My name is Richard Madigan. Maggie is my great great grand aunt on my mother's side. My mother -maiden name Shea - is daughter to Nora - maiden name Madigan and niece to Maggie Madigan.

In his words, at the time Maggie Madigan left Ireland, there were approximately 500 houses with the name Madigan between the west of Clare County and of Limerick.
