John Higgins from County Mayo, Colshima?

[J. Higgins]

Has anyone heard of a town called Colshima? (spelling?). My Great grandfather immigrated to New York and had five sons and a daughter. Some of the names are Thomas, Martin, Frank and Michael Joseph. Michael Joseph marrried a Bridgette Mahon in New York City.<p>

Your reply from John Shea is correct. I worked with a girl from Kiltamagh and the way you have spelt it is just the way She used to pronounce the name ! You will find Kiltamagh just to the right of Castlebar on the map. Best of luck. Fiona. <br>: Has anyone heard of a town called Colshima? (spelling?).
