Robert, do you know where your Higgins are from in Ireland? Mine are from the Oranmore area, just south of Galway city. My gg grandfather, Daniel Higgins, immigrated into New York in 1847 and settled in Waltham, Massachusetts. Unfortunately he died quite young and I haven't been able to locate any other siblings in the area. Amy CLASBY, HIGGINS, CONNAUGHTON, RYAN in Galway LEAHY, LOUGHLIN, HEALY, DRISCOLL in Cork
