Finding Family in Galway

Hello!

I live in the US but will be traveling to Ireland on vacatoion later this year. I have been told my whole life about my Irish ansestry. One of my goals while in Ireland is to learn more about my heritage and ancestry. Thanks to my maternal grandfather, I know the family names to focus on are Finerty/Finnerty and Gorham of Galway. Most of my informtion comes directly from a family tree book he left copies of foreveryone and ancestry.com. As my trip becomes closer, I would like to do as much research as possible to prepare to visit Galway and look over the same landscape of ancestors. I would like any help I get on how to find out any more information on my family and how I can weave that knowledge into my plans while visiting Galway.

Thank you for sharing an expertise you may have!
