Looking for any info on the surname GEHEGAN

Surnames: Gehegan
I'm seeking any info on the GEHEGAN name. The origin is unknown. My mother's maiden name was Gehegan and the only info that we have is her great-grandparents came to America from Ireland. This is NOT a COMMON name. We would greatly appreciate any info. Thanks.

Hi
I also have been trying to research the Gehegan name. What was you mothers first name and do you know the name of your grandparents? I have some info but I don't know if it is the same bloodline that I have traced. You would be surprised how many Gehegans there are out there.

My mothers name is Carol her maiden name is Gehegan. Her father was Otis Ervin Gehegan. The Gehegans I'm looking for came from Ireland. My great-gr grandfather was Pete Gehegan born abt 1880 in La. His mother and Father were born in Ireland. I have been looking for any Gehegans and have been unable to find alot of info. If there are alot of Gehegans we still must be related because Gehegan is a extremely rare name in the United States.

My mother-in-law's maiden hame if Gehegan. We are in Louisiana. She knows absolutely nothing about her father, Oscar Gehegan, who left her mother, Edna Odelia (Norred), when my mother-in-law was a small child. My mother-in-law was born in 1930. I have searched the internet on different genealogy websites looking for an Oscar Gehegan, with no luck. I believe he may have had a sister named Thelma.

Yes I am related to the same set of Gehegans'. Thelma was my great great Aunt. My grandfather on my maternal side was a Gehegan. What part of Louisiana do you live in? The Gehegans set up residence in Springfield and Livingston.

My husband and I live in Gretna. His family -- Allen Murlee McDonald and Effie Rose (Gehegan) McDonald lived in Algiers, La. My husband's sister has been trying to find information on her maternal grandfather but have been totally unsuccessful.

My understanding from my mother-in-law is that Thelma Gehegan married either William or Randolph Norred. Her brother, Oscar was my husband's paternal grandfather and we have no information on him. My mother-in-law believes that he died in Louisiana while she and her husband lived in Oklahoma -- possibly around 1952. I have checked all cemetery records for Livingston Parish and find no record of an Oscar Gehegan.

My e-mail address is lois236@cox.net and would be interested in any information you might have. I've been working on genealogy for my husband's family for several years and have quite a bit of information on the paternal side -- the McDonalds from Livingston Parish, going back to the 1700s, but could get no further than the last century with the Gehegan/Norred family.

The surnames in my husbands family are: McDonald, Stewart, Justice (Justus), Gehegan, Norred, and Allen.
Thanks.
