Linda Thank you for this information, I have had several of the LDS films out for these areas, Gort, Peterswell, CastleDaly and Adrahan and could not find anything, is Kilbeacanty in the same area as Gort as I notice it mentions the Church is listed under Gort. There was a person on the Galway list some years ago who said she had this family and would get back to me but never came back, even when I saw her reply to someone I went back and asked her but her reply was she was too busy and have not heard anything since. It has been very frustrating not being able to find Thomas and Sarah parents or where they came from. I have not been back to Ireland since I did a 4 day tour in 1996, we did not go near Galway but went across the southern part of Ireland.
