Need Harkins info from Irish side on American emigrants before 1800
Looking for some still existing Harkins in Ireland who may be able to find and furnish info on where some of the early Harkins originated (as others have said, this is probably NW Ireland), and their relationship to each other.
Hoping some parish records may still be around.
My own (supposed story) ancestor is Walter Harkins, who came to SC in 1788 at age 12.Other immigrants came in independently, something like (at least) 6-8, but mostly somewhat after 1800, scattered up the Atlantic coast, on into Nova Scotia (based on various postings).
thanks in advance for any clues,
ernie harkins
