Wanted to share an amazing experience with all of you at Genealogywise.com. For decades, I have sought information on my great, great grandmother "Bridget Galway", who immigrated to the US, from Ireland. The only information with which to search was the fact that she married a French immigrant, Andre. As her grandchildren aged, I asked questions and mentally stored tidbits of information they revealed. None of them had ever met Bridget who died fairly young. My grandmother only spoke of…See More

- To find information on my great, great grandmother. Over the decades I was told about her husband, Andrew but very little about her. In fact, her name was supposed to be Bridget. I finally found her on a 1900 census but the name was Delia (the diminutive form of Bridget). She apparently passed away before the 1910 census as Andrew is listed as a widower. Equipped with the name Delia Galway, I found her date of arrival in NY from Ireland. I have also learned that she gave birth to 6 children but 5 survived.
