OK, it gets confusing. But, my Heslin family and Igo family married in Ireland in 1836. Rosanna Heslin, sister of my Thomas Heslin, and first cousin of Thomas Igo (son of Mary Heslin and Daniel Igo) also married a Murphy, who was also from Longford, in NYC in the 1870's.
They were all related, 2nd and 3rd cousins, but lived within a few blocks of each other, sometimes with each other, in lower Manhattan from 1870-1890. They formed a life line for other cousins newly arrived from Longford, through which they passed on they way to their final destinations.
