Looking for relatives of the late McCabes brothers from Castleblakeney, Co Galway.
Thomas and John McCabe ,brothers who were photographed in their native Castleblakeney in 1915. It is believed Thomas died in the war while John died in New York. In the village of Castleblakeney now unfortunately they are no Mc Cabes but hope fully some relatives can be traced or evidence of where the family lived in those times.
