Greetings! My ancestors came from Co Laois to Livingston Co, Michigan in 1830. Because of relative early births and their early emigration from Ireland, I'm having difficulties linking them to a town or parish in Co Laois. Cornelius BERGIN (b abt 1788) and Elizabeth STRINGER (b abt 1792) were the parents of : Patrick BERGIN, b 11 Mar 1814 in Co Laois Daniel BERGIN, b 1 Jun 1816 in Co Laois Michael BERGIN, b 24 May 1819 in Co Laois Cornelius BERGIN, b abt 1825 in Co Laois (on US censuses, Cornelius is listed as insane) If anyone has any insights to this family, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Daniel Powers Albuquerque NM
