Posted on: HALLIGAN Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/h/a/HALLIGAN/queries/10008 Surname: Halligan, Cope ------------------------- Steve; Came across your query. While I do not know of a Pittsburgh connection, I have noticed a commonality of the men in my branch of the family that doesn't apply to others. All the men have either a first or middle name of William, James, or John. I have traced this back even to gravestones in Drogheda, Ireland where my great-gran da came from. Probably a worthless bit of information for you, but perhaps there is some connection here, as all the men mentioned in you letter have those names! Kip John Halligan
