesy recognition to Chiefs of the Name.

The investigation of the case became more difficult because of the inability by the Genealogical Office to release all documents that pertain to the 1992 acknowledgement. In addition, the Irish Freedom of Information Act of 1997 doesn’t apply retroactively, however documents related to the case prior to April 1998 were made available. Sean J. Murphy, an expert County Wicklow genealogist, has published online account of the MacCarthy Mor trial and also a complete book.
