Hegarty from Kilcar--the "Billy" clan
My family is Hegarty from Kilcar, known in Kilcar as "the Billies." My Grandfather, James Hegarty--born 1908--moved from Kilcar to Brooklyn in the late 1920s. He married Mary Boyle of Straleel. He had two brothers--Michael (also moved to Brooklyn) and Francis (stayed in Kilcar). Their father's name was William Hegarty--hence the name Billy for the clan. this is all I know but would like to learn more.
