- - National University of Ireland (NUI)
Galway branch Library - found books on:
Mount Bellow
(where my Peter Garrity was born 1863-1915)
Moylough
a
book titled Moylough - Mount Bellow that was a Ph.D.
dissertation about the
place pre-1600
another book
post 1600 - several pages on DUGGAN - if the book is correct my
ancestors include Peter Doogan who was on land in 1855 that
passed on Edward and Bridget Geraghty. I know that Edward and
Bridget Geraghty are my ancestors. It makes sense that this
'Peter Doogan' is her father but maybe he was an uncle, another
relative, or unrelated? Since they named a child Peter
(1863-1915) he was probably named for Peter Doogan.

Templetogher - to search for KEARNS - in the Springfield Ohio old Catholic cemetery one of the KEARNS grave markers states he was from the parish of Templetogher in Galway. I am not certain if this Kearns is related to mine but there are similar names for children so I'm going to look through parish records at the National Library then go there.

want
