A note on Haigneys
This Irish surname is derived from the Gaelic Ó h-Éignigh, and has been anglicized from here to kingdom come and back. Therefore, in addition to "Haigneys", you can find Heagneys, Higneys, Hagneys, Heighneys, Hegneys, Haighneys and Heigneys, for starters. And that's before the census takers in the New York counties of Albany, Rensselaer and Kings started in on it. (My great-great grandfather Martin has been listed as "Haggemy" and "Halgely.")
The Irish Times has a pretty nifty surname search chart about the Irish occurrences of this name, noting that the Haigney spelling variant is extremely rare.
Also, if you're truly addicted to name variations, check out this chart from the Irish Family History Foundation. Fun! Laughs! Census mayhem!
My Haigney line came to America circa 1850 with Martin, my great-great-grandfather. When Martin enlisted in the U.S. Army to work in the arsenal in Watervliet, New York, he told the registrar he had been born in Tipperary. Exactly where, I am still not sure, but I'm working on it. Circumstantial evidence [i.e., migration patterns detected in many Irish families who ended up in the Troy/Watervliet area] may point to North Tipperary.
Martin lived until 1911, remaining in upstate New York most of his life. In about 1900, two of his sons, including my great-grandfather, Joseph, started spelling their name consistently as "Haigney" (thank goodness), and relocated to Brooklyn. That is where most of these Haigneys stayed until World War II, after which a bunch of us started migrating to the suburbs of New Jersey and Long Island, although a core group is still in Brooklyn.
By now I'm used to having people mispronounce and misspell my surname in creative ways, and also to being asked if I'm sure it's really Irish. (In Ireland, even!) It's all part of what makes family history research a lot more entertaining than you'd think.
If you are a Haigney family researcher (or Higney/Heigney/oh, you get the picture) and want to swap war stories, feel free to contact me at email@example.com. My other Irish surnames of interest include Kelleher, Kearney (or Carney) and McKenna in Brooklyn; Connors, Mahon/McMahon and Roche in the Troy/Watervliet area.

Hi all – it s HAY – G – KNEE – Nick Haigney in Kent in the UK (brother of Di) – my cousin Carl Haigney has done a fair bit of research into the UK Haigney family tree in the past if you want to join up. There are Haigneys in UK, Ireland, Australia and NZ too.
My son Ryan Nicholas Haigney (11 years old) has a school project to do about the origin of his Haigney name. Unfortunately most anyone who could answer questions related to the inquiry have passed. What I do know is that his dad James Haigney was born in Brooklyn, NY. 1968. His father Gerald Haigney was born in Brooklyn in 1945 and died in April or May 1998. Gerald had 2 sisters named Ginger and Geraldine. Their parents were named Francis (Frank) and Muriel Haigney. Francis (Frank) owned a bar on or around 5th Avenue in Brooklyn. They lived in the vicinity as well. Frank had 2 brothers named Raymond (who relocated to ? Sterling, Colorado, and Peter who was a dentist. If anyone can assist me in by providing some family history information I would greatly appreciate it.
We have no family contacts in New York, and aside from James (Jim) Haigney, there is no one living that can answer any family history questions for us.
I really want to be able to give my kids some type of information about their Irish family heritage.
Thanks again.

No, no, no! It's pronounced 'HAY-g-knee' :-) Just ask any of us here in the Midlands, UK!
Hi, Liz!
My guess was wrong: the Cohoes City Clerk, at 518-233-2141, kindly informed me that most records prior to 1882 were destroyed in a fire. "So," she said sadly, "you probably will not be able to find them."
Some thoughts I have:
Cohoes was incorporated as a village in 1848, as part of the Town of Watervliet (and became a city in 1869.) That fact might help in your research. Also, we all know that people often registered civilly for their marriages in one county, but actually had the ceremony or church service elsewhere. Maybe your ancestors registered in Rensselaer County.
And, have you visited the Troy Irish Genealogy Society at rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nytigs? They seem to be very familiar with the local church records, and do look-ups as "acts of kindness;" perhaps you can find a church marriage record?
Well, I could write a lot more about this. It's so interesting! But I don't want to take up a lot of space! I do just have to add this: transportation: if we imagine ourselves in Cohoes in 1857, where would we go to register? Do we have a horse, or do we have to walk? Watervliet is a long walk, but so is Troy. Where are the bridges over the Hudson to get to Troy? If Martin is working at the Arsenal, does he "stop in" at the Town Office to register?
I'm stopping here!
Hi Liz!
I've just found your blog, and am enjoying catching up on all of your posts. So, how DO you pronounce your last name? Or did I miss that in another post?
I live in Cohoes, in Albany County. Your story about Martin at the Watervliet Arsenal is interesting. I pass by it often but have yet to go in – now it is on my soon-to-do list!
Thank you for sharing – and your writing style is a joy to read. You are inspiring me to finally get going on a blog of my own. Fingers crossed!
Mary-Alice :)

Moving too fast

My favourite story of the day. Maybe I'm delirious from the altitude here in Utah with all the nosebleeds I've been getting but when this report came across my blackberry earlier, I could barely contain myself. Aretha Franklin has cancelled her wedding to her William Wickerson. It's the statement they released that cracked me up:"Regretfully, To Our Friends and Supporters: Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly.

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Federal agents revived the hunt for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa on Monday, bringing excavation equipment to a field in suburban Detroit where a reputed Mafia captain said the Teamsters boss' body was buried.
Robert Foley, special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit division, said the agency and its partners had a search warrant allowing them to dig at the property in Oakland Township, about 25 miles north of Detroit.
Officials are "here to execute a search warrant, based on information that we have involving the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa," Foley said.
He said the warrant was sealed and details about what was sought would not be released.
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, who joined Foley at a news conference, said it was his "fondest hope" to bring closure for Hoffa's family and the community.
