I was given permission to upload these to the NYC Irish website by Carol Granville, who extracted

the information and submitted it to the Galway mailing list at Rootsweb in 1999.

No further information than that which is listed below is available from our contributor.

 
LDS Film 989956 - Extractions
County Galway
Diocese of Elphin 
Parishes of Ahascragh and Killosolan
Parochial Records 1835-1881 - Baptisms
(Occasionally the Christain names are in Latin)
 
 
Maybe the information below will help some of you in your research.

Other names that seem to appear regularly in these records are Geraghty, Tully, Smythe, Owens,

Lally, Kelly, Fah(e)y, Lynch, Laffe, Burke, Mannion.If you are researching any of these names in East Galway,

this film may be helpful to you.

 
I will not do any lookups as the film is difficult to read and our Family History Center is open only two days a week.
 
The information below is all there is with the exception of the Parish Priest who performed

the baptism -- and I still cannot make out what his name is.
