James was the first master harbor pilot in Charleston, SC. Anyinfo would be great if they are the same...

Good evening, Peg. Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I actually knew your Godmother. My family all referred to her as Aunt Anna, but she was actually my Grandfather's Aunt. I have vivd memories of visiting with her in her very small cottage at Moosic Lake near Scranton, PA. I'd love to exchange some family tree info with you and would like to know if you feel comfortable exchanging email addresses. I find this message board format is somewhat limiting. My email address is jdmnoj@aol.com. Feel free to use it. Have a good night. - Joe Schuler

My name is Peg McEvoy, and my grandmother, Catherine Mellody was your great, great grandmother’s sister. I got
your email address from Joyce Webster. I have gotten an abundance of information on the Mellody family from Joyce. It seems there were quite a few of them. Bridget and Patrick’s youngest daughter, Anna was my Godmother and I believe her brother James was my Godfather. I would love to hear from you and compare notes.

Hi. It was so great to hear from you. I would love to hear any information you might have on the Melody family. My Grandmother, Margaret (Bridgets sister) died in 1930 when a porch she was standing on collapsed. It basically chrushed all the bones in her body. Her husband Patrick Maloney gave my Dad, Edward Maloney and his brother Frank to their Aunt Helena and Uncle Frank Gaughan to raise. It is nice to hear from relatives on the Melody side:-)

Re: Patrick Igoe - Attymass & Scranton PA

jdmnoj — 2012-08-08 02:44:26Z

Patrick Igoe and Bridget Melody were my great-great-grandparents. Their daughter Mary Ellen was my great-grandmother and I had the privilege of knowing her when I was younger. Mary Ellen's oldest son, Thomas, is my grandfather. He is still alive and we'll be celebrating his 93rd birthday with him next week. Feel free to contact me for more information. - Joe Schuler

My father was Joseph Paul Igoe, born in Jersey City, NJ in 1925. His father was Joseph Michael Igoe--passed away when my father was young (probably around early 1930's) From what I have been told, the grandfather came to NY but wound up in Jersey City; I understand he owned two taverns there. If anyone has info relating to this Igoe family in Jersey City, I would love to hear ---

Re: Igo's from County Galway/County Roscommon

bonniedonna — 2012-02-03 19:26:26Z

One thing we do know is that Catherine Igo who left from Roscommon Ireland came to the USA with 6/7 sons and a daughter. The daughter was Ann J. Igo b approx 1821-1826 in Ireland who married Patrick Mcnamara born 1824+/- and married in 1844 in Ireland. The 6/7 sons/nephews all had names like John, Michael, Patrick which is why this is so very hard to determine. In our line Michael Igo born 1825 in Roscommon married Ann O'Neal born 1823-1825 Roscommon (married 1844 St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church Pottsville, Schuylkill, PA on October 10th.) Hope that helps somewhat.

I came across this web page today. My name is Jeff Igoe, I am from the Albany NY area as well. I am age 55 and currently live in Florida. My grandfather was Edward D. Igoe Sr. who spent his life in Albany. He died in 1993. His wife was Edith. He had a brother Tom and I believe another brother who died at a very young age. I don't know much about my family tree. If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: IGOE in Orange,NJ

kenrosegarden — 2011-08-14 02:43:02Z

Hi John, My gt. grandfather John Igoe was born 1850 in Muckenagh, Noughaval, Co. Westmeath on the shores of Lough Ree. He went first to Dublin where he met his future wife who
he married in London in 1872 (Mary Jane Watts). It seems his father was Lawrence Igoe and his mother was Julia/Judith
Cormick. She first married Heveran(Heffernan) so John is possibly Heffernan's son. I would like to hear what you can tell me to further my research. John's mother was Mary Doyle
and Julia's parents Michael Cormick and Bridget Geraghty.

I'm wondering if you have seen the family research for the Igo family in Schuykill Co., Pennsylvania that is available online through Family Search in digitized form. You can access it at www.familysearch.org by searching the Family History Library Catalog for Igo.

cinwin2005 — 2010-11-01 23:17:58Z

Michael,

I didn't have the opportunity to get off the trail. We were on a tour. Although a great tour, if I have the opportunity to return, I would like to take time in Tipperary to follow the Maher line, in County Laois for the Hyland lineage and of course Roscommon for the Igo family.

