On marriage records, George Carrigan is listed from County Donegal; my gg grandmother from County Roscommon. I have not found other relatives for George in Covington. The baptismal records for their children list several Burns/Byrne as godparents. Possibly a related group of Burns/Byrn travelled from County Roscommon. I probably have a lot of Burns relatives in Covington.
