My name is Michael David Gallagher, and I live in Houston, Texas.
My fathers name was Harold David Gallagher and passed away in 2000. He had two brothers and two sisters.
My Great Grandfather left the Carribean island of Trinidad in 1906 with his family. They split up and landed in Galveston, Texas, New york, and Montreal, Canada I believe.
Granfather Charlie Gallagher was involved in some way with shipping. Other names associated with the family in Port of Spain were the Franklins, and the Todds. Charlie's wife was a Todd, but unfortunately her name evades me for the moment.
When and how they left Ireland is still unknown to me, but I do know that they left from County Donegal.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. I have searched every archive that I've found without result.
