Interesting and key part of Galway’s history, Lynch’s Castle is now a bank which is a bit distracting loved the map inside and hearing our guide tell the stories of the tribes of Galway, the Lynch f… sallywZ1076XY的完整评论
I am visiting Galway in July 2019, I am a descendant of the Lynch clan who lived in the castle, researching my family tree and would like to know if any of the family still live in Galway ? From what I have found some of the family came to Canada via the United States in the 1700’s, settled in Nova Scotia, became Empire Loyalists and fought in the war of 1812 and on the Plains of Abraham against the French. We have a long line of family members in the military right up to present day. Would make my trip memorable if I could find out anything about the family while in Galway. Gord Lynch

I'd grab a Rick Steves' Ireland book and look up the walking tour he suggests for Galway. There's a good chance the locals that do the tour would have some information or know what direction to point you in.
Thanks for the history! I am a Lynch, the Mayor was my late late late (really late) relative, think grandfather, so its pretty cool to read the history. Funny thing is I didn't know of his son's crime. Heard many different stories. Would love to go out and see it for myself one day.

Hi Michelle, Just read your post about being a Lynch descendant. Fascinating story about the Lynch family in Galway! Galway was beautiful, as was all of the area of ireland I saw on my June 2018 trip. I, and I'm sure others, would love to hear more of your family history if you know any. Unfortunately we had to forego half of our trip to Ireland because of my aunt's death in the US, so we didn't get to see Dublin or anything other than the Westport area. It's ironic--I didn't get to meet any of my Irish relatives through my mother's side in Ireland while I was there, but I got to see a couple of dozen of them when I went to my Aunt Cathy's memorial in Decatur IL.
