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? Bruce Coyne Clayton, NY

May I second a request for information on this organization. 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.
