BRIGGS family tree. Any Briggs out there????

Posted by Frances Morris (Briggs) <franicheers4u@hotmail.com> on Fri, 06 Aug 2004

I am trying to find out where the last name BRIGGS comes from in Ireland and if we have any family here in the US or in Ireland. My grandfather came to America in the 1800's as a 16 year old stowaway. His name was Ralph Briggs. As soon as he arrived in New York he changed his name to John Morris. He joined the United States Calvary and died in 1921 when my dad was only 5. My dad never met any of his Briggs relatives. He is in his 80's would love to know something about the BRIGGS family tree before he dies.

If anyone out there has the last name Briggs or knows anyone who does, please communicate with me ASAP.

Thank you.
