Patrick is my great grandfather. 

Patrick Galvin married in Waterbury, Ct 21 Aug 1901 to a very local girl, Kate McEvoy (from Laurencetown / Clonfert/ Galway).  ** i have a public ancestry tree**. the lived in Waterbury, had 8 kids. he worked in the Mills as a Blacksmith. 

i am still trying to figure out about the relation to my "Uncle Tommy" Galvin. i have realized that he is actually likely a distant cousin. he immigrated 30 years after most of my line, in the 1929 but is a cousin somewhere. i didn't start diving into the family history until i was older. but his daughter is actually the one that shed light on the town "Shannonbridge" and that we have people buried at Clonmacnois. i've been researching ever since.