I noticed by your email address that you may be from Denver. My son just returned. He lived in Denver for two years. What a beautiful city, even though the traffic can be trying. There is something different about a commute when you can see the Rocky Mts.

Cheers!

Cindy

Cindy,

My father was born in Castlerea, Roscommon -- I don't know if you visited it. His father, Thomas, grandfather, John, greatgrandfather, Roger, lived on a small farm outside Glenamaddy, Galway, in a tiny hamlet called Leitra, which supposedly was formerly known as Milltown Igoe.

Re: Igo's from County Galway/County Roscommon

cinwin2005 — 2010-11-01 21:25:46Z

Thanks so much for your reply. You are correct we would need to go back to the 1830's. James Igo and Anne Solan were married in the 1860's in the US. Many of the Igo family lived in Schuylkill County. I have been in contact with some of them.

I was just in Ireland and traveled through Roscommon. Ireland is certainly a beautiful country!

Thanks again for your reply. I will post if I find any additional information.

Cindy

Re: Igo's from County Galway/County Roscommon

michaelindenver — 2010-11-01 17:14:16Z

Cindy,

I read your note with interest -- oddly, I had just come across a reference to the Schuylkill river on Thursday.

My father, Michael Joseph Igoe, was born in Roscommon in 1921 -- his family from northern Galway, Glennamaddy. He was the only member of his immediate family to have children.

Since I imagine all Irish Igoes and Igos are related I'm sure you and I are, but not (I think) in the last 100 years. My father grew up in Ireland and Scotland and lived in England. None of his Igoe relatives emigrated to America except his father Thomas Igoe who returned to Ireland and started a family there. I have accounted for his close male relatives and he was born in 1873 so I think to have any chance of a shared ancestor, we'd have to go back at least to 1850 and probably much further.

Re: Igo's from County Galway/County Roscommon

cinwin2005 — 2010-10-30 14:32:13Z

Hi,

I am the great great granddaughter of James Igo of Schuylkill County. My great grandmother was Mariah Igo, daughter of James Igo and Anne Solan. Mariah Igo married Thomas Hyland. My grandmother was their oldest female child. I have very little information regarding the Igo family and would appreciate any information that you can share.

Thanks,

Cindy W.

Re: IGOE in Orange,NJ

MimiV42 — 2010-08-05 15:05:43Z

Yes we are in California but my great-grandmother was an Igo from Philadelphia. We have been led to believe that both of her parents were of Irish origin and I have found her mothers family but have not yet been able to find her father. I have found several Irish Igos in the Census in Schuylkill, PA which would imply that they were miners and would probably explain why he died so young.

Thanks for your reply - my search continues

Re: IGOE in Orange,NJ

jmilist1 — 2010-08-05 11:17:15Z

Hello, and thanks for your questions.
There are a great number of IGOEs in Pennsylvania, particularly in the Scranton and WilkesBarre areas. As far as I know, none of them are related to me, and I am not in contact with anyone in that area. Not sure what you mean about "Irish Origin of the Igo's" .... I have some information which links the name "IGOE" to the Welsh name "YAGO," and "YAGO" is itself linked to the Spanish "IAGO" .. which is ultimately "JAMES" (as in Santiago). Hope this helps. Are you in the USA? I live near Baltimore.

Re: IGOE in Orange,NJ

MimiV42 — 2010-08-05 06:28:46Z

In your research have you found any Igo's in Pennsylvania? I am trying to track our Igo's from Philadelphia (and I suspect Schulkill) in the mid-late 1800's.

Also, do you have any information on the Irish Origin of the Igo's?

Thanks so much

Hi there

I have some Skupski's on my family tree, and believe the name to originate in Liverpool with John Skupski, who came here before 1898, as he married one of my gt gt aunt's.
They had some children, and I think this is where the name comes from in the North West.

Would love to hear back from anyone with info on other Skupski's.

