My maiden name was Ann Marie (Nancy) Kerrigan and I was born in South Boston to John Francis Kerrigan and Marie Eleanor MacDonnell. My grandfather, William Kerrigan immigrated from County Leitrim in 1878 and married my grandmother Sarah Donnellan of County Clare. They bought a house at 363 Dorchester Street, South Boston in the early 1900. I never knew any other Kerrigan's in the South Boston area. I have been unable to trace my grandfather, William Kerrigan to County Leitrim and wonder if the family moved from another part of Ireland. In the six times I have traveled to Ireland researching my family, I have been able to trace the MacDonnell's/McDonnell's and the Donnellan's but no luck with the Kerrigan's. Do you have any additional information on the County Cork Kerrigan's? Nancy

They did a really wonderful job.
About ten years ago, I requested a preliminary search for a very small fee. I don't know what it is today but at the time it was $25 US and they gave me some great information, including my great-grandfather's parents names and confirmed my great-grandfather's siblings births. I already had Martin's birth certificate through an LDS microfilm for Westport.
The preliminary search also lets you know if they have enough information there to do a full search, which they said they did but recommended that I find Mary O'Malley's mother's maiden name.
I was able to find out that Mary's (my great-great-grandmother's) mother's name was Elizabeth Winters, and they also did research on the Winters line also.
The full search was $350 US which included a hard bound book, and they allowed payment by a US check.
It took a little longer than expected but was very much worth the wait, and made this Kerrigan family very happy! I ordered an extra book for my Dad and just gave it to him as a birthday gift and he was just thrilled. It included the Kerrigan coat of arms, a history of the Kerrigan name, and some copies of the 1901 census, as well as the family information they found, referenced to RC church records and civil records.
Hope this helps!
