| Gallinaghs live in Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey in USA; in Australia; in the counties of Derbyshire, Sussex, Essex, Gwent, Lancashire plus others in Great Britain; in Northern Ireland and in Donegal, Dublin and Limerick in the Republic of Ireland. My name is Robert Gallinagh, born in Ballyshannon in 1949, son of John and Philomena. My grandfather was Patrick born in Ballybofey but moved to Ballyshannon around 1910. He was an railway engine driver with the County Donegal Railway. His father (also Patrick) was a carter (hauler) in Ballybofey, County Donegal, Ireland. Hopefully as people start sending in their family histories we may be able to trace all Gallinaghs back to a common stock.

| Going Home by Pat Gallinagh of Michigan What tis it about this land that makes the sons and daughters track To the place their ancestors left long ago with but the clothes upon their back To escape poverty and persecution and Nature's deadly wrath And try, to forge a living in lands where they were scorned and labeled daft They bore Presidents and paupers and priests and politicians too And performed every type of labor that the Almighty insists we humans do Most stayed around and prospered in their adopted lands But never surrendered their heritage imbued by Time's great hands Could it be the sweeping landscapes or the cliffs that tower above the sea Or the legends of pirate queens or warrior kings and their struggles to be free Perhaps it's just to breathe the air that inspired the master scribes Who saved the works of civilization and gave meaning to our lives Maybe it's to tread upon the soil which yielded this hearty race Who embraces song and dance and laughter to tame the hectic pace Or to follow the course of history of the nations they helped chart By these fierce but gentle people with such melancholy hearts Maybe it's something deeper, a hunger in the soul A longing for the feeling that those immigrants did know That tho they left their birthplace to cross the oceans wide They weren't really leaving Ireland for they carried it inside The reasons, tho are many, and we'll probably never know All the thoughts that prompted them on to Ireland to go But they keep coming bv the millions and once they touch the ground They're destined to return again, for tis their home that they have found More poetry and family photographs of Pat Gallinagh of Michigan CLICK HERE |
