He came over from Cork (maybe not directly from Cork) but settled in Galveston with his family and was a doctor at the hospital for some time. (1867 - 1884 ???) He was my great-great grandfather. He was born in Cork Ireland in 1800 and a descendant of the Nagle's from Annakissy (and a relative of Nano Nagle 4/9/1718 - 4/26/1784) What I'm looking for are any records of him in Galveston or in Texas. His work, his life etc,.etc., etc. Rich Blenderman Jim Turner wrote: > Cindy Harris wrote: > > > > I was wondering if anyone knew where this nursing school is/was located. > > Cindy, > > Are you sure you have the correct name? > > There has long been a St Mary's Hospital in Galveston.
