This may be a repeaat msg in response to info re Michael Degnan. My greatgrandfather was probably Hugh Degnan who married Mary Ryan, they immigrated to the US during the famine and settled in Wilkes Barre, Pa. I do not know anything about their siblings.Their son, Martin married my grandmother Margaret nee Meehan and they had nine children,none named Michael.Martin was killed in a mining accident in 1908 and my grandmother raised her 9 children in WB. My father James Martin and his brother Martin Leo went to NY to live.There are many Degnan cousins in WB, NY,Ct and other Degnans throughout the US.I will post you a msg if I come across a Michael in my research.
