Inspired by Rosie O'Donnell's success with her Kildare ancestors on Who Do You Think You Are?, I'm wondering if anyone has had success finding their ancestors in Galway workhouses, in particular Gort. The Galway Library has the Gort workhouse records, but I don't know how detailed or organized they are or if it would be a wild goose chase to ask someone to search them for me. Has anyone on the list actually seen them? Diane

Diane, According to By Aengus O Snodaigh © 1997 The Irish People, there were several workhouses in Galway. Check out: http://www.institutions.org.uk/workhouses/ireland/ireland_workhouses.htm Bill
