For vital records from 1874-1897, search the Manhattan records.-Check these facts before ordering death certificate.The name Lundrigan is a variation of Lonergan, and the old Gaelic name was O'Longargain and was from County Tipperary. It was "ecclesiastical" in past- that is several O'Longargain's were priests.Oral tradition said that the father put the children in the school and took the two older brothers to go "shipbuilding" and would come back to pick them up. The brothers had biblical names, like Peter or Patrick.The 3 brothers that show up in directories are Michael, John and Patrick and Thomas, all biblical names.[Maybe these were Michael Sr.'s brothers...?]What year did vital records begin in Yonkers, NY?
