Records on my family in Albany, NY give various spellings of the name, but settled on Dignum by the late 1800s. My great grandfather was Michael and was a coachman for the Van Renssaelers. I believe Michael's father was John and that he had an uncle James. Siblings were James, Ann, Thomas, Patrick and John.

: :I am the great-grandaughter of John and Bridget Degnan who emigrated to the US from Ireland in, I believe, the 1890's. They crossed the US and settled in Yosemite, CA where they were the first white people to have a business-a bakery-there. They had eight children, one of which was my grandfather, Christopher. We know no relatives outside of our immediate family with the name Degnan, but have heard that others that have emigrated settled in Kentucky. <br>: : : I am trying to find my Irish ancestors and am looking for information regarding Thomas Dagnan who came to America in 185?..with his brother Michael..Thomas was the 7th of a 7th son and it was said the family were miners..Can anyone help?<p>: : I am researching "Dignum" from Roscommon, but have been unable to narrow my search due to lack of information.
