There are many WOODS families in the Mountshannon area of Co. Clare. This area borders Co. Galway. My grandfather's passenger record to US shows he was on his way to visit his cousin (Mary Woods) in South Lyons, Oakland County, Michigan (2 May 1907, SS Baltic, landing in New York) Best regards, Jim McNamara In a message dated 2/10/05 6:01:02 PM Pacific Standard Time, IRL-GALWAY-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: X-Message: #1 Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2005 16:47:49 -0800 From: MrJackWood@webtv.net (Jack Wood) To: IRL-GALWAY-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <28988-420AAF35-93@storefull-3178.bay.webtv.net> Subject: Wood Family Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit I am looking for Wood family members in Galway. My great-grandfather, Francis Wood, was born there about 1814 and emigrated to Quebec, Canada around 1832. He had at least one older brother, and his father reportedly owned or rented land in Galway. I've been unable to locate any Wood names in Galway and any help would be deeply appreciated.
