Thank you for responding. Looks like we may have the same tree somehow. After talking to
my Mom she asked me to mention that her Carrigans did marry into O'Briens. I believe
it is Mom's Grandparents. Anyway, if the Walter Carrigan you mention lived in Seattle,
Washington and was unmarried, then it probably is the same.
She also asked me to mention a Gene O'Brien who she thinks was in the Engineering
business in Atlanta, Georgia.
Lets see now - Dougald Carrigan[Walter's father]married Mary Jane O'Brien who is
the Daughter of Patrick and Mary O'Brien. I believe they are all from
Antigonish\Pictou\Westville area of Nova Scotia.
My notes also say that Mary Jane O'Brien had brothers Gene[Atlanta] and John
O'Brien[Rhode Island].
So we may not be the same branch but it looks like the same tree! Let me know if these
names sound familiar and hope we can help each other fill in some blanks.
Happy Hunting,
Richard Ward
