I'M TRYING TO FIND INFORMATION ABOUT MY GRANDPARENTS MICHAEL AND CATHERINE MADIGAN. AT LEAST ONE OF THEM CAME OVER FROM IRELAND. THEY HAD 3 CHILDREN MYLES,HELEN AND MY FATHER JOHN.CATHERINES MAIDEN NAME WAS OKEEFE HER MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME WAS MURPHY. I HAVE REASON TO BELEIVE THAT THEY WERE FROM LIMERICK SHANAGOLDEN?
WHAT I NEED THE MOST IS THE CONNECTION FROM IRELAND TO THE US. BOTH OF MY GRANDPARENTS HAD SEVERAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND ACCORDING TO SOME INFO. IN A LETTER FROM MY DECEASED AUNT THERE WERE TONS OF COUSINS
THERE IS ALSO AN REFERENCE TO A MRS MARY F. MEAGHER ON PRAIRIE AVE IN CHICAGO.
ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS FOR A STARTING POINT WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANKS EVERYONE AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU IN YOUR SEARCH.
