About the Project

The Higgins Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Higgins name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Higgins name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Higgins's), by time period (18th Century Higgins's), or by topic (Higgins DNA, Higgins Occupations, Higgins Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

I've been adding Higgins profiles this past weekend, and still have more work to do on the Higgins branch of our family. Is that of interest to the Higgins Project? My Higgins ancestors were mostly in Wisconsin, Utah, and Colorado, 1800s.

Hi, my maiden name is Higgins. My father’s family is centered around Providence, Rhode Island. Every generation seems to have several men named James, John, Henry, and Francis, many of whom worked as postal clerks. Several sources say ultimately they were born in Ireland, but I can’t seem to get any further information. Any help is appreciated. I can share what I have, too.

The Higgins' in my tree come from Ireland (Mayo, Sligo, Dublin), Rochester New York, Ohio. I have a brick wall with my Great Grandfather William Higgins (1882-1932). His Father was James but I can't verify that or find records in support.https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Higgins-4825
