I will ask my brother Ed to test for our family. We are trying to trace our Carrigan branch to Ireland. Here's what we have so far; any relatives or those with info, please reply!!

my father, Edward James Carrigan, born 5/1/17 in Idaho;
Ed's father, Alexander Clark Carrigan, born in 1884 in Arkansas (Little Rock, we think); married Irene Crowell of Lewiston, Idaho; lived in Juneau and Seattle, died in Seattle about 1943;
Alex's father, John Carrigan, born 1851, in Pennsylvania, married Mary Clark in Arkansas, moved to Seattle at the turn of the century, worked as a miner;
John's father was a Joseph Carrigan, born in Ireland per John's death certificate, but I have no further information.

Would love to make the leap to Ireland if anyone can help. Thanks, Lynn
