Tracing Your Galway Ancestors

Submitted by nehgsadmin on

A comprehensive guide to tracing families in the City and County of Galway. Galway is home to a diverse population whose culture and history has been shaped by the barren landscapes of its Western seaboard, or the rich farmlands at its Eastern end. In the centre is the historic city of Galway, an ancient trading port and home to the 14 ‘Tribes’ whose story is central to that of the county. Many have emigrated, particularly in the aftermath of the Great Famine. The population dwindled from 441,810 in 1841 to 214,712 in 1891.
