Many influences on Galway Surnames need exploration through historical and online sources. Surname evidence showing emigration, migration and native surname of invasions, settlement, and urbanisation reflect many historic journeys. Methods for locating Galway surnames show how family history sources can assist in finding out about Galway ancestry.
