I hope to find the original home of my Irish ancestors, and to visit in 2023!

Please help me find records on my 2nd great grandparents! 

James McGonigle was my 2nd great grandfather. He was born 1835 or 1836 possibly in Ballymoney Parish. He was baptized January 21. He was married in 1856 to Grace, unknown maiden name. They were married in Ballyshannon, Donegal. Grace was born 1835 in Ireland and died September 6, 1878 in Brooklyn, New York. 

James's parents may have been Edward McGonigle (1800-1880) and Elizabeth Holland or Trolland. They were married in 1830. Edward's parents may have been Felix (born circa 1780) and Mary.
