I have been researching the Gallivan/Galvin family for some time. Peggy & Mathew Gallivan sailed from Cork Ireland to Canada, landing there in 1841 at St, John New Brunswick.
They subsequently raised a family there, Mathew born 1842,John 1844, Michael 1846, Thomas 1848 and Margaret dOB unknown.
John was my great-grandfather. He became a mariner and sailed back and forth to the UK eventually marrying Alice Purcell(Born Ireland approx 1846). He still went across the Atlantic as a sailor but he settled in Liverpool. I have gained quite a fair amount of information through the University of New Brunswick and this Forum. I do know that at least one member of the Gallivan family moved to Michigan, as in the death notices for Peggy and Mathew's obituary in the St John newspapers it mentioned
'MICHIGAN AND lIVERPOOL PAPERS PLEASE NOTE' That was in Feb 1892 as they died within days of one another.
Michael Gallivan married a Mary Jane Donahue or Donovan about 1876 and had about eight children. I would be most grateful if anyone could give me any ideas as to how to track a Gallivan who settles in Michigan around 1860's.
