was recently contacted by another Galloway researcher who writes
"Dear Valerie,
I have just found your message on the Armagh website and wondered if your Galloway ancestors are related to mine, who lived in Ballybrolly,Keady, and married in Tassagh Church. There can't be that many Galloways in Keady can there? I feel sure there must be a link. Hope you can find one.
Kind regards,
Mandy Rhodes (nee McAdam)
