Dignan family from Co Roscommon

I'm trying to find descendants of the six Dignan brothers and two Dignan sisters who came to America in the 1880's and
1890's. Most of them settled in the Boston/Cambridge area. Their names were John, Laurence (Larry) Michael, (Mike)
Patrick, (Pat) Daniel, (Dan) Luke, Kathleen, (Kate) and Margaret. The family originally came to America from the parish of
Kiltoom in South County Roscommon.

My gggrandfather was Patrick Dignan orginally from Roscommon Ireland. Is there anything else that might help me to identify if this is the one in the same? He married Alice Kelly. I do not know if she was also from Ireland. Do you have any information that might help me?

Did any of these go to MD or any of their Roscommon relative?

My greatgrandfather was named Patrick Dignan. He lived in Wakefield Mass and was married to Ellen Gibbons. The had my Grandfather Thomas Dignan in 1899 ( I believe he was one of the younger children) and much of the family still lives in the Boston area. Any info on Patrick's parents would be apreciated.

Hello! This is a pretty old post but I just stumbled across it. I have an Ellen Gibbons in my family tree who married a Patrick Dignan. They lived in Wakefield, MA. I have no information on Patrick before he arrived in Boston on June 4, 1882 on the ship "Kansas". Ellen Gibbons arrived in Boston from Ireland on the ship "Aleppo" on May 23, 1880. Let me know if this sounds right. Regards, Bridget
