Hi Paul,

It would be an idea to post all relevant info. you know of your ancestor in date order to make things easy to follow as it's not clear what exactly you want to know?

What was your g/father's full name (include middle names), when/where born, parents names (include maiden name), where when they married & where when they died?

You've posted in the Common Room without full details of place names & countries.

For others wishing to help it's always best to add full details to save having to 'google' to find out where places are.

Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland

I have no idea where Moville is?

Hello Paul, i agree with Rosinish, give the troops something to work with.
Moville is is on the Foyle Lough in the north east of Co. Donegal R.I. A fishing village that at one time was the stepping off point to the New World.

I will consisely detail all of their folders ....unsure how I share anncetry but dats and all there and pics  too... so if Id so is this where I post the detail....I really did a hell of a lot of research andso looking for gaps to help is all...I fly over and sit in a library for days to close this....my piunt being I have exhauted literallly every thing and so much detail and would not post going here my grandad richard greenock west any help, I am qualified geneologist and boxes of info from scots people, forums and mods and you name it....so after a few years I figure a lot more on line. If ok I post here and figure out how to share my ancestry tree and share sancs collected... atm I concentrationg on My grandad richard ....I literally sent dowen a rabbit hold with 86 odd marriages and and rl takes over , let me give consice on richard and his siblings as a start porobably best....I am fairly sure around 10 galklaghers burried in closest catholic graveyard near st marys.....where they lived around the corner I recall was all demolished at one stage....again I have the info....I just refresh and give ...my ancestry account is live and has all details, unused in a year or two.... it has has...all basic and pile of pics...so Scotland side I am Gallagher/mclean/murphy/mac Tagart - I think....record there might have beeen updated as a few mac tagarts....wright/mc donald.  My Grandad Richard born 1899-1969 st marys greenock, his dad Charkes gallagher 1856-1929 (he married Mary anne murphy - greenock 1869-1943 (he married two same first name), his father was Henry Gallagher from sligo to moville1811-1877 - that was a pain as because of accent and he could not write....census had him as gallocher not gallager, married janet mctaggart 1822/24- 1885, Janets had three siblings JDuncan/Agnus and Christain.....her father was - Ias best I know.....Duncan McTagart 1796 who married Flora McCleanb 1781.....Duncans dad was I think.....Lachlan McTagart 1758 who married Flora McLean b1781, Lachlans dad was Angus mcTagart who married Katherine Mc DOugald.most lived in earlier generations in and arond belive (??) street  3 argile street,Market street mctagarts parish cambelton ARgll (but I am unsure0....so my point is I doing a lot and have what is easist way to trace for me to detail ....just my grandad first all and and x a sig, Henrys father )

Hi Paul,

You've posted an awful lot of info. which will certainly help others descended from your ancestors.

Like you said, posting what info. you have on your grandad "Richard born 1899-1969 st marys greenock" & what info. you're hoping to find would be good.

Is your family tree on ancestry viewable to the public?

You can post a link for those with an ancestry subscription to access it.
