Prospect, Nova Scotia was settled between 1795 & 1805, with most of the people coming from Ireland. My first ancestor was Michael Higgins who married Catherine Downs, but I don't know if that was in Ireland or Nova Scotia. His son John, moved to Herring Cove and married a Mary Rhyno, their son William, who was my Great-grandfather move to Ketch Harbour, NS and was married to Catherine Fagan and was dround fishing in 1896. My problem is that I don't know where they came from in Ireland. I know the Higgins' may have come from Galway or Roscommon and I know that I should have the exact place or parish they came from in Ireland, but I don't know this. Is the situation hopeless??? If anyone could help to give advise on how to find where they came from, please let me know.
