I wonder if my great great grandmother, Johanna Gallivan might be a cousin of your Mort Gallivan.Her father was Jeremiah Gallivan from Kerry.Johanna, b. in 1828, arrived in Boston around 1849 also.She had a sister Julia.Johanna married James Shea, son of Daniel Shea and Mary Sullivan of Kerry.Not sure where the Gallivans were from but believe Sheas were from Dingle area.So hard to trace Gallivans/Galvins because of the name spelled both ways.
