I'm thinking out loud here. Rahoon is very near Galway City but as I recall it is nearer barna just beyond Salt Hill and possibly in from the coast a short way. You can bet it is likely just a boreen or two. Have a wonderful trip. I'm sure anyone outside the city can direct you. david ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 11:37 AM Subject: [IRL-GALWAY] Galway vs Galway Town > In 4 weeks I will be going to Ireland (still can't believe it!!).

In 4 weeks I will be going to Ireland (still can't believe it!!). I've been busily printing out maps. I have some confusion as to "Galway Town". I find my King/Walsh families on the Griffiths in Clybaun, under Parish Rahoon, "Galway Town". Does the name Galway Town just differentiate from the city of Galway? What about today - is there an area called Galway Town? Kitty **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.

Thanks to all for their response to my question about sending a donation to an Irish church. Karen

Hi, I had research done in Co. Cavan many years ago via mail. I took a chance and sent the minister of the church a US bill, very easy for them to cash at a bank. Our money is very common there with all the American tourists. Dave Blair **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

I don't know any way to send money to another country without one side or the other paying a fee, either a conversion fee or what Moneygram calls a transaction fee. If there is, I'd be happy to learn of it. Diane

They would lose money with the exchange rate and maybe occur a charge for the difference. i sent 20.00 for a record and they did not find it and sent me back 2 euros. i lost money there On Mar 17, 2009, at 5:03 PM, [email protected] wrote: > You can definitely send a check, as local banks will convert dollars > to > euros. > > Diane > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and > the body of the message

You can definitely send a check, as local banks will convert dollars to euros. Diane

what did you accomplish while there ? Were the churches helpful?

While I was in Ireland a few weeks ago, several people were very helpful--particularly at various churches. I would like to send donations to repay them for their kindness. Can I send a US check? What is the best way to send money to Ireland? Karen

That is what I suspected. Thanks to you and to the others who have helped with this.

Gaelic was spoken mainly in the Aran Islands. My cab driver told me they went to a school to learn that. I have the book Irish names and that is not true.

The spelling certainly changes when written in Irish/Gaelic, but usually you can figure out the pronunciation, so Hanlon to Halloran is doubtful--strange things do happen though.  Factor in accents, and it could possibly happen.  I looked for a Dunley for years who turned out to be Donnelly.   Kathleen

For what it's worth, MacLysaght shows Hanlon and Halloran as being two completely different names. Diane

For what it's worth.... We knew my family as Rowan and that's what we stuck with in our research. However, we started finding early U.S. records showing Roughan, Rohan, etc. Sure as shootin'...we found the records in Limerick as Roughan, Rohan, Roohan, etc. I never, ever, found my families as Rowan (in Limerick) in the Giffith's, baptisms, etc. My Galway side always used Welch in the U.S. When researching records in Galway, the name (in 1820's, 1840's) was exclusively Walsh.

I know of Rowans in Western Maryland--they put the accent on the first , skipped the h entirely, and pronounced the second syllable as ON (not awn).  No idea where they wree from   Kathleen
