Hello to all of my root chat collagues. I am seeking the emigration record of George McGilloway born Donegal Ireland 1895. I know that he was residing in Belfast area as apprentice, age17, in 1911 Irish census. I assume that he may have emigrated1917/24. He settled in Philadephia and resided there all his life until his death in 1959. It is his emigration record that I am seeking. Regards
