I have been trying for what seems to be forever to find any information on this most elusive family. I would so appreciate any help you might offer. <p>This is what I know:<p>Bridget was born to ? Regan and his wife, Hannah (or Honora) McCormick, probably in the late 1830's. She emigrated to the US (Brooklyn, NY) prior to 1864, at which time she married Edward Collins, formerly of County Mayo. She and Edward had 8 children; and she died 10 June 1884 at a relatively young age. Family tradition has it that Bridget had at least 6 sisters, but I only know of Ellen and Anne. Anne married Dennis Judge. You now know as much as I do of this 2nd great grandmother of mine!<p>Is there any hope for me? Thank you in advance for any information, or direction that you might point me in!

Her father was John Regan and is listed in Griffiths. She would have been born in the 1850s. She remained in Ireland.<br>
