I have been tracing my husband's family tree, and found a Michael O'Malley who came to America from Galway when he was 17 years old. He first came to Boston then Missouri and died in 1920. Michael was born on May 4, 1851 and his parents were Michael O'Malley and Mary Kuig or King. I'm not sure about the mother's maiden name, but it starts with a K. I have never done research outside the United States before so I'm sure where to go next. I don't know what area of Galway they lived in. I would like to hear from anyone who may know this family and has any advice of tracing ancestors in Ireland. D. Pitezel dlpitezel@prodigy.net
