GALLIGAN, Michael married to Margaret CONWAY

Found a baptism of a Peter Galligan in county Westmeath , they only problem is that the baptism took place in 1840 and Peter was born in 1839, not impossible but odd this Peters father was  Michael Galligan

I found this on the pay-to-view website www.rootsireland.ie

Hope this helps

Greetings Mallow,

Just woke up at 5:30 a.m.  to begin to celebrate St. Patrick's day here in Nags Head, North Carolina. We have a local parade spononsored by Kelly's Bar & Restaurant. I build and organize a float in the parade - the Friendly Sons & Daughters of St. Patrick - Outer Banks Parade Brigade.

What a wonderful surprise to find your message - I will check the research site you mentioned after the parade today. It sounds promising. Maybe St. Patrick is working today through you to reconnect me with Ireland! I'll let you know what the results are later.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this research, it really means so much to me.

ERIN GO BRAGH!

Respectfully,

Gordon Galligan

Good day, Mallow!

I followed up on your research, but unfortunately this Peter and Michael Galligan didn't have the correct mother and wife, Margaret. What a great shot, though! It always is exciting when following a lead.

Thank you very much for taking the time to research and advise me on your findings - you are providing a service that is appreciated more than you may think!

Attached are a couple of photos of our entry in the Kelly's Bar & Restaurant, 24th Annual Outer Banks St. Patrick's Day Parade. It was a cold, windy day. With wind chill it was 39° and the wind was blowing a steady 17 mph gusting to 23 mph when we started and it only got worse from there. Our dancers froze their young dancin' shoes off.

The wind as you can see played havoc with our 2'x12' banners, the poles holding them were actually bending. The second photo is 2 of our 4 dancers practicing before the parade.

ERIN GO BRAGH!

Respectfully,

Gordon
