County Galway Parish/Townland Name?
« on: Monday 27 July 09 23:54 BST (UK) »
I have a photo of a family gravemarker but can't make out the placename. The name is Michael Killeen and I have attached the web link. I'm not sure if I can post the picture or if they are copyrighted, I did ask Scott if I cold use his pictures..

I appreciate any suggestions. He emigrated to Quebec, Canada in the 1830s or 40s and married a Ceclia Kennedy.