Re: igoe /mcandrew in bonniconlin

BrianIgoe — 2010-02-05 16:52:59Z

Well, we come from the Bonniconlon area, and my Great Grandfather was named Francis, born there in 1845. My Grandfather John Igoe was born in 1873 which is closer to your Margaret Ellen. Griffiths Valuations, a survey done after the Famine, lists our Francis and two more, Michael and Patrick, all "farmers"in 1856. My Grandfather John had siblings Sarah, Patrick who died around 1940 in the USA, and Francis. As far as I know these are the only Bonniconlon Igoe's, so I guess we may be distant cousins!

Re: Igoe Family from Attymass, County Mayo

cloonfushpa1 — 2010-01-05 00:56:08Z

I was recently told that my greatgrandfather, James IGOE may originally been from Attymass and moved to Bonniconlon to marry Anne MCANDREW. Could this be the same James?

Re: IGOE in Orange,NJ

jmilist1 — 2009-09-19 14:18:53Z

Daniel,

Sorry for the delay in my reply.
Here is what I know about my IGOE ancestors... we are about the same age (I was born in 1948), and are fathers are about the same age (mine was born in 1919), so I think your grandfather and mine could have been brothers.

Michael John. Igoe (Grandpa) married Brigid Hoare (Nana) , his childhood neighbor, in Orange NJ, around 1915.
Their son, Michael Joseph Igoe, my father, was born In May 1919 in Orange.

The Hoare and Igoe homesteads are 2-3 miles west of Tarmonberry, between Tarmonberry and Scromage. They are on a small road just northwest of the Halfway Pub on the Tarmonberry=Strokestowne Road.

In 1984 the Hoare farm was owned y a British couple who were operating the farm as the "Halfway Hatchery".

A neighbor, Mr. Connor Igoe, said he was not a near relative but he remembers that Grandpa Igoe had a brother, Frank-Joe Igoe, who inherited the homestead in Roscommon. He was estranged from his wife, and he died in England in about 1920. His wife died in a convent in Longford, the homestead was sold and the house leveled. It was located next to the Hoare homestead.

My great grandmother was Mary Agnes Igoe Meehan Gabelhai from Kilgellia Attymas County Mayo. I am looking for marriage record to John C. Meehan (from Ohio) in 1901.

I was at the family homestead in 1997, and met with Barbara who was still living at the homestead with her daughter and son in law (Anne and Sean MacGowan, children Marian, Paul and Karen)

Barbara told me that the new house was built in 1982. Thomas Igoe (her brother ?) died in 1987. She said that Bridget had lived across the street and married Thomas.

Re: Igoe's Attymass

BergGinnie2 — 2009-08-15 02:48:24Z

Looking for the family of John and Bridget Igoe, from Ballina, County Mayo. They settled in Youngstown, Ohio, in the late 1800's but first met in Philadelphia, according to family history. John Joseph Igoe, born maybe Templetagen or Sligo in 1860-61. Bridget may have been born in Ballina, also 1861. Bridget left a sister, Mrs. James McManus in Ireland, and a sister Mrs.T J McLavery in Philadelphia.

Re: Igoes

DRFraser — 2009-08-06 13:09:13Z

Interesting my own connection to Igoe is through Michael Igoe and Ann O'Neal both from Rosscommon Ireland who went to Schuylkill PA and then to ND and on to MN. My Great Grandfather was James F Igoe who married Katherine Sherrin but as the Igoe's in my line went to Chicago IL wondered if there is some sort of connection any where?

Andrea,You have my sympathies on not being able to trace your "Igoe's" in Ireland, me too. I have my grandmother Eleanor,
born 1872 in London, dau. of John, born 1850, in Co. Westmeath
His father was a Lawrence whom I have traced through Griffiths
Valuation as coming from Muckenagh, Noughaval, Westmeath. The village of Glasson is near here. The Albany, N.Y. Igoe's come
from there. I have Lawrence's death in 1876,age 50 his wife was Julia MacCormack. It seems likely all John's brothers and
sisters went to New York around 1895. If you have anything to add please e-mail me direct at limey1ne@comcast.net
