My first post so I hope I'm doing this correctly. My ancestor Bridget Gallagher came to the US at age 18 in 1909. On the ship's manifest she lists her hometown as Rocktown, Donegal. I can't seem to find this town/village on any map. Does anyone have any idea where Rocktown is located in Donegal? Thanks in advance. Barb Bradley

Hi Barb! Although Rocktown doesn't show on my maps, the passenger list has Falcarragh noted as well - that would indicate it was not far from there. Bernard - info@sportproject.u-net.com - is researching Gallaghers in Rocktown and Craigtown in Tullaghgobegley, so it may be worthwhile emailing him to see if you are after the same family. It looks like Bridget was going to join her sister Rose and I found a Rose Gallagher, 24, on the Furnessia in 1908, father Daniel, she being from Craigtown, Falcarragh. Rose was travelling with Maggie McClafferty, 30, and they were both going to join their cousin Grace Gallagher at 311 42nd St, West Philadelphia. Hope that helps!
