My grandfather (so I recall) was born on or very near Achill Island. He emigrated to the USA, possibly via Canada, and settled in Cleveland, OH, USA. His wife was Mary Keating nee Madden (born 1905, died 1958). His son Hubert was born about 1930, also a daughter Mary Margaret or Margaret Mary (Peggy). He died in 1964.
Lastly, I was often told that the family name was Cattigan, and that grandfather entered through Ellis Island in New York -- but neither of these are known facts to me.
