Dear Kathy Wood: My grandfather, Michael Durkin, was an Irish immigrant from Sligo. He was the son and last child of Philip and Catherine Durcan, who were married on February 8, 1849, in Kilmacteige, Sligo. In the records of the Church of latter Day Saints, I found the birth entries for all Michael's borthers and sisters except for Michael! The brothers and sisters were Luke (born 1860), Pat (borth 1850) Bridget (born 1858), Atty (both 1857, and Winnifred (not birth date). [I'm sorry these are in the wrong order.] According to oral history, Luke came to the U.S., but he did not marry and had no descendants. Winnifred and Bridget came to the Salem/Peabody, Massachusetts area. I'm unclear about Pat and Atty. I think Atty stayed in Ireland. Michael married Bridget (Delia) Marrin (or Marren) on October 12, 1898. One of their children, Philip, was my father. I doubt that this information will be helpful, but I'm sending it just in case.
