Goldrick Family

Hi Veronica,

Thank you very much for your message.

Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Cappataggle parish, follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Galway&CityCounty=East%20Galway&parish=Cappataggle&churchid=328

If you would like to contact the parish priest here is the link to their contacts page:

Also, as you can see from the Irish Times link there are copies available from the East Galway Family History Society. Here is their email if you would like to contact them, however please note that a fee may apply:

galwayroots@eircom.net

Alternatively, civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office. Here is their website:
