Hello to all - In answer to your request for postings: I'm new to this list and joined in hopes that I might see the GALLIHER surname as I read the messages sent in by members. Since I have scant information, I had not posted yet. I have not as yet been able to document anything more than Waterford as the residence of Patrick GALLIHER, his wife (Mary MAHER), and a son Dennis, who was born in Waterford abt. 1832 and emigrated to MA, USA. Dennis married Catharine MORRISSEY 25 SEp 1875, Hinsdale, MA and lived in Becket, MA until his death 31 Aug 1914. I have information on descendants from that point on, but am anxious to find out more about Patrick and Dennis, and their home in Waterford. Dennis' death certificate only gave IRL as his birthplace. I am presently awaiting additional census copies which may give me more to go on. I've also checked church records in Becket to no avail as well as some indices at a Berkshire county history center and a town genealogy in the library there. If one has not been naturalized, has not had a village listed on a census, and the ship taken to come here is unknown, where else can a person look? Any other suggestions as to how else I might pursue this search would be appreciated. Thanks for initiating this list and for any possible help.
