Finnigan/Finigan's in the Area-Mountcollins, Ireland
Good day,
My family history seems to have hit a dead end a few years ago. My grandfather said in a small town, outside of Limerick. But I have never found any evidence.
Looking for a possible Denis/Dennis or Michael Finnigan born approx 1791. I was told parents were Emily and Patrick-but that could be a myth. There was a brother John or Byron. They settled in Freeport, Nova Scotia back around 1825, where there is evidence that they are on a land deed. These Finigans' were Baptist in the new land, not RC, but could have been RC originally.
DNA now indicates a possible match with some folks in this area of Ireland. Some placenames are Ballybeg, Seconglass, Ballycomane..
Anyhow, any information would be great that I can dig deeper in.
Many thanks,
Susan
