I'm trying to learn what happened to my grandfather's brother Stephen Kerrigan. I understand he was born in Co. Clare, Ireland, about 1867 and came to America, but then the trail ends. I found a Stephen Kerrigan who fits the description in Jersey City in the 1930 census, and a friend found his obituary in the Newark Evening News, which says he died July 22, 1941, but doesn't mention birthplace or siblings. My friend also says the Hudson County Family History Center has an index of the county death certificates, as well as copies of some of the actual certificates. Unfortunately, it's closed on Saturdays for two months, so she can't get there to look for me (I live in Illinois). Would some kind soul who lives near that FHC mind looking to see if the index, or the certificate itself, indicates Stephen's parents' names or place of birth? To request a certificate through the state, I understand I'd have to send $25 and then wait 3-4 months, and it might not even be the right Stephen Kerrigan. Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this mystery! Diane Culhane
