Title: Duggan/Burchill
Post by: macah on Tuesday 23 August 16 22:48 BST (UK)

Cornelius Duggan m Mary E Burchill, 1880 in Boston.  I have located birth records for their children.
They lived in Quincy until their deaths.   Is there any way to track them down to today.  I have had little success up to now.

There is a public tree on ancestry which could be very helpful in your search. It appears to be well sourced

Thank you for the swift response.  Yes, this is the family.  I have this info but have failed to progress further.   There was also a Patrick Sarsfield who died in infancy.  I have found some poems written by Cornelius M and would love to be able to make contact with the current generation, if there are any descendants.

I think you need to make contact with Mochen, the owner of the public tree on ancestry that I found. She has the descendants of Cornelius Francis Duggan (1893) who married Marjorie Penniman Chouinard. There are 5 children to this couple with their births, deaths and marriages and their descendants.
There are also descendants of the other children of Cornelius and Mary. Far too many to list here and many of them listed as private so still alive.
If you need access to ancestry there is a free version at many public libraries. Yours may have it.
