Your name comes up on several of my queries. I can't remember exactly which names but I've seen your name several times. The names I'm researching are Father's side: HALLIGAN, CORRIGAN, DOYLE, COYNE, HEGER,(GAVAGAN was listed as a stepbrother to Wilma HEGER in an obit), MACCAFFERTY, Mother's side: NAYLON, GEORGE, TOIVONEN, STEVENS, GOOS. I think it's my father's side you keep showing up on. Do any of these names sound familiar. Colleen

Sorry to say that none of your surnames rang a bell; however, I am very limited as to my familiararity with names related to GAVAGAN. In Ireland, GGGrandfather Thomas married Elizabeth BEIRN (1812), but her name was changed to Burns here in the U.S. Their son, Robert (b.1830), my Irish immigrant ancestor, married Mary Agnes LYNCH in Boston in 1859, but from there I can only trace my GAVAGAN lines through their son, Thomas, my grandfather (b.1876), who moved from Boston to Providence, RI. Wish I could be more helpful, but I'd need some dates to give me a time line.

Hello, I was reading old posts on the Ancestery site, and saw a post with the names, CORRIGAN and DOYLE.
My great grandfather was John Patrick Corrigan and his wife was Helen(ellen) Doyle.They were from St Louis, MO.
Could these be your common names you are looking for?
I will be happy to correspond, it they are related.
