For those of you who don't know us personally, Jack died in June 2023. I'm leaving his pages here because he was SO PROUD of his
family and his heritage. Jack Sr, who died in 2003, instilled this love of family in his children and, for that, I'm eternally
grateful. Jack had to live without his dad for 20 years but he and I were married for 33 years. I love you with all my heart, Babe, see you in Heaven.
I put this page together
because I found it difficult
to find information on
the Heffernan name.
Annie Forrey Heffernan, Mike Heffernan
(children)
Frank (Buster), Joseph, and Philip
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.
The Great Storm of 1900
destroyed much of the immigration
information stored in
the Galveston city hall,
so some of the info I have is what
my father (John J Heffernan) can
remember about his 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.
