My Kiggin family seem to originate in Galway, southern Ireland, although I have found no direct evidence to suggest that they do. However, this is not for want of trying. I have contacted both east and west Galway Family History Societies and they inform me that they have kiggins residing in that area. It seems that records have either been destroyed or not open to the public at this moment in time. Census have been no help either. Suffice it to say that kiggins is a name that is situated in the Connamara area and the name is related to Joyce.
I would be happy for Marrissa to contact me at
sytully@aol.com to swop any information.
