Tinwhistle's Place

I put this page together
because I found it difficult
to find information on
the Heffernan name.

This is my great
grandfather and
his family, the picture
was taken around 1910 in
Galveston, Texas.

Mike was born in Cashel,
County Tipperary, and immigrated to Galveston, Texas, USA

ANNIE FORREY HEFFERNAN, MIKE HEFFERNAN
(children)
FRANK (Buster), JOSEPH, and PHILIP

THE GREAT STORM OF 1900
DESTROYED MOST OF THE IMMIGRATION
INFORMATION STORED IN
THE GALVESTON CITY HALL,
SO MOST OF THE INFO I HAVE IS WHAT
MY FATHER (JOHN J HEFFERNAN SR.) CAN
REMEMBER ABOUT HIS IMMEDIATE
FAMILY.

This picture is from the Texas State Library and was taken from atop a
pile of debris - there are no hills on Galveston Island.
Check the Storm site.
