My great great grandfather, Thomas Lanigan, came over from County Cork, Ireland. Also, my great grandmother's, Jean Hill's (maiden name), father (name: George Hill) came over from England when he was eight years old with his two brothers and parents. He came over on the USS Denmark. My great grandma Kathleen Lanigan (maiden name: Thoma) family came over from Luxembourg. Another thing I have found would be that my great great grandmother was polish.
