Searching for information on the FORDE family of JOHN AND ELLEN (KILLILEA) in Corrandulla. My grandfather, MICHAEL FORDE was one of their children. He emigrated to Boston from Queenstown in February of 1913. I am unable to determine his DOB. I would appreciate any help or infomation I can get on him or his family. I will be in the Corrandulla area at the end of May 2019 and would LOVE to meet anyone who can assist me. Thank you.

Hi Deborah
Michael Forde was baptised in Corrandulla church on 18th September 1881. I have information on Patrick Forde's family who remained on the family farm.
Please contact me at gerlisheen@gmail.com for details.

Thank you Jane. I am so pleased to hear from you and Gerald about my Fordes. Hopefully my daughters and I will be able to find our way around your lovely area. I am especially eager to see the places my grandfather must have spent some time. My father remembers that his father talked fondly about Lough Corrib often.

Hello Jane, Paul, Gerald, et al.
My trip is around the corner! We will be checking in to The Thatched Cottage B&B in Claregalway on May28 and checking out on May 31. Unfortunately, I never received a reply from Gerald regarding my FORDE family and I'm not sure how to meet up with any other of the volunteers.
Please advise?
