Looking for the Ferrigan Family. John Ferrigan born abt. 1833 immigrated to the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvainia,USA around 1844. He became a US citizen in 1858 and got married in 1860 to a Mary Dugan. There is no record of where John came from except he was born in Ireland. Where should I start to look online? It is so confusing. Any help or direction would be appreciated.
