I have used the East Galway folks about four times and have found them very useful in either giving me new information, validating information I already have, or stopping me from pursuing a dead end trail. For the amount of time and effort they saved me, I found out their fees to be very reasonable. Mike from the New Jersey shore...

My ancestors also are from East Galway, so perhaps it would be of use to me as well. If it seem okay, perhaps you could send me their mailing address and/or e-mail address. Thank you, Judy, in Washington State, USA -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Coyne [mailto:coynegen@westelcom.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 8:29 AM To: IRL-GALWAY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GALWAY] Family History Society I recently wrote to the RC church in Woodford to inquire about my ggfather. In responce I received a letter from the East Galway Family History Society Company Ltd. They claim to be the official genealogical research centre for east Galway and included a map of same along with the claim of jurisdiction over this area. For $80 they will tell me if I'm looking in the right County, give me 1 generations information, if available, and inform me if information exists for other generations. I assume that would be an additional fee. Has anyone done business with them? Is this a typical fee structure? In what way are they official?
