Having converged on the United States of America seeking opportunity in the mid to late 19th century from England, Ireland, and Germany, the various branches of our family settled in the New York area in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Jersey City, NJ. After years of various socio-economic changes effecting the area, our immediate ancestors settled in Northern New Jersey (Bergen County) and embraced the suburban life in an effort to establish a better living standard for their loved ones.
This page is dedicated to the memory of Joseph Francis (Jr.) and Jeanne Ann (Lutzen) Calligan who passed through heaven's gates in the Summer of 2004 and the generations that preceded them as well as generations to come. For their lives, dedication and steadfastness, Lord, we are truly thankful.
